Triple 7 Dunkel Weizenbock

2008 GABF. Mostly clear amber brown. Grainy with hint of alcohol. Touch of fruitiness. Quite Nice.

Draft at brewpub. Amber in color. Spiced yeasty flavors. Good smooth flavors. Nice refreshing weizenbock.

Draft at brewery on the way up to GABF. Pretty dark, with a really big head. Aromas of banana. Flavors of banana and maltiness and some wheat. Sopme alcohol on the finish. Pretty tasty.

20 oct 07, Draft at Brewpub. Seasonal Beer. Full Pint. Very dark brown/black. Off white head. Super sweet aroma. Nuts, bananas, malts, candi sugar, BUBBLEGUM!!! Flavors of bananas, sweet cane sugar. Very light bitterness. Very chewy with a sticky glass feel. Heavy bodied. Heavy alcohol.

Half-pint sampler tray, current seasonal "strong beer" selection (that is what the sign says). Cloudy dark brown with an almond coloured head generating fine lace. Big aromas of banana and brown sugar, some bubblegum even. Rich brown sugar/caramel and banana flavour, faintly spicey, sweet but not cloying, very smooth with a warming alcoholic finish. I was very happily surprised-- this was excellent!

Bonus sample. Big head on a very dark brown beer. Strong banana aroma that always seems surprising from a beer this dark. Chocolate scents as well. Great body. Chocolate and banana with some rubbery notes or texture. Some coffee in the finish.

On tap at Triple 7, poured a brownish color with burgundy edges, off-colored tannish-light brown head. Lacing was excellent. Aroma was nice bananas and yeast, some clovey spices after some warming. The flavor was caramel, bananas, molasses, gentle roast (some ash aspects with higher temperatures), only light spicing (cloves faint even w/ higher temperature). Weak on phenolic / spice character, otherwise a very nice weizenbock, one that surely exceeded my expectations. Mouthfeel was a little sticky, full, appropriate for the style.
