| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 8, 2006 Bottle from Super Saver. Pours deep coppery rubish with 2-finger khaki head. Great look. The aroma is of fermenting figs, brown sugar, hops, caramel malt. The taste is caramel malty, with notes of brown sugar, cinnamon, hops, and slight rauch. Very crisp and clean, but the complexity falls off as it warms. This went great with buttered corn-on-the-cob smothered in spray butter and Old Bay! ChristianScheffel (4632), Odense, Denmark

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 16, 2002 Updated: Aug 4, 2007Bottle (production number 1165). Head is initially large, frothy, light brown, mostly lasting. Body is hazy medium orange-brown, bottle conditioned. Aroma is moderately malty (toasted bread, caramel, nuts), lightly hoppy (flowers), with notes of brown sugar and overripe banana. Flavor is moderately to heavily sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, lightly to moderately bitter. Medium to full body, creamy/syrupy texture, lively carbonation, lightly alcoholic. Never been a big fan of this, probably the only Weihenstephaner beer I’d say that about. Kinda syrupy/sticky, dull.
