Pours light brown with a tan head. Smells of clove, wheat, some spice. Tastes of dark fruit, some caramel, molasses, sweet finish.

Very nice beer, but I think I’m rating it as a dunkelweizen as opposed to the weizen bock that it is, seeming to me more like the former. Certainly the stronger ABV is well hidden. It pours a cloudy deep chestnut brown body with a substantially sized tan head. Lots of lace. The aroma has scents of aging bananas, a chocolatey malt, soft wheat, a hint of clove, and rust. Fluffy mouthfeel. The malt is caramelly in the flavor, the bananas get even older, a mild nutty bitterness enters the picture, and the spices are muted. Sweet fruity finish. Not too shabby.

Draft. Slightly hazy caramel colored beer with an off-white head. yeast, malt, and wheat aroma. Caramel, wheat, yeast, and banana flavor. Medium body. Sweet caramel lingers with yeast, light banana, and light spice. I liked it more than I thought I would.

On draught at the Columbus brewpub. Pours a ruddy dark amber color with a medium off-white head that lasts pretty well. Aroma of wheat, malt and banana. Medium, soft body with a sweet fruit character. Malt and caramel flavor at the forefront with some banana and wheat behind it. The finish is clean and round with mild fruit and a wheaty finish. Not too bad.

Draft at Toronado; by far the best GB brew I have had; Nose of banana, caramel, bubblegum, and brown sugar; cloudy, very dark brown with a medium tan head; flavor was banana, light brown sugar sweetness, and light bitterness. Damn good WB!

On tap Columbus Ohio... Pours cloudy brown with a creamy tan head that fades relatively quick. Aroma of bananna, caramel, clove, and a bit of the alcohol and some spice. Flavor is all of the above. Nice bannana and clove, mixed with chocolate and caramel and a spicy dry finish. Palate is smooth, very drinkable and a real warmer. Quite delicious as a sipper...

On tap at Mission Valley location. Aroma was of huge banana/bubblegum; hints of alcohol and spice. Color of amber/orange; big off white head. Flavor was not as good as the aroma. Flavor was good, but too mellow of a banana flavor. Tasted more alcoholic than its listed. Not too great for a style I like; but still tasty.
