Samuel Adams LongShot Weizenbock

Brewed by Boston Beer Company
Style: Weizen Bock
Boston, Massachusetts USA

12 oz. bottle: This one pours a quite opaque darker brown color. There was a bit of a creamy tan head on it that dropped off some what quickly and left a little lacing. There is definitely some, but not overly so, clove to the nose. Malts and fruits in there also, but they have a hard time getting past the clove. The taste is good. There is a somewhat creamy texture to the beer. Just slightly sweet, with clove and other spices dominant. Slightly bitter finish. Nice.

Pours very murky dark brown with a large light tan head. The aroma has candied bananas, rich wheat malt, cream, cloves and other spices. Medium / thick rich body with semi-soft carbonation. The flavor begins with medicinal taste that is a bit thin, some bananas and a bit of sweetness - not nearly as rich and inviting as the aroma. The finish has come clove and heavier on the richness than the initial taste. Okay for the style.

Pours a deep mahagony reddish brown with a lasting medium to small head. Aroma is on the sweet side with tons of caramel malts typical bana and dried fruits esters and a light phenolic vanilla as well but definitely skewed towards sweet and fruity. Flavor is also sweet and sticky with caramel malts, toffee, nuts, light chocolate, fruity esters, banana and fusel alcohols. Pretty smooth overall.

Bottle and served in my Aventinus glass: A murky brown hue with an initial large foamy head which produced very good lace. The aroma has notes of toasted and caramel malts, banana, clove, lemongrass esters, walnut, and some floral hops. The taste is a lot like banana nut bread with a spicy and herbal finish. Some smoke and nutty qualities found as well. The mouth feel is smooth and refreshing with a medium body. Overall this is a very good example of the genre but sadly you need to buy the crappy grape ale to get this. Worth a try for sure if you can singles.
