Ramstein Winter Wheat

Brewed by High Point Brewing Company
Style: Weizen Bock
Butler, New Jersey USA

Dark brown pour with minimal tan head. Aroma of roasty malt, brown sugar, some nuts, slight rauchiness. Tastes roasty malty, with some molasses, nut, and brown sugar. Medium palate with a nice complexity and great balance.

12 oz bottle courtesy Lou18. Very dark brown colour with a mostly lasting creamy beige head. I’ve had stouts that weren’t this dark. Big banana, light chocolate, roasty, and alcohol aroma, with some acidic coffee and possibly lemon notes. Banana, chocolate, roasty, and coffee flavours. Full bodied, rich, smooth, with a refreshing drinkability that belies its abv.

Very dark brown, amber/brown edges, 3cm creamy tan head. Nose of toasty grainy wheat, spicy yeast, cloves. Flavor adds roasted cocoa, light ash, and subtle dark fruits. Medium body is just more carbonated than balanced. Very well done winter brew.

Very strong yeast aroma with some vinuous notes. Black with a huge tan head. The palate is very full. Yeast and plenty of malt flavors. Roasted and full taste--very interesting.

A: I’m probably too much of a n00b to discern the difference, but this Weizenbock looks near-identical to all quality stouts I’ve had. Which is to say, solidly black, with very little dark cream head and minimal lacing, if at all. Appealing at the very least. S: At first you wonder where the aroma of this beer is at all, but a couple of good solid deep inhales reveal a tasteful, sweet scent beneath the obvious dessert flavors. The more I smell it, the better it gets, like a fresh piece of pie. It’s fantastic. T: I’m not sure I can even review this beer unbiasedly (is that a word?), because it’s absolutely one of my favorites. It’s uncharacteristically smooth for such a big beer, lots of bready, malted flavors. Every mouthful of this beer rewards with big flavors of mild milk chocolate, banana cream pie (I swear!), malted sugars and more. It’s amazing. M: So chewy, and so delicious, like a piece of white bread that has been sitting in a sugary chocolate concoction for the past 2 weeks. I almost want to freeze this and eat it with a spoon. D: I only knocked this down a peg because it’s 9.50% ABV and it kicks my tail all over the room. Too bad because I often want to drink about 12 of them in a sitting. VERY drinkable, dangerously so. HIGHLY recommended, a favorite beer of mine.

Aroma is very bitter with some hints of alcohol.Pours dark brown with a tan head.Roasted malt and spices stand out in the flavors.Mouthfeel is thin with some roasted malt in the finish.

On tap at Barcade: Deep brown pour with blood red hue in the light. Sweet malty aroma with hints of dried fruits (figgy, banana) The flavor is malty as well with sweet brownsugar notes and some figs. A bit metallic with a light roastyness in the finish. Kind of simple, but solid.

12 oz bottle- Pours a dark cola like brown with a small tan bubbly head. Scents of chocolate malts,hints of bananas and a bit smokey. Scent is better than the flavor, but still very good. Much of the same flavors with a clovey finish.
