Feb 2, 2008 The banana/clove aroma and flavor is very evident and lasts throughout. No head. Malty and sweet on the tongue. Active bubbles. A very satisfying Weizenbock thanks to the use of authentic German hefeweizen yeast. An absolutely delicious beer. Like candy!

Feb 4, 2008 I noticed that both my rating and the one that kp placed were both a bit high so maybe we both got bottles from a good case at Green’s in Atlanta.
Pours a deep garnet with a thin white head.
Caramel, banana and alcohol in the aroma.
Big malty sweetness follows the banana flavors.
Nicely done.

Feb 21, 2008 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.

Jan 28, 2008 Bottle 08’, Poured a aruba red with a quick dissapearing head. Aroma of sweet malt/banana. The alcohol is on the scotch side. Good mouthfeel and a decent carbonation. Would drink again, if avalible, #20

clear ruby red, wiapy beige head disappears to leave a sparking glass of clear red delight,
huge sweet banana and chocolate aroma, touch of alcohol melds well into the sweetness,
creamy body,
rich malt flavor, lots of sweet banana combined with dark caramel, nice chocolate character is well in balance with the banana and caramel, only a hint of balancing clove,
