Commercial Description:
Dark ruby, glistening mysteriously, streaked with fine, top-fermented yeast, this beer has a compact, stable and long-lasting head. It has an intensive, typically top-fermented clove-like aroma. The palate experiences a gentle touch, on the tongue it is very full-bodied, compact and yet fresh with a hint of caramel. It finishes with a light and delicate taste of bitters leaving behind a strong, smoothly rounded, sour impression.

This beer is magnificent my all time favorite. Commonly served chilled. If you are feeling adventurous I suggest to try it at room temperature. A whole new experience...

Oh, one of my alltime favourites. Greats taste of gingersnaps, mature bananas, koriander and some fruitiness too. Very warming, I guess that’s why some people think It’s seasonal, perfect after a cold winters day. Love it!

One of the great beers in the world, incredibly smooth with complex flavors that last and last. My favorite double bock (Celebrator being #2) that I insist on having at least once/week. Great with dessert!

Pours into a hefe-glass with a shaded redwood color, the stable and very present cloud of toasted ivory foam, hovers overhead. Warm banana spice cake tones find their way into your mind via the incredible nose of this Weizenbock. Malt and sweet plum flavors give way to a perfectly balanced, slightly tart, dark fruit finish. The mouth feel of this beer puts it over the top, giving it all the qualities of a incredibly crafted brew. The wheaty, medium bodied fresh finish lingers favorably until the next sip. Brunnen getan, meine Deutschen Brüder, gut getan……Pairs as well with bacon wrapped bockwurst, as it does with a medium rare filet mignon...enjoy

I tried this the other night at a local bar, I loved it so much I had to find it again. It has a very cloudy golden red tint to it. I tastes just like it smells, kinda fruity with a slight bitter finish to it.

One of my favorites. Pours a dark redish hue with a considerable tan head. Aroma of wheat, malt, and citrus, very nice. Can taste wheat, spice, and dark cherry. Mouthfeel is perfect, not to thin but easy to drink. Strong beer, it sneaks up on you, its easy to forget that it is 8.2 because it tastes so smooth. One of the best out there.

Thick wheaty and sweet aroma, both one of the sweetest and wheatiest aromas I have smelled. Plenty of spices in there as well as a touch of chocolate. Pours a dark unclear brown with a very quickly dissipating head. Looks to be quite carbonated. Not as sweet as the aroma would predict, beautiful beer. Sticky on the lips, long and complex aftertaste. Alcohol is extremely well hidden but after drinking 500mL you can feel the 8.2%. I REALLY like this beer, I can’t believe I only bought one bottle. Have to find more!

Unusual favor, you can’t really compare it to any other beer out there. But, hands down this is one the world’s top 10 best beers.
