Samuel Adams LongShot Weizenbock

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

12 ounce bottle from a 6 pack that was purchased at BevMo in Natomas, CA. Aroma has plenty of banana-like yeast esters. Light molasses and light sweet aromas are also present. I also detect some nice clove notes, too. Pretty aromatic and pleasant. Moderately hazy dark amber body with a medium, tan-off-yellowish head. Nice lacing. A little dry roasty malt flavors to start, before some yeasty banana and clove-like esters take over. Some dry and wheat-like flavors take over at the end. Light bitterness and light roasty choco notes at the end. Pretty good stuff.

12 oz bottle, from Longshot six-pack, BevMo LaJolla. Pours cloudy chestnut brown with golden highlights when held to light and an off-white head. Toasty aroma with burnt banana, smoke, molasses, herbs, dark brown bread and yeast. Sweetish flavor of over ripe bananas, yeasty black peasant bread, wheat, lemon, herbs and floral hops. Full body, with light carbonation. Not bad.

12-oz bottle. Pours brown with an average, rocky, light brown head, somewhat diminishing with good lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (cookie, straw, nutty), light hops (grass), average yeast (dough, earth) with notes of banana and date. Full bodied, alcoholic texture, average carbonation, and a bitter finish. Long duration, moderate sweetness, acidity, and bitterness.

Aroma – Nice wheat aroma with a lingering dried fruit. Very nice.
Appearance – Amber in color, Nice thin head and Slight haze.
Flavor – A deep bready brew with a strong wheat flavor and malts. Liked the off banana and dried fruit in the background.
Palate – Good Mouthfeel, Nice texture with a dry finish.
Overall – A very nice Weizenbock brew. Had some great malts and flavors could drink this all day.

Pours a clear brown with a substantial light brown head. Aroma of a classic weizen with some dark chocolate and burnt sugar character. Taste is sweeter than expected; roasted peanuts, toasted malt and popcorn. Strange, but really good.

Wowie. This was a huge hit. Aroma is super malty with some nice toast to it. Flavor is like a toasted chocolate covered banana. I even got some ice cream to drizzle this over and it was just marvelous. My wife enjoyed it very much as well. Well done Rodney!

Bottle poured a cloudy brown with a small lingering tan head. Aromas of dark fruit, wheat, clove and light carmel. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of dates, banana, clove and light carmel with a smooth lingering spiced finish.
