Bottle shared with Jerc, Hogtown Harry, Blankboy, and Mabel, courtesy of Jerc and Mabel. Hazy golden brown, small white head. Sour fruity aroma. Ok taste - musty fruitiness, some hops. Odd lingering sourness. Maybe a bad bottle or a weird attempt I guess, will seek out again.

Jul 26, 2008 Caged and corked bottle. Dark pour with a small head. Served in a new Sam Adams glass. Aroma and taste of some sweet roasted malt with a little hops thrown in for balance. Nothing exceptional but not bad either.

Jun 20, 2008 Poured from a 750ml caged & corked bottle and served in a weizen glass. This beer poured a clear, mahogany brown with a thin head of bubbly tan foam. Decent retention...not much lace. The aroma of the beer was made up of dates, dark fruits, fruity bananna esthers, toasted caramel, and also a bit of alcohol. The flavor included sweet fermented fruits, toasted wheat and caramel, and some light alcohol warmth. The flavor was somewhat dominated by this strange, fruity, vinous note. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied with mild carbonation. I was expecting a weizen bock when I opened this, but what was inside the bottle was way off base. I’m all for experimentation, but this was just a bit weird.

May 21, 2008 750 ml bottle - Pours a brown color with a 3/4 finger thick off white head. Light spotty lacing. Aroma is mostly esters. Flavor is esters, a touch of malt, and vinious. Light to medium body. A decent beer.

Apr 26, 2008 Corked and caged 750 - $4 off and on sale for $6.99! A little bit of age on this sucker and it’s mellowed and supremely fun. Sweet muddled smell of alcohol and sugar, seeming Belgian yeast notes (though I know it’s not right) and mashed-up fruit components (a little hard to separate grape from berry and whatever else there may be). In for a malt bomb, I think. Pours a dark, rich, pretty amber red, with a rocky, dense, spoonable beige head (gorgeous!). A nice sour vomit touch in the taste, dense fruity malt and a light undercurrent of yeast, but not much. This really has little in common with other Weizenböcke, but that’s not a bad thing – has some Sour and even slightly geuezeesque (did I get enough E’s in there?) notes. Cherries play a supporting role and are absolutely delicious. Dry, sour aftertaste, but not puckering, just gentle and smooth. Light-medium body and smooth, no carbonation. Tastes like something out of Flanders (somewhere between Red and Brown), and that’s a great thing in my book. Flawed technically, but an extremely enjoyable drinking experience, and I easily drained the champagne bottle by myself.
