The head is very very thick, light tan, but quickly receding. The aroma was spicy and sour. Tasted acidic, sour, spicy, and hints of banana. The palate was very nice and crisp. Went down warm (probably bc of alcohol). The alocohol actually adds more to the beer as it warms. marcus (1860), Sacramento, California, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | May 16, 2006 On tap at Wine Exchange of Sonoma. This dark brown ale poured with a massive tan head and a sweet caramel aroma. The flavor is amazingly intense for a wheat beer, and the hops and malt are quite well balanced. A very nice brew.

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 6, 2006 Poured from the bottle at The Volunteers on Baker St (London), deep brown with a large rocky slightly off-white head. A strong raspberry aroma with juicy malt in the background. Malty on the palate, with stewed pip fruits and caramal towards the middle. The finish is rich and tangy. mgumby10 (1858), Jupiter, Florida, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jan 19, 2007 One of my favorite germans, it did not disappoint again. Pours a light brown or dark amber with a stable tan head. Smells of banana, malts, and light clove. Tastes are similar to the smells. Get a lot of sweet malts, banana, a little nutmeg in there as well. The finish has hints of chocolate and a nice little bitterness as well. This along with the Ayinger Celebrator are probably my two favorite German bocks. iowaherkeye (1856), Los Angeles, California, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 6, 2006 Pours a cloudy orangeish brown with a bigass light brown head. Aroma is of yeast, bananas, cloves, raisins, caramel, and some wheat. Taste is much of the same. Tart up front, then some bitterness comes in, and then lots of cadied sugary sweetness on out. Can definitely taste the alcohol. Has characteristics of both bock and a weiss, though I think it leans more toward a weiss. Very good. Crosling (1854), Loveland, Colorado, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 3, 2004 Pours a murky gloomy crushed up spoiled pear with pit included. Head is white, frothy, lasts long and laces well.
Subdued chocolate covered banana aroma with some clove spicyness.
This tastes pretty damn good! This is wonderful! It is simple yet complex and very flavorful. Banana and clove spicyness with some other light fruits and moderate spices. Get a tiny bit of chocolate but not much. Alcohol is very well hidden which makes this just about as drinkable as a regular 5% Hefster. Sham (1846), Seattle, Washington, USA

Sweet and flavorful taste, with some alcohol. Definately a good bock. LinusStick (1844), Moon Twp, suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA

Pour was a hazy light brown with no head. Aroma was all wheat and yeast. The taste was a classic hefe weizen with a taste of.....raspberries? I know but that’s what it tastes like. Good stuff
