GCBF sample. Very dark brown. Good starting head sinks quickly. Dusty chocolate aroma. Tasty dusty chocolate with banana undertones.

Poured a deep dark mahogany brown hue with a small foamy white head. Sweet malty, nutty nose with a warming full-bodied refreshing sweet and crisp flavor. Notes of wheat, chocolate, and lemon. Unique and interesting brew. Yum!
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle. Head is initially small, frothy, off-white, mostly diminishing. Body is dark brown. Aroma is lightly to moderately malty (popcorn, caramel, husks), with light notes of gum and clove. Flavor is moderately to heavily sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, lightly to moderately bitter, unclean. Medium body, watery texture, lively/soft carbonation. Quite crude and rather unpleasant.
1.7 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Has a bad sour aroma. Flavor is also soure with a bad metallic bite. A thin finish leaves this beer truly disappointing.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Very dark ruby when held to light with a nice looking light tan head. Aroma is very heavy wheat, chocolate, light roastiness. Taste is a light chocolate, with wheat, and very light grapefruit. Pretty bland for a 8.5% beer, but the 8.5% doesn’t show at all, so come to your own conclusion... Mouthfeel is pretty nice though.

Bottle shared by thesti at the csbosox tasting on 7/3. Pours a hazy, root beer brown with a tiny off-white head. Banana, cloves, chocolate and raisins are on the nose, and the mouthfeel is light to medium-bodied, slick and clean on the finish. The flavor is comprised of sweet wheat, citrus and banana with a touch of sourness. Had the flavor matched the nose, this would have been a great beer. Unfortunately it didn’t, but it was an interesting beer nevertheless. Thanks for bringing this one Tim.

Enjoyed at the csbosox tasting 7/3. 22 oz bottle from Bottleworks in Seattle. Pour is a partially hazy brown orange with almost no head (khaki, what there was of it). Aroma is sweet and banana-caramel malt. Taste is more of the caramel - chocolate sweetness but there is something metallic in the taste as well. Very drinkable, but something just a touch off.

22 ounce bottle provided by theisti
The beer pours with shades fo brown, red, and purple. Not much head to speak of. The aroma and flavor featured banana, clove, raisin, chocolate, and some hot alcohol. Sort of a watery fizzy body. Not bad, but not on par with the handfull of other weizen bocks that I’ve had.
