Commercial Description:
Dark ruby, glistening mysteriously, streaked with fine, top-fermented yeast, this beer has a compact, stable and long-lasting head. It has an intensive, typically top-fermented clove-like aroma. The palate experiences a gentle touch, on the tongue it is very full-bodied, compact and yet fresh with a hint of caramel. It finishes with a light and delicate taste of bitters leaving behind a strong, smoothly rounded, sour impression.

The pour produced a decent foam up of off white, rocky head that didn’t last that sat on top of extremely thick, dark brown muddy beer with a good amount of very fine silty sediment and slightly spotty lacing. The aroma was of alcohol , dirt, tobacco, some dark spice, smoke, maybe dates adn probably cherries. Very complex! Holy hell the aroma is great. The taste of spicy alcohol, dark fruit (plum / dates),caramel, sweet candy adn yeast make this a complex flavoured beer that seems quite balanced. Medium bodied with a velvety smooth feel despite the bite of alcohol. Has a soft, chewy sweet bready finish and a bit of alcohol as well. Leaves the mouth dry. The belch almost burnt my gut out. Drank the last half in under 4 minites. There was a bit of dustiness from the last couple sips due to the sediment chug. Obviously this is an excellent beer.

Cloudy brownish-red pour with a thick tan head. Nice aroma on banana, clove, and sweet malt. Sweet taste, banana and cloves, with sweet cocoa malt taste. Nice mellow balance taste between the the flavors-Alcohol isn’t noticeable. Nice aftertaste. Nice lacing on the glass.

A nice deep mahogany brown beer with a small off-whitish head that quits quick. Nose is spicy, with some dried fruit and a bit boozy. Flavor is complex, a lot of dark fruit, dried fruit, spice, a belgian yeasty flavor, and tart. Really delicious chewy mouthfeel. I’m no expert in wheats, or weizen bocks, but this seems to me like a belgian dubbel, I’m surprised it has wheat in it. Good beer!

Best Weizen Bock ever for sure. Pours a deep amber orange with a nice head of off white bubbles. Aromas of malt, clove, and soft banana. Clean malty slight-citrus flavor hits the tongue with a perfect amount of carbonation before giving way to caramel, banana, apricot, and hard candy. Then a clove like hop finish before going away leaving the palate awake and wanting more. World Class!

I can’t believe I’ve waited this long to try this one. One of my new favorites. I’m kicking myself now for stupidly pouring this into a pint glass. I would have enjoyed that massive head of foam much more in a glass like the one pictured here. I don’t have to describe the appearance, just look at the picture. Stunning. The aroma is complex with raisins, plums, banana, prunes, clove and other spices. A bit salty. The taste is equally complex with prunes, plums, raisins, and a wonderful spicy character thats by far the best in any weizen bock I’ve had. It ends on a wheat note with mild bitterness. Its medium bodied and goes down very easily. A great summer brew that is light, but massively tasty!
