Commercial Description:
This is a dark, slightly chocolatey weizenbock with an undercurrent of bananas and cloves. There is a slight spiciness from the hops and a balanced malt that hides the strength of the beer. It was brewed with Dark Wheat, Light Wheat, Chocolate Wheat, Pilsner, Munich, Special B and Chocolate malts and Northern Brewer hops. We used a traditional Bavarian hefeweizen yeast which gives the beer its distinctive clove and banana character. It is unfiltered. Enjoy at 45°F or warmer. We are curious to see how this beer will age.

This particular bottle is courtesy of Daknole. Pour is murky brown with almost no head. Aroma is sweet and brown sugary with notes of dried fruits, alcohol, coffee, and lemon. Flavor starts with a touch of acidity, then dates, figs and some sweetness come through. Finish istobacco, lingering acidity and hints of coffee. Wheat comes through at the very end.

Bottle courtesy Blutt59, thanks Bob! Pours a cloudy hazy brown with a thick tan head. Bubble gum, banana, yeast, roasted grain, caramel malt aroma. Lots of the same flavors in the taste with a very thick Belgian yeast style mouth feel. Really a well made beer and maybe not as much of the typical weizen bock characteristics as youwould like, but still a dynamite beer.

Pours a hazy brown with a little tan lace and no head. Nose has notes of nail polish, alcohol, banana, clove, spices. A bit too much alcohol up front in the flavor, but this beer improves as it warms. Notes of chocolate, clove, light hops.
