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.

1 pint bottle. pours hazy brown- very nice to look at. Little to no head, no lacing (might have had this one a touch too chilled... or it is an old bottle?) Aroma is typical fruits. Flavor is complex and very enjoyable. High carbonation, some bitterness in the finish. This is my first venture into the Wheat-Doppelbock realm, and I’m impressed. This beer is a winner!

Clear deep brown pour with a thin light tan head. Bubblegum and clove aroma with sweet candy and malt. Very dry with clove, banana, and bubblegum. Bitter finish. Smooth and creamy.

500 ml. bottle (2008) in a weizen glass. Pours a deep mahogany w/ a complex color profile approaching the edges, large ivory head that eventually remains steady at a half-inch height, thick and creamy. Bananas and cloves dominate the nose, especially the latter- huge cloves and undertones of anise. Vanilla comes through in the very first sip; crystal and dark malts give it a complex, rich malty profile that leaves a ’ring’ reminiscent of hastily eaten cotton candy. Bananas are even stronger in the flavor than in the nose. Full in the mouth and very quenching. Some bitterness at the end disappears as the beer warms up. Lovely brew.

This is a classic beer. Intense, dark colour, good head yet the balance of strong spice, chocolate, cloves and caramel makes you want to go back for more!! Fills the palate and pleases the appetite.

Bottle. Ruby coloured beer. Persistent head. Banana, peach, apricot, vanilla, very sweet, hint of caramel too. A magnificent beer that is better than most Belgians IMO. I wish it was more widely available here in the UK. One of my all time favourites.
