Commercial Description:
Our Weizenbock is a pale, golden color, and like a bottom-fermented bock, has a high starting gravity and high alcohol content. The smooth, malty sweetness of a Weizenbock is balanced with clove, honey and fruit-like flavors. A touch of honey is also perceivable in the nose to produce a unique and complex aroma. It has a medium to full body and mouthfeel. The wheat adds a subtle tartness, which makes for quite a quenching and refreshing beer.

Bottle supplied by Eyedrinkale. Things started off roughly with a broken cork but progressed very nicely after that. Copper amber color with a whitish head. Nice lacing. Sweet and malty aroma. Indeed bits of honey are detectable. Not a lot of the traditional wheat beer aromas. Medium bodied, smooth. Alcohol is seemingly a bit more than 8.6. A nice beer to sip on!!

GABF 2008, Dr. Bill’s tasting. Pours clear amber with a small, fizzy, off-white head, mostly lasting with good lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (bread, cookie, caramel), average hops (flowers, perfume), average yeast (dough) with notes of alcohol, banana, and dates. Medium bodied, sticky texture, lively carbonation, and an astringent finish. Average duration, moderate sweetness and acidity, light bitterness.

Sampled @ RBSG, courtesy hellomynameis. Cloudy light amber color, broken light white head. Wheat, caramel, subtle alcohol notes, apricot, light phenols. Smooth taste, defined wheat character, butterscotch, pepper, apricots. A hint of oxidation, but held up amazingly. Real fortunate to be able to try this.

750ml Bottle at RBSG shared by HelloMyNameIs; (my favorite style!!!) Man I wish I could have had this fresh! Nose of caramel, sweetness, and some pasty wheat with some oxidation; Murky orange with a small off-white head; flavor a little cardboardy with caramel, vanilla, and some toffee! Fresh it might be way up there!

75 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a lacing white head. Nice woody and malty dense aroma. Mild fruity and dense malty with a light wooden note. Lingering wooden and malty finish. Smooth, delicious and just lovely.

Huge surprise to taste this at RBSG. I didnt even know they bottled it! Pours a light orange color ,with a smallish off white head. Smells of sweet caramel malt, traces of some wheat, and creamy vanilla. Nice aroma. The flavor has some big butterscotch effects going on, mixed with some dark fruit, vanilla, and creamy malts. Real easy drinking and smooth on the palate. Just flows down the throat like a river. Absolutely thrilled I got to try this one.
