Commercial Description:
This ale is a traditional German Weizenbock (or wheat beer brewed to bock-like strength). It has a complex spiciness from the yeast and a complex malt character from a grist of 50% Munich Malt and 50% malted wheat. It also has a mild alcohol kick. In Germany, the "Absacker" is the last drink at the bar, but you never know which Absacker will actually be the last one! 25IBU

My Bottom Line:
This portly Weizenbock showcases banana esters, clovey phenols and round caramel dextrins for hefty moments of sipping.

Further Personal Perceptions:
-A ring of foam crowns the cloudy red brown.
-This is richer than Aventinus, but also less carbonated, which lessens drinkability.
-Alcohol peeks in the end, as do mild wooden hops.
-A bit more attenuation would help, methinks.

On tap at the brewpub.

on tap-pours a light tan head and hazy amber/copper color and cloudy orange/brown on second pint I had. Aroma is sweet medium malt-toffee/hint of chocolate, musty, earthy. Taste is sweet medium malt-toffee/hint of chocolate, musty, earthy/spice hops. Some alcohol.
