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.

Bottle from stfun. Twist off top... boo! Poured into a weizen. Nice toffee colored head. Dark brown in color. Nice aroma of roasted malts and light coffee. Taste is close to the nose... Roasted malts, light coffee and a little bitterness in the aftertaste to help keep it balanced. Average texture and carbonation level. Overall a very enjoyable beer. Thanks Josh for the hook-up!

bottle poured a brown cola like color with a thin tan head that fell quickly to a ring on the glass. aroma has light roast, chocolate malt, sweetness, and some banana yeast. mouth feel is a medium with high carbonation. flavor starts with roast, chocolate malt, light bitterness, and low sweetness. the banana yeast throws a twist on this and it is darker than expected but tasty.

I am too not an experienced weizenbock drinker. I will go off of the flavors and aromas I did receive. The beer is pretty dark with a cascading head that did not last long. The nose is that of roasted chocolate covered bananas. The smokey roast flavor was totally unexpected. It was a nice welcome. The chocolaty banana flavor is something that is noticeable but not a slap you in the face. This beer does get a little complex as it warms up in the glass. Props goes out to kerry from austin who’s recipe Saint arnold used after winning the BBBB Contest. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 09-24-2008 05:54:29

12oz bottle courtesy of screach. Pours a milky and muddy brown color with a one finger tannish-white head. Aroma is malty and sweet with notes of chocolate, bananas, grass, wheat, yeast, clove, hints of honey, caramel, and spice. Flavor is malty and grassy with notes of chocolate, bananas (stronger than nose), clove, spice, some hints of ripe dark fruits, belgian yeast, some faint nuttiness. Generally medium body with a fruity sweet and malty finish.

Clear brown color with a tan head. Nice dark bread tart wheat aroma. Decent dark bread and tart wheat flavors mirror the aroma, with some spices and smoke to stir things up a bit.

12 oz bottle via Kaggie 97, big thanka! Pours a near black with a small head. Flavors are raspeberry, chocolate, wheat and licorice. Carbonation is just right. Body is medium. A decent beer but unlike any Weizen Bock i have had. Don’t think it is within style. More like a scotch ale... Fuselly.
