Commercial Description:
A light-coloured, spicy single-bock wheat beer, for both beer lovers and the beer connoisseur. Extra long and cold storage in our monastery cellars makes this single-bock a really special beer with full body and a distinctively great mouthfeel. Prost!

Very cloudy, dark golden-yellow body with a lush, frothy white head. The aroma is filled with honey and wheat - slightly sweet in the aroma, but quite spicy. The spiciness comes out in the flavor. It’s well-balanced: mild sweetness paired with just enough citrus acidity from orange peel. Very good.

Bottle: Pours a hazy golden with a initially large white head, that eventually fades to a film. Aroma is sweet of ripe banana, dough, spicy esters like clove and more yeasty notes. The body is fairly creamy with an apparent peppery alcohol feel. The flavor is initially sweet with notes of honey sweet dough, and yeasty phenols of banana. There’s also a peppery alcohol note that leads to a dry yeasty finish. The drier yeast finish balances the early sweetness. A decent example of the style.

Pours with a huge white head covering a hazy yellow body that I find too light in color for the style. Aroma is deep malts, banana, raisins, and clove. Taste is a bit metallic, very yeasty with dark fruits, clove and vanilla. Creamy with light bubbles.

Bottle. Pours cloudy yellow with hints of amber. Thick, long lasting, white head. Spicy fruit aroma. Body is pleasingly full with spicy fruit tastes. No hint of the 7.7% abv. Great.

...bottle from Cloudwine. On the nose, this tickles the sences with some vanilla, hay, wheat, and a hint of lemon. Color is cloudy yellowish\orange, light for a weizenbock, with a decent white head. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, lively carbonation, with tangy lemon, wheat malt, vanilla, bread and maybe a touch of clove, but not much. Seemed to have less clove and orange than the original hefe, but was still a good brew. Finished creamy, doughy with only a slight taste of alcohol. I thought it would be better, but was still great, and worth trying.
