Commercial Description:
The grandfather of weizen beers, this full-bodied ale is made with 45% wheat, which contributes a slightly fruity, malt flavor. Flavor is dominated by the bready malt character and the expected banana and clove flavors from the yeast.

Draught at Phoenixville BrewPub: Aroma of weizenbock, spices, yeast, malts, light molasses, wheat, light toffee, and a hint of banana. Poured amber/brown/copper in color with a medium-sized, tan head that lasted throughout. Hazy. Sparkling. Good lacing. Flavor is medium sweet. Tastes of yeast, spices, malt, slight brown sugar, slight molasses, wheat, slight tobacco, light caramel, and hints of cocoa and chalk. Medium body. Lightly thin, slightly dry texture. Soft to average carbonation. Yeast and spice finish is slightly dry. 7.5%ABV is totally hidden.

(On tap in Lancaster) Wheaty, rich,a bit sweet and a bit sour, very fruity without being too estery. A totally different category from the indescribably awful Hefeweizen brewed by this same brewery. Enjoyable, and moderately complex.

Draft at Wilmington location. Poured deep brown in color with a beige head. Aroma was fruity and sweet. Taste of fruity esters, banana bread, cloves, and mild spices. It was pretty average but certainly not a bad beer.

Draft at the Wilmington location listed as Irontinus weizonbock: Dark brown in color, with a decent head. Aroma was a sweet sugar malt smell. Taste was light, smooth, sweet brown sugar, hint of banana and a nice touch of hops. Over all very good. I would go back just to have another!

Draft, at Iron Hill Media. Poured cloudy deep brown, with a moderate sized tan head. Beautiful aroma, with smoke, wheat, citrus and spice. Complex flavor, with wheat, bready malt, banana, clove, orange, ans smoke. Fairly full bodied. Great beer.

Iron Hill Hercules at North Wales. Dark brown body with a light haze and spritzy, root beer quality to the head. Prominent notes of chocolate, banana bread, and clove. Makes me think of chocolate wheat malt. Has an additional note of raisins. Notable residual sweetness. Solid, full-flavored and interesting weizen bock.

Draft @ North Wales - listed as Hercules - Cloudy and brown with a decent size beige head. Aroma is very sweet with some caramel, banana, spices and sweet, yet powerful bready malts. Taste is a full-bodied mix of bready-wheat malts, sweet bananas, dried cherries. Smooth, yet bold. I’m gonna have to put this up against my previous favorite American W-Bock from Ramstein and see which one wins........
