3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
22oz - Aroma of chewy fresh malts, molasses and hops. Pours ruby red with a big fluffy head and great lacing. Flavor is much stronger than the aroma. First molasses, toffee, and black licorice. Then alcohol. Finished by toasted malts and the lingering remains of the "first" flavors. Palate is snappy, sticky and a bit hot. Interesting and tasty. I think I should set one in the cellar to mellow the hotness.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
22oz. Bottle: Aroma is sweet and very malty with quite strong notes of roasted malt, as well as alcohol. Yeast scent as well. Poured dark brown. Opaque. Medium tan head lasted and produced a great lacing. Flavor is very complex. Head is creamy and mixes with the malty body to produce a sweet mixture. Heavily sweet, and mildly bitter. Flavors of wheat bread, roast, and alcohol. Medium to full body. Thick, viscous texture. Lively carbonation. Long, sweet finish. Overall, a good, strong brew.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle shared with HogTownHarry, mds & tupalev -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a very murky dark reddish-brown with an average size mostly-lasting creamy off-white head. Aroma of dark malt, dark fruit, chocolate, brown sugar, spices -- it’s a little lactic too -- pretty nice. Wow, flavour’s even better! Chocolatey along with caramel malt, yeast, brown sugar, some hops and a sweet finish. Alcohol’s well hidden. Nice thick body. The reviews for this are all over the place, good for Avery for trying something different and unique -- as for me, I really liked it.

Nice dark amber color,small tan head that had a good hang time then faded to leave a little behind.The aroma was malty with a nice roasty side some dried fruit maybe and a bit of chocolate possibly.The flavor was very nice with a nice roasty malty taste mildly sweet in the beginning with a good mild fruit and caramel taste coming on as well as a nice roasty side in the middle.The alcohol manages to stay pretty well hidden with just a hint in the tail end.Very nicely done brew and well worth having a few more which i’m glad i do.

3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
A hazy deep red beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet and very malty with quite strong notes of roasted malt, as well as lighter notes of rye bread and alcohol. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and caramel, as well as lighter notes of spices and roasted sausages - I have no idea what gives me that last impression. The end brings a slight alcohol burn in the throat. Tasted this blind and found no traces of the wheat - closer to a standard doppelbock than a weizenbock. All in all I’m not that fond of this beer.
