| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 6, 2009 Growler from Superstar Beverage - deep dark amber BdG, with a frothy, lasting head - the aroma has some bubblegum and clove phenols, as well as chocolate, cherries, light wheat, mild tartness, cardamom, and spicy/peppery character - the flavor floats somewhere in between weizenbock and dark, spiced BdG - the flavor is a bit tart and wheaty up front, with some clove and other wheat beer-like character - after this, a complex and warming mixture of dry spices (cardamom, nutmeg, etc.) - a touch of sweetness arrives late, with flavors of chocolate and fruity character along with it - finish remains spiced, and adds a kick of white pepper - I didn’t think I would be impressed by this beer, but I am. bu11zeye (5608), Frisco, Texas, USA
