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.

Crushed with Jakebra. Smells like a cross between a quad and an imperial weizen. Complex as shit. Oh and tastes awesome. About as wheaty as a beer can get, but a nice complement of dark fruits makes this one excellent brew.

Smells slightly metallic and slightly sweet smell as it warms. smooth, sweet, slightly milky taste that is very rich. A nice balance of wheat and fruitiness with darker ans sweeter flavors as it warms. A very nice beer. I only wish it were lower in alcohol so I could drink more!

Shared this one w/ SkyCop32. Picked up at Maruhn Getränke in Darmstadt, also picked up the authentic glassware pictured to the left. Pours a crisp cola brown color. Aromas of clove, banana, fruit, and alcohol. Flavor is alcoholic clove and spice with a bittersweet finish. Good beer!

bottle. Pours a dark cola color with a large off-white head. Nose is of spices, bread and banana. Taste is nutty malt, bread and dark fruit. Complex brew. Mouthfeel is medium and carbonated. Very nice.

Poured from bottle a hazy brownish-copper with a large light-tan head. The aroma is fantastic with sweet and spicy notes of clove, rising dough, yeast, and a touch of banana. Flavor is heavy with spicy clove, caramel, yeast, bread, orange rind, a mild touch of sweet banana and honey. The palate runs from sweet to tart with a good carbonation tang that keeps the sweet notes from over-powering the brew. I can’t say enough how much I liked this beer. It was fantastic. If you like weizen beers this is one not to be missed. How did it take me so long to try this one?

My favorite german beer without a doubt. I prefer American Wheat to German Hefe & Weisse beers...but I absolutely love this beer. I have yet to have a Weizen Bock that is better. You will love the mixture of wheat and caramel/scotch malt flavors mixed with chocolatey prune boldness. Just amazing...try one today!
