General Lafayette Weizen-heimer Bock

Wheaty aroma (duh), molasses, slight banana. Sweet but papery taste. Bit glue-ey. Kinda flat. Some mild spice in there somehwere, likely cloves. Finishes clean but not in the least bit exciting.

Sampled at the Philadelphia gathering, July 10. Opaque dark copper..caramel, smoke and a bit of wet dark wood, banana in the nose. Thick, quite a bit of noticeable alcohol, whiskey-vanilla-banana...rather sour, spicy finish. Good, but just a middle-of-the-road weizenbock.

Hazy deep amber color, slight lacing around the glass, malt nose, little notes of banana & clove in the flavors along with a slight hint of caramel, spicy & dry finish with a little presence of the alcohol, nice & smooth, a good hefe-bock

Vintage 2004... Poured an amber color with an off white head and light lacing on the glass. Sweet aroma of roast, caramel and clove. Taste of chocolate, clove, sour grapes, cherries, wood, and caramel and finally finishing spicy and very alcoholic. A year old is much better than a fresh sample.

On tap at brewpub. Nice beer. Dark in color with a nice lasting head. Malty and sweet. Well balanced. Banana and clove. Noticeable alcohol burn. Full body.

Opaque muddy brown with tan head. Aroma is medium sweet, clove, wheat, light banana. Taste is medium sweet, clove, light banana, noticeable alcohol. Medium-full body.

Very cloudy dark amber color. Non-descript light smell. Plenty of carbination in palate with a nice medium body feel in my mouth. This is a sweet tasting good bock. Although not my favorite style, it is one of the bet bocks i've ever tasted.
