4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a very dark brown, with a thin head that fades rapidly to a few small bubbles and thin ring, leaving behind only traces of lace.
Smell; lots of dark fruits such as grapes, plums and some mild hints of bananas. Licorice, chcocolate, caramel and some touches of coffee all come out as well.
Taste; the dark fruits are the first flavors to really jump out at me with the grapes and plums, with the bananas coming through a bit more than they did in the aroma. Caramel and chocolate malts add a nice sweetness, and the coffee adds just enough bitterness to offset the sweet. It takes a few minute for the Weiss flavors to show themselves, and on the first few sips I wasn’t sure that i really liked this all that much. But once I got used to it a bit, and let it warm up some, it definitely grew on me, and I found myself wanting more.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied and on the slick side, with very low carbonation. Drinkability is pretty high, especially since the alcohol barely makes its presence known, aside from some warming as you drink this.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Its a red mahogany color and the head is huge, golden and creamy. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel and a little fruit. The flavour is sweet, for a moment I find it very sweet, fruity, spicy and it has notes of roasted malt, licorice and the finish is long and lightly bitter. I kind of like this one, but then again it is a bit dominating in the overall impression and it should be more wheaty. 1722
