Commercial Description:
Norwegian: Weizenbock er et øl med en svært kompleks, men likevel lett smak. Til å være et bokkøl har dette ølet i tillegg til sitt tydelige maltpreg også mye av hvetegjærens frukt og nelliksmak som kombinert gir en stor smaksopplevelse. Ølet tåler lang lagring og blir bare bedre med tiden, kan nytes til alle årstider. Passer utmerket også som juleøl.

English: This beer has a very complex, yet light taste. For a bock this beer combines maltiness with the fruity clove-like taste of weizen yeast for a great taste experience. The beer is suitable for long-term storage and improves with age. Can be enjoyed at any season, also as a Christmas beer. (Translated from the Norwegian.)

50cl bottle from Vinmonopolet. Batch 81. It poured a dark brown colour with a huge light brown coloured head that disappears slowly in the glass. It has a dominantly malty aroma, but there is also some fruit (prunes?) and dark chocolate with a high consentration of cocoa. It has a dry, bitter and smoky flavour that tastes of malts, raisins and alcohol. The aftertaste is short and bitter.

Pours a dark brown colour with a huge brown head. The aroma is malty and very sweet perhaps with a bit of dark fruit too. The flavor is also malty and has notes of prunes.

500ml bottle. Dark, dark brown body, almost black. Big foamy, brown head. The head continued getting out of the half-empty bottle for several minutes. Without this volcanic reaction the appearance would be 5. Aroma is light roasted malt, dry fruit, leather and yeast. Flavor is roasted malt, burnt caramel, and roasted coffee. A nice beer with a balanced flavor and a bit aggressive carbonation. Refreshing and easy drinkable. One of my favorites from Haandbryggeriet.

So far i’ve had some pretty great experiences with this style, and haandbryggeriet usually brew some top qual beers, so i had great expectations. Exploting head, muddy dark brown look with a very bubbling brown head that remains. Medium amount of fruity esters, quite vinouse and with a high amount of roasted chocolate and burned nuts. Flavor is very complex, at first the vinouse notes comes through as a nice alchohol note, backed up by the fruity esters comming through in the mouth aroma. After a little while a strong burned bitterness comes through, dark choholate and a tough of smoked wood. Definatly a fine brew.
