gameface23 (131), Haverhill, Massachusetts, USA Aug 10, 2008 Pours a cola brown with a thick, rich foamy head. Great aroma of cloves, spices, and a slight hint of bananas. Nice clove taste and bubblegum..Someone was dead-on when they said they tasted Marmite in it. Spicey finish. imawayforapint (17), , Alberta, Canada Aug 9, 2008 Unimpressed, fail to find the fascination (nifty alliteration or what?). Smells like sweet cigar butts steeped in root beer. Mouthfeel alot of effervescence but not the substance i like to see.... likely just the style and my own preference being mismatched here. Only drinking the rest of the case as it bought and paid for. Shall not be revisited. Intotreason (1), , Greece does not count Aug 8, 2008 Probably the best German beer i’ve ever drunk.Great aroma,impressive touch in the palate,sweet aftertaste.This is Weiss for sure!!!! JCastner (102), New York, USA Aug 8, 2008 Updated: Feb 23, 2009Poured a dark brown with a white head from the bottle at NYC’s Loreley. Great wheat aroma with cloves, pepper, and bananas, not to mention plenty of malty sweet goodness from a bock. Raisins, fruit, and dark bread. What a wonderfully balanced beer. Excellent on its own. A new favorite. MitchWayne (264), Kokkola, Finland Aug 7, 2008 Now this is what makes me understand why there is a different rating part for appereance of the beers. Looks absolutely great. Big wheaty aroma, full body, sweetish taste with a lot of things going on, banana and marmite and all kinds of things pop into my head when I taste this great beer. UnholyBrewing (448), Melbourne(Mulgrave), Australia Aug 5, 2008 ...bottle from Cloudwine. This stuff was very impressive. On the nose, has raisins, grape, plum dark fruit like aroma, with hints of spicy clove. Pours a dark browish red\purple, with an off white head that didn’t seem to last for me, but oh well. On the tongue, it massages the taste-buds with a wheaty, slightly caramelitic, fruity goodness, with hints of clove in the finish. Went down very well for such a high ABV, with almost no alcohol flavor. Not too heavy, with nice carbonation that distributes the many flavors. Very easy drinking, and I wish I had gotten two, or more. I definitely want to find this on tap, but doubt I can here in Melbourne. One of the best weizen bock’s I have had so far, and it seems hard to top. A must try for Weizen fans. michael-pollack (2603), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 5, 2008 500ml Bottle: Aroma is slightly sweet. Smells of spices, cloves, pepper, grains, yeast, and some raisins. Poured brown in color with a large, fizzy, tan head that lasted throughout. Cloudy. Flavor is medium sweet. Tastes of raisin, cloves, pepper, spices, malts, and alcohol. Medium body. Sticky, tingly texture. Lively carbonation. Spiced, clove finish. Over-carbonated. turbothy (717), Bonn, Germany Aug 5, 2008 On tap @ Blågårds Apotek. Pours dark reddish brown with large solid head. Sweet aroma. Very good flavour with a full and smooth body.
