UPDATED: FEB 18, 2004 This most special of beers is consumed with much gusto and is raised in honor of a most exceptional “Friend, and just one fine Gentleman, I speak of Loren Verkovod, and as we affectionately know him Venom”, and a “Happy Birthday to you old friend”!

The beer evacuates the bottle a caliginous orange color, and it’s absolutely filled both in suspension and on the bottom of the bottle with “Tons” of dross, the head is smallish in size, creamy in texture and the color a dazzling light tan, the lace forms a see-through curtain to conceal the glass. The nose absolutely reeks of yeast, fusel alcohol, sweet malt, coriander and maybe some over ripe fruits like over ripe plums, what a treat for this tired old nose, crisp, inviting, and a hint of the pleasures to come, start is ambrosial, thick with malted grain, the top fat and chunky in its feel to the palate, Finish is rapturous in its spiciness, the acidity palatable, the aftertaste dusty dry, almost vinous, and the ABV leaves a delightful tummy warming sensation, what a special beer this is, and one well worth waiting the four plus years to sample, as this “Beauty” was brewed in late 1999, “WOW” what a “Hoot”!

I loved this complex, full-flavoured weizenbock when I had it at the Chicago Real Ale Festival
