4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
App: The beer is a dark, but still clear enough to see a light shine through it. A two-finger thick creamy head sits on top.
Ar: Sweet malt notes are present in the smell with fruit lingering as well.
T: Light spices with some clove in the taste. Some malt taste emerges after some time.
P: Medium to almost light, particularly for a beer of this darker appearance.
The large glass and high ABV might discourage several orders, but the taste and texture will not. The name is a mouthful and a mouthful of this drink is delightful. Delicious.

Tap at the brewery. Very dark brown appearance with a light brown head. Dark sweet wheat nose. Pretty creamy mouthfeel. Tastes a lot like a German Hefeweizen but slightly darker. Wheat body that’s a little thin.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draught. Head is mostly diminishing. Body is medium brown. Aroma is moderately malty (cookie, caramel, toasted grain), with notes of banana, allspice, clove. Flavor is moderately to heavily sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, moderately bitter. Medium body, watery/syrupy texture, lively carbonation, lightly alcoholic. Not bad for Coopersmith. A bit too syrupy sweet for the style, but decent enough, and a pleasant aroma.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Thin head, light clear brown color. Small nutty aroma. Taste is very smooth, well lagered. Well hopped, with nice touches of pale malt and hints of roast and chocolate in the finish. Mild bitterness. Doesn’t taste like 7.8%. Solid.

The DDWB poured a dark brown with red highlights. It had a huge creamy off-white head that had nice retention and lacing. It's aroma was of crisp, piney hops with some citrus. It had a very unique taste that I found hard to describe. It was a piney malt up front with a crisp, lightly hopped finish. It was a full and creamy beer that was very drinkable.
