Plank Dunkler Weizenbock

Brewed by Brauerei Plank Laaber
Style: Weizen Bock
Laaber, Oberpfalz/Bayern, Germany

Cloudy amber/brown color,small off white head that had a decent hang time.The aroma was malty sweet with some hints of caramel or toffee in there.The flavor was mild all around.Mild malty taste with some hints of caramel and a slight metallic taste in the middle.It slowly changes in the end to a slightly bitter bite and a hint of band-aid coming up as well.I’m guessing this brew has to be better then it is,i must just be lucky in getting a funked up bottle.The brew is weak and mildly flavored and thin with a funky after taste.I’ll have to score another bottle and rerate again but for this bottle it’s just pure garbage.

Bottle@Home. Butterscotch and banana aroma. Cloudy, brown color, beige head, good lace. Sweet, banana, light malty, butterscotch, nice hops, medium body. Very flavorful, easy going. Thanks DerDoppelbock!

Thanks to Chris for the bottle. Poured ruddy amber with a tall, creamy cap of yellowy-beige head. The aroma picked up rich, overripe bananas, cloves, black pepper, and a pinch of cinnamon.. nice dusty yeast esters all around. The flavor had toasty banana and light baker’s chocolate at the core with black pepper, cloves, and raw alcohol toward the back.. finished hot with more pepper. Medium-bodied on the palate with higher carbonation and solid balance.. just got a bit rough at the back.. otherwise a solid brew.

500ml bottle - Pours dark brown with a big, fluffy light tan head. The aroma is of roasted malt and a little yeast. The flavor has that roast malt and some dark fruit esters. Medium bodied and lively on the palate, it’s very quaffable.

Sweet ,fruity, malt aroma. Highly carbonated and a white, tingly head. Sweet and punchy, fading to a mild finish. Brown ale pilsener. Makes the lips feel spicy.

16.9oz bottle, poured brown with white foam head, mostly dissipated, with good lacing. Aroma of spices, sweet and roasted malt, and some tart citrus. Taste of cloves, slight hops, and sweet malt. Mouthfeel is slightly creamy and fizzy. Good refreshing beer.

Very large head. At least 3 inches of beige foam. Dense and creamy on top with moderatly sized bubbles. Excellent carbonation. Rich chocolate pudding aroma with some dusty malts and spices. Color is a very dark mahagony brown. Fizzy in the mouth with some light fruity flavor, roasted malts (late) and some wheat presence. You feel it more in your mouth rather than really taste it. Noticable alcohol presence. Finishes with some lingering spices and dry malts. I like ths brew for just being a straight forward weizen bock. A welcome brew.

Bottle. Deep brownish copper in color with a little off white head. Malty caramel toffee aroma. Spicy notes. Sweet roasty and malty tasting. Alright. Not really that exciting of a beer. Medium bodied. Finish is roasty. Decent.
