From bottle. Raw wort with light caramel. Bit of vanilla and some light fruity hops. Touch of oaky character. Radiant golden amber, dark with thin off-white lacing head. Medium heavy watery body with medium carbonation. Smooth with alcohol warming. Starts sweet with smooth raisin, oak, and vanilla. Warming plum and brown sugar. Light neutral bitterness at the finish with smooth after. Nice quaff but not what I’d call a typical Weizenbock.

Aug 16, 2008 2008 Flour City Brewfest. I really enjoyed this one. Aroma is sweet with a light smoke and some mild spices. Taste is sweet, sugary and also some spices. Very enjoyable and easy to drink. Well balanced and well made.

Jul 30, 2008 Pours a reddish orange color with a thin white head. The aroma has bananas and sweetness. Flavor of bananas, sweetness and some wheat. The body is light to medium with an oily texture and gentle carbonation. This is true to the 100 Barrel Series, which is not a compliment.

Jul 5, 2008 Courtesy of Nate. Pours a dark copper red color with a small white fizzy head. The aroma has some notes of vanilla, oak, alcohol, some prunes, raisins, and heavy cream. A little hot, but has some good woody vanilla flavors. Dark fruit like currants, a little golden raisin, and fruity alcohol. A pretty oily texture. Very little carbonation in this one, but the nice body of the beer keeps it from being too watery.

Jul 5, 2008 Thanks to Nate for sharing! This is the first of the 100 barrel series I’ve had the pleasure of trying, but I’ve always wanted to. Nice copper body with a rich off-white head. Worty sweet aroma with syrupy, maple, molasses, brown sugar, banana, and pepper notes. The taste is tremendously sweet, almost cloying, and slightly acidic, with hints of banana, clove, cream, pepper, and herbal notes. Slightly warming, and very full in the belly. Not an easy sipping beer for sure. Chocolate and caramel notes come out strong as it warms, but so does the alcohol.
