Oct 17, 2008 [Bottle] Pours a clearish ruby/caramel brown with a smallish beige head. Aroma has a whole lot of wheat malt, banana, yeasty aromas, a touch of alcohol, and quite a bit of clove. Flavor is malty and a bit sweet, but is balanced by the tart, citric wheat. Theres a bit of caramel in there, It changes greatly as it warms, a hint of vanilla and more dark fruits come through, and the beer smooths out incredibly.

Oct 13, 2008 Cloves and pepper with a slight amount of bannana on the nose. Taste was one of raisons and a slight choc/toffee flavour, this kept developing as the beers temperature changed until fruity bannana became evident in the taste as well as aroma.

Oct 13, 2008 This deep rusty russet beer poured with a creamy thick head, the sediment gets stuck in the head leaving little dusty dots all over the top, reminding me of a cappucino. Spices on the nose of cloves, with cinnamon and vanilla. The taste of fruitcake (orange peel, sultanas and treacle) and toffee lollipops, but with a alcohol warmth you won’t find at the lolly shop. Comfortable in your hand. Will this beer improve if cellared?

Oct 13, 2008 Bottle. Dark ruby colour with a nice off-white head. Aroma of banana and malt. The flavour is sweet, fruity, malt and wheat. Medium to full-bodied. Very nice weizenbock.

Oct 11, 2008 Very well done. Rich malty aroma. Lots of wheat and yeast in the flavor, with clove and banana and raisin, and a creamy body. The sweetness becomes a little too much as it goes on, but this is a good beer.

Oct 9, 2008 Updated: Dec 20, 2008[500ml bottle at the Royal Standard of England, Beaconsfield] Gorgeous branded glass with this one. Chestnut black with a large beige head. Some carbonation - I would prefer a little less, but it’s in no way excessive. Tatses of raisins, prunes, figs, treacle, cloves, orange, plums and all things Christmassy (um... apart from turkey...). Like Christmas pudding in a glass - you could imagine using this as a sauce to go on your desert. Despite the sweet, rich flavours and the high ABV, this beer surprisingly does not leave a sticky mouthfeel - although I swear I could still taste . Very very good indeed as a winter dessert beer - although not something I’d particularly want on a summer afternoon! Very impressive stuff! c9
