| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 31, 2008 [Bottle] Pours a cloudy copper color with a large, dense white head. Aroma of banana, bubblegum, spices and light wheat malt. Taste is rather spicy... with citrus, nutmeg and maybe some cinnamon or clove. It also tastes like generous amounts of wheat malt was used, which made for a great palate. Alcohol is well hidden. A very good beer. Rciesla (3790), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 28, 2008 Bottle. Pours a mahogany body with a 3 finger off white head. Fruity nose with coriander and banana. A light spicy pepper with clove and cinnamon. Fruity esters dominate the flavor with a tangy spiciness to finish. Good brew. cbeers21 (583), Miami, Florida, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Dec 25, 2008 NIce deep beautiful pour. One of my favorite styles so I am esy to please. Head aroma, clove banana spice and a mix of americanized hop twang to balance. Balanced, sparkling mouth quality with a varied spectrum of flavors. Focus is mainly drawn towards the clovy vanilla banana flavor, but there are also hidden and more complex flavors of fruit, spice and citrus woven into the texture of the brew. Overall very nice!

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 19, 2008 bottle from OSLO. Pours light brown with an off white head and plenty of particles floating around. Standard weizenbock aromas of banana, clove, light bubblegum, a hint of alcohol, cinnamon, tart wheat and apple skin. As this warms, a slightly musty note appears which seems a little off. The yeast pour produces a unique sharpness to the nose. The taste is very good with banana, vanilla, a spike of tart wheat right before the finish which settles to an excellent caramel or toffee flavor at the end which lingers nicely. The carbonation was crisp, and the mouthfeel was medium. A solid weizenbock indeed. Thanks Al! branspra (232), Arlington, Virginia, USA

Aromas of citrus, grapefruit, and a bit of clove. Lively texture with a creamy start, slick finish. Taste of bananas, roasted malts, and a bit of grapefruit. Complex beer and very good. ratman197 (3256), Arvada, Colorado, USA

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Dec 9, 2008 Darker reddish brown on the top of the glass, moving to a softer orange amber on the bottom, never seen that before. Significant chunk in the glass and the head falls from three fingers to a thick sticky ring. Mildewy cardboard kind of dampens the dark wheat notes and i cannot pick up anything else. This dunkel has a punch and lacks clove or banana notes and is therefore simple which allows for the alcohol heat to finish uncontested. riversideAK (2779), Shoreline, Washington, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 30, 2008 Aroma of banana, clove, and some dark wheat malt and dark fruits. Pours a murky orange with some yeast sediment and no real head to speak of. Has flavors of strong banana and clove followed by wheat malt. Some other aspects of the beers were some tart citrus, dark fruits, chocolate, and apple. Bubbly carbonation and a tart mouth feel. Sweet and fruity.
