This is lovely and dark with a big white head. Aromas are sweet chocolate malts and banana. Flavours are as rich - being banana, chocolate, lots of malts and bready yeast. A great beer. maeib (4725), Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England

Tastes malty, with hits of fruit, cognac, nuts, cloves, and a firm, dense finish. Solid mouthfeel. This is a top notch beer. Lubiere (4528), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 7, 2002 Updated: Jul 1, 2005Head is initially huge, frothy, off-white, fully lasting. Body is hazy medium orange-brown, bottle conditioned. Aroma is moderately malty (caramel, toasted bread, cookie), moderately yeasty (cobwebs), with notes of banana, clove, brown sugar, light note of alcohol. Flavor is heavily sweet, moderately acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is moderately sweet, moderately bitter, moderately acidic. Medium to full body, velvety texture, lively carbonation, lightly alcoholic. Good stuff, though I expect this could be made better. I don’t know that I’ve had a better doppelbock-weisse to date, but neither the aroma nor flavor balance is mind-blowing. Not to disrespect this one, all I’m saying is there is some room for improvement. I want to see Andechs make this style. I love the glassware for this, though. muzzlehatch (4427), Burlington, Vermont, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Aug 19, 2001 Sweet, fruity, spicy nose (could be stronger). Barely translucent deep red/brown body with a great creamy head. Flavor --huge -- doublebock/holiday spice beer flavors (cinnamon,apple,cloves) duke it out with weissbeer characteristics that seem to win out in the end. An amazing beer, but not for every day; too much! motelpogo (4394), Plzen, Czech Republic
