santos999 (318), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 2, 2008 Pours a hazy dark amber with rich, creamy white head. Smells very much like bread or cereal, with some clove and banana notes, but also a strong hint of sewage. Very rich and creamy taste, with many flavors being revealed with each sip. Cinnamon, clove, pepper, bananas, and cherries with malty sweet, slightly acidic finish. Not a bad weizenbock at all. JB175 (1654), Bucks County, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 2, 2008 This is an exciting beer for me since this guy is from my hometown of Lombard, IL! - a beer non-entity (until recently when a Rock Bottom (Yorktown) opened up. So its with pride and excitement that I celebrate one of the Lilac Village’s own making the big time with this brew. Nice looking cloudy brown with a medium head. Aroma is big, sweet, and inviting - lots of banana, clove, and rich wheat. Flavor is a bit sweet, a bit spicy - cloves and banana/dark fruit dominate. I’m also getting alot of real wheat here. Not my favorite W-bock, but a solid take on the style that I should grab more of before its gone. scrizzz (1248), kirkland, Washington, USA Apr 2, 2008 beautiful look! the deep amber color has a cloudy haze but what really stands out is the thick creamy dense dusty tan head that easily stands over the rim of the glass with pride and authority. great classic german clove aroma but not overly spiced. heavy in flavor, but not heavy in body. tasty beer, some holiday banana bread flavor, but none of the additional flavors are in excess. the roasted wheat stands out and shines with always the full bodied yeast throughout. BeerZack (116), Austin, Texas, USA Apr 1, 2008 Cloudy dark brownish color, tinge of orange. Decent bubbly tan head that laces well.
Big sweet artificial banana jumps out, some allspice and bit of alcohol.
Wheaty banana, raisin, allspice, clove and way too much alcohol detectable.
Soft, fine carbonation gives a nice smooth mouthfeel. This isn’t a bad beer, but I’ve had a lot better Weizenbocks than this, way too alcoholy. LilBeerDoctor (1480), East Setauket, New York, USA Apr 1, 2008 Bottle. Pours brown with a huge tan head. Leaves slight lacing on the glass. Aroma of wheat, bubblegum. Taste of more wheat, bubblegum, spices, molasses, and honey (very faint). I got a slight alcohol burn in the finish...A complex brew! Very refreshing too. topherh (878), Kearney, Missouri, USA Apr 1, 2008 12 oz bottle pours hazy brown with a huge, thick off white head. Aroma of spices, clove, and banana. Flavor is of clove and banana with a slight wheat bitterness at the finish. Not my favorite style, but this seems to be pretty good jimhilt (1663), Bow, New Hampshire, USA Apr 1, 2008 Pours a five+ finger cream head that fades slowly to a thin layer leaving a good lace. Cloudy amber color. Good carbonation and medium bodied. Spicy wheat nose.
