Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz bottle into a Weizen glass. The label has a nice description and a freshness date. Appearance: Deep rich crimson highlights flow through a deep amber body with a slight haze. This is topped by a light beige colored and tightly packed head. The tall stiff foam hangs on well and makes lots of slick lacing on the glass. Smell: There are deep sweet fruity and bready notes with notes of wheat, banana bread with walnuts and over-ripe banana peel. Taste/Palate: The flavor matches the nose with a light dusting Dutch cocoa, fruity banana, dried apricots and a mild touch of hop spice. It also has a sweet and mellow abv warmth. The full body has a smooth creamy texture with plenty of soft carbonation. Notes: Outstanding!!!

Thanks to djrn for sending me this bottle. The beer pours a hazy brown color with a white head. The aroma is full of caramel malt with quite a bit of clove and banana mixed in. The flavor has some additional notes. I get a lot of caramel and toffee, as well as some cloves, pepper and spices. There is also a little bit of banana as well as some alcohol. Medium, full mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

(Bottle from Tully’s) Dark amber, very tall off-white head. Aroma of fruit, spice, caramel, booze and yeast. Nice, wheaty-smooth, full palate. Flavor matches the aroma. Pleasant, with just enough booziness and wheat.

12 ounce bottle into weizen glass, best by 9/2/2012. Pours very cloudy reddish orange color with a nice 2-3 finger fairly dense off white head with great retention that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Some nice spotty lacing on the glass, with plenty of carbonation streaming up. Aromas of big caramel, banana, clove, pepper, molasses, orange peel, toasted biscuit, raisin, prune, and yeast spices. Great aromas here with good complexity, balance, and strength. Taste of big caramel, banana, molasses, toasted biscuit, clove, prune, raisin, pepper, citrus peel, and yeast spices. Lingering notes of dark fruit, banana, clove, biscuit, and molasses on the finish for a good bit. Fantastic flavor balance and complexity. Medium carbonation and body; with a creamy and slightly slick mouthfeel. Dangerously easy to drink for 8.7%. Alcohol is extremely well hidden, with only a slight warming after the finish. Overall this is a highly excellent weizenbock. Great flavor balance and complexity; and super smooth to drink.

Bottle: Pours dark amber with a small white head. Very sweet aroma, with hint of bananas. Taste like aroma and a little fizzy. Good.

Pours a dark amber with a thin medium white head. The aroma is fruity and spicy with some notes of banana and clove. The taste is spicy, malty, and yeasty with earthy hop bitterness and a spicy dry finish. This is a good Weizen Bock.

Bottle, pours hazy date w/ very slight head, ligtht dry fruit & bread aroma, rich candy malt flavor, full and chewy, juicy, awesome

Bottle pour into pint glass, hazy amber hue with medium froth setting stage for bananas fosterish whiff on a warm, doughy backbone. Mildly heavy sweet but not cloying, with help from fizzy zing all the way to finish. Nice all around brew.

aroma, fruity, liccorice, some yeast as well, color, medium hue a little cloudy, white head, taste, sweet fruityness on the fruit opens to a rich mallty dark fruit essences, overall, good stable, a treat anytime of the year. would be neat to age a bottle?

Bottle aroma of banana, toasting over a bed of wheat. Nice yeast notes and a lingering finish.

My 100th rating! Bottle. This beer helped me to realize that I much prefer a weizen bock to a hefeweizen. A musty spice aroma hit first, but the scent melted into more of a sweet molasses, dough aroma. The appearance was a cloudy dark amber with a little frothy head that faded into a white ring with stay power. The palate was medium bodied fizzer, light to the tongue with that fizzy finish. The complex taste started off with wheat grain notes that melded into that bock molasses and dough finish. Delicious!
