Hopper (277), San Antonio, Texas, USA Aug 14, 2009 A cloudy dark brown beer with a nice looking 3 finger head. Aroma was spicy & complex almost like spicecake. Taste was banana, chocolate, spicy, & bready with a cake like taste, & undertones of wheat. This beer really looks good in the glass & dazzles with a lot of carbonation activity. I do not know that much about bocks but this is my favorite, & probably one of the best in the world. mcdav2154 (289), Germany Aug 14, 2009 Body dark red color with a huge head that disappears extremely quick. Very weird, no head left at all and lacing is nowhere to be found. Smell is different and complex. Notes of caramel, chocolate, raisins, plums, and licorice. Taste was about the same. Not too sweet and has some bitterness in the aftertaste. Mouthfeel is like a cream soda in a way. Pretty dang good beer. drowland (1360), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Aug 14, 2009 Had side by side with the Eisbock... slightly lighter in color than the Eis. Aroma is clove and dusty/champagne with fruit esters and bubblegum. Flavor is strangely inviting, like a deep hefe with hints of Belgian Ale... YUM! beernovice39 (240), South Carolina, USA Aug 13, 2009 Pours dark copper with light tanish white head. Complex scent....all kinds of stuff going on. Just as complex in taste! Malt etc...not too sweet though really liker....made me think of Celebrator etc.....really like it,...MORE? curly (548), Nashville, Tennessee, USA Aug 12, 2009 Pours dark amber with a puffy off-white head. Aroma of yeast, cherries, honey, and roast malt. Taste is a perfect balance of caramel malt and wheat. Sweet but also very rich and dynamic. Full bodied and creamy. God bless the Germans. MrGGen (221), Italy Aug 12, 2009 Colore marrone scuro(scurissimo!).Schiuma cremosa e aderente ,frizzante e leggermente densa, buona persistenza.Ricco e speziato l’aroma. Gusto tostato e leggermente amaro. Finale lungo e piacevole. Notevole tenore alcolico, molto equilibrata. E piacevole da bere...e ri-bere! MissK (20), Cleveland Heights, Ohio, USA Aug 11, 2009 Bottled - deep color with a big head. Smelled great with a spicy, banana aroma. Tasted some chocolate and a finish of clove. grebs (69), Ohio, USA Aug 10, 2009 Cool deep burgundy color. Complex nose and equally complex flavor dominated by banana and clove. Spice comes in late. Very well balanced in all facets. Head lingers quite nicely. Supreme for its style!
