| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 24, 2007 12 oz. bottle harkens back to a good old aventinus. Aroma is decidedly brown sugar with a hint of banana, but could be stronger. Pours with almost no head Nice deep caramel color. Feels wet around mouth with lots of carbonation and medium-full body. Just a little abrasive on throat. Tastes of banana more than anything but with brown sugar and caramel. Almost like a mild bananas foster wthout the butter.

This is a unique brew...a blend of a bock and its characteristic sweetness with the banana clovey taste of a wheat. I liked it. Poured golden brown (like apple cider) with HUGE head that took forever to go down. Beauty beer. The taste was well balanced and unique...very sweet. I’ll go back to this one. A Victory for your taste, indeed! Illini08 (528), Raleigh, North Carolina, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 3, 2007 Bottle picked up in Plainfield, IL. Shared with Duane. If my memory serves me well, I think I discovered (after I bought it of course) that this bottle was about 3 years old. Slightly fruity aroma. Kind of tasted like a bock, but there was something off about it. Probably because the bottle was so old. I’d like to try this fresh and rerate. kp (8500), Woodstock, Georgia, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Aug 26, 2007 Excellent. Cloudy brown with a foamy off white head. Little aroma but excellent taste. Caramel wheat taste with hidden alcohol. I am not much on wheats but I would definitely drink this more. bobaidan (367), Farmington, Connecticut, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 25, 2007 Pours murky brown with a small head. Aroma is caramel, yeast and a hint of citrus. Mouth feel is thick with little carbonation. Flavor is sweet but not cloying. Nice roast and yeast flavors mix perfectly with the sweetness. Alcohol is nowhere to be found, which is surprising considering the abv. Finish is all malt. Yummy Pwn3d (1088), Manhattan, New York, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 5/5 | 10/20 | Aug 16, 2007 12 oz bottle. Poured a dark brown body with barely any head. Taste was full of some sort of fruit - perhaps prunes, raisons or plums...regardless the beer was smooth and easy to drink even with the 8.7% abv.
