Draft at the brewpub. Dark and muddy. Super sweet for the style. There’s a definite banana front, super assertive in the aroma, but the beer drinks with a super sweet aspect that nearly ruins it at first. My initial thought was "banana soda.". But once again the beer gained favor as it warmed and settled, a little bit anyway. (#4479, 2/15/2012)

slightly hazy dark amber, thin tan head, incredable rich sweet fruity malt aroma, rich malt flavor, lots of carmel sweetness, chocolate and bananas out the wazoo, a touch of ripe fruit, only a hint of bitterness in the finish, a bit of alcohol almost comes through but is quickly displaced by the banana, a new favorite?

-------- /> The score was calculated based upon the notes and an old scoring system.

darker orange-brown color with a thin head. It intially tastes like the sweet malts of a dopplebock then blends into typical weizen flavor. Quite a nice tasting beer.

Well this is pretty nice at the start, good notes of spiciness show immediately. Not real wheaty until you near the end and not heavy either. Just a fairly decent brew.

7th Annual Strong Beer Festival, Mesa, Az. Brown body with tan head. Aroma was sweet red licorice. Candy flavor along with some bitterness. Slight bitter left on palate but palate was pretty much fubar by this one. Decent brew.

On tap at the Draft House. Pours a murky brown/copper color, white a thin whisp of off white head. Fruity aroma, someone described it as similar to Juicy Fruit gum, I got mostly banana, yeast and some cloves. Taste is nice and sweet, some more banana and some other fruit and some bread. Goes down silky and smooth. Medium body. Overall pretty good. I would go back for this.

Muddy orange-raped brown color with a simplistic halo of off-whiteness..a dose of funky & chunky yeast infested oatmeal..You know, that typical weizenbock stench. Smooth spiced-up yeasty flavors with that grimey, wheaty weizenbock character..some grapey notes riding the backroads...Excellent weizenbock...Perfectly funky, yeasty, and wheaty.

This beer poured a deep browns and oranges w/ gold highlights. Banana and clove w/ slight citrus notes. Hints of oak and grapefruit in the mouth. Minor effervescence w/ a tangy edge.

This weizen bock pours with a muddy orange-amber body topped by a medium thick head with some lacing. The aroma is simply great. It’s sweet with nice banana notes, good clove notes and a nice yeastiness. The flavor is slightly sweet yet slightly sour with clove notes, a touch of banana, nice yesty notes and a little bitterness. Medium to full bodied, warming and slightly dry.

Tasted at the 2004 Pizza Port Strong Ale Fest. Medium gold color, very cloudy. Medium sized head. Aroma is malty, fruity and sweet. A medium bodied Weizenbock. Malts are fruity and sweet. Lots of banana and clove flavor. Nicely balanced. A medium sweet weizenbock. Smooth taste. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is sweet.
