FunkyBrewster (435), Chicago, Illinois, USA May 27, 2008 Strong malt and dark fruit aroma. Color is deep brown with a small off-white head. Flavors starts out sweet and fruity with a strong wheat flavor through the finish. The fruit creaminess lingers in the aftertaste. Definitely tastes like a weizen with the fruit but is full bodied like a bock. Very solid beer. yumyum (113), barrie, Ontario, Canada May 27, 2008 My favourite wheat beer to date. Typically wheat beers are refreshing but lack depth in flavour. This retains the smooth and easy drinking components associated with german wheat beers while adding a slightly sweet caramel taste and full body. Really nice. Illuminatus (87), Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, Canada May 26, 2008 500mL bottle from the LCBO. Pours dark, murky brown with a large light brown head. Spicy aroma with touches of banana and dark fruit. Flavour is complex, dark fruit, cloves. Excellent mouthfeel, creamy but not undercarbonated. Superb. liinis (695), Helsinki, Finland May 26, 2008 Quite sahti-like banana/strawberry. Mouthfeel also very much alike medium-to fool bodied, but with a bit more carbonation which is good. sweet, strongly yeasty and round. beautiful colour and big off-white head. patricks110 (275), Alberta, Canada May 26, 2008 Updated: Jul 9, 2008Dark doppelbock. High alcohol content is largely unnoticeable thanks to the great bold taste. The taste is sweet and then later bitter. Great beer. Had in bottle at Bottlescrew Bill’s Calgary, AB. Todeon (314), Sweden May 23, 2008 Updated: Apr 18, 2009Bottle. Very cloudy redbrown color with a big beautiful head. sweet smell of bananas and some spicet notes. Really nice mouthfeel with flavors of banana,other fruits and malt. Finish is smooth with some alcohol burn. Banjo7 (5), Ledbury, England does not count May 20, 2008 Simply one of the best wheat beers I’ve drunk. Pours dark brown, with lots of lovely sediment swishing about, large white foamy head. Champagne-like carbonation in the glass. Tastes of clove, raisins, banana. A real winner. In fact, I’ve got one in the fridge & I think I’ll have one tonight! aubucs (15), Florida, USA May 18, 2008 pint bottle into an imperial pint glass. Pours a very cloudy brown with a nice head. Sweet malty smell with some bread smell. Bananas and malt in the taste. Nice carbonation, crisp mouthfeel. Strong alcohol is very well masked. As good in the style as I have had.
