Scuttlebutt Weizen Bock

Brewed by Scuttlebutt Brewing Co.
Style: Weizen Bock
Everett, Washington USA

From a 22-ounce bottle--This is the one a server at the brewery in Everett called "the panty dropper." The brew I enjoyed was 7+% ABV and not 6.1% as listed here. It was also a lot better than the low score here indicates. Hazy chestnut body with a small tan head. Nose of sweet fruits and raisins. Mild booziness that was well masked. Complex and smooth as a baby’s bottom. Yum!

Bomber courtesy of RiversideAK. Pours mahogany with a tan head. Smells of raisins, wheat, spices, some cloves, rosey, some earthy hints. Tastes lightly peppery with lots of spice and sweet malt. The esthers I usually associate with weizenbock aren’t quite there, but pleasant.

This has a rich color and a strong head with an amber/orange hue. It is chewy, flavorful and slightly fruity. Light yet hardy body and I can"t get the slight flavor of circus peanuts candy off of my mind. Good beer over all. Mid-range above average.

Muddy brown color. Chocolate, wheat, clove, and slightly sour aroma. Flavor is sour chocolate and banana with a mild bitter presence too. I thought it was good.

Appearance: Pours a clear, mahogany-hued body with a thin, dissipating, whiteish head. Smell: Caramelly, malted wheat aroma with hints of toast, clove, and raisins. Taste: Malted wheat with a spray of toasted, sweet caramel. Dash of cloves. Light taste of raisiny fruitiness. Restrained spicy hops with a light bitterness. Bitterish finish with a lingering spiciness. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Mild carbonation. Drinkability: So-so as far as weizenbocks or even beers in general go!

Bottle Pours a slightly hazy light orange/amber. Small quick head and spotty lacing. Sweet fruity aroma. Lots of notes I can’t put my finger on.l raisons, spices, orange peel. Flavor is not quite so complex, a bit sour and thin. Slightly swet woody and very little hop bitterness. Moderate feel. Low carbonation. Interesting.

This one came to me from a friend who had been staying out west for a little while. Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured a rich ruby-caramel color with a very large tan head. The aroma was a nice mix of fruity citrus and grapefruit. The flavor was tangy caramel, vague fruity and hints of nut, brown sugar and roasty malts. Slightly yeasty underneath. a bit chewy and syrupy. The finish was tangy and nutty. Decent.

Pours a transparent copper orange with a wispy-lacing off-white head. Aroma of sweet malted wheat and some oxidized papery notes with a hint of fruity banana esters. Body starts fairly full and sweet with some bready notes and fruity balance before a drier toasty finish. An ok weizenbock but needs more authenticity and complexity.
