22oz bottle purchased from Downtown Liquors in Cambridge MA. Pours brown, just barely clear. This doesn’t seem to be bottle conditioned, which is too bad. It has the nice wheaty, yeasty, banana aroma of a weizen, but it’s a bit on the weak side. Flavour is decent - similar to the nose. Fits the style well, and it’s a good beer, but I don’t feel it does any aspects better than an Aventinus.

Pours dark brown with almost no head. Aroma of malt, banana, and spices. Flavor is sweet.

2008 Flour City Brewfest. I really enjoyed this one. Aroma is sweet with a light smoke and some mild spices. Taste is sweet, sugary and also some spices. Very enjoyable and easy to drink. Well balanced and well made.

Pours a reddish orange color with a thin white head. The aroma has bananas and sweetness. Flavor of bananas, sweetness and some wheat. The body is light to medium with an oily texture and gentle carbonation. This is true to the 100 Barrel Series, which is not a compliment.

From bottle. Raw wort with light caramel. Bit of vanilla and some light fruity hops. Touch of oaky character. Radiant golden amber, dark with thin off-white lacing head. Medium heavy watery body with medium carbonation. Smooth with alcohol warming. Starts sweet with smooth raisin, oak, and vanilla. Warming plum and brown sugar. Light neutral bitterness at the finish with smooth after. Nice quaff but not what I’d call a typical Weizenbock.

Courtesy of Nate. Pours a dark copper red color with a small white fizzy head. The aroma has some notes of vanilla, oak, alcohol, some prunes, raisins, and heavy cream. A little hot, but has some good woody vanilla flavors. Dark fruit like currants, a little golden raisin, and fruity alcohol. A pretty oily texture. Very little carbonation in this one, but the nice body of the beer keeps it from being too watery.
