The aroma is heavy with a combination of molasses, raisins, dates, and roasted malts; also, the appearance is complex with the ruby brown color, the hazy quality, a small off-white head that dissipates to a ring, and the large grain sediment that lies heavily on the bottom of the glass. The taste is mildly sweet, slightly sour, and a touch umami, but the mouthfeel fuses a medium body, a thick yet slick texture, a long finish, and a soft carbonation.

Very dark red-brown (deep mahogany). Spicey raisin pie and cooked banana, chocolate, creamy mouthfeel. Absolutely excellent!

This beer looks very similar to the Schneider Aventinus at first blush, with its deep brown body and cap of white foam, but the aroma immediately disabuses one of that notion. Where the Aventinus has strong banana notes in its nose, this beer has a distinct grape bubblegum note. The palate is absolutely gorgeous, however, with its sweet creamy thickness. The burst of esthers that characterises the style fades more quickly than I might wish, but the finish is nothing to complain about. Overall, a very tasty beer.

On tap, was inebriated at the time, so that speaks to how god it taste, but I was unable to conitue after "one more", as good as the first one was. Another day I’ll start fresh with this one

Enjoyed this. Big frothy head that faded quickly. Nice aroma, with malted milk, lemon, and butter brickle wafting up. Started too cold (as I often do), but once it warmed got good malts with the expected lemony hints from the weiss. Noticeable spiciness akin to peppermint candy. Nicely creamy, really liked the way I could feel it coating my tongue and the back of my mouth after a swallow. Does need more malts, but the ones it has make for a very enjoyable brew.

On Cask @ Sunset Grill and Tap, Pours a dark muddy brown with a ton of sediment floating in the glass. You could go bass fishing; if you could fit a boat in the glass!! Good head with thick lacing. Aroma is really nice, plum, dark fruit, cloves, slight alcohol and prune. Flavor is very similar to aroma, has a light sour pucker in the finish. Dry, thin finish. Medium body, Overall a really good, very drinkable beer. Nice on cask! This beer was my favorite of the day.

Pours a dark clouded ruby that is almost opaque with a massive tan head. Nose is sweet and pungent with an almost wooded malt on there it seems. Flavor is thick and sweet with an almost berry like quality to it. Feel is almost a bit too tingly on the mouth from a sharp layer of carbonation. Definitely very drinkable. Worth trying. Goes down smooth and is very well made. I could go for these over and over again.

Really nice weiss bock. Not as big as the big’A’ but lots of the banana clove thing with a tasty chocolate mouthfeel

Very, very bubblegummy. Some lemon. Not as much dark malt flavor as Aventinus (or as good). Very creamy mouthfeel. Still a good beer.

(500 ml bottle from <A HREF=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/maine/portland/ target=blank>Downeast Beverage Co.) Excellent...Pours hazy dark reddish brown with a soft, sturdy khaki head. Rich aroma of chocolate, raisins, port and molasses - yum! Mouthfeel very soft, smooth, elegant. Flavor is just rich mounds of chocolate, port, raisins and molasses. Also features a lovely wheaty malt backbone and notes of red wine. I was quite blown away by the aroma, flavor and texture of this. My bottle says 8.5% ABV. Very mild, warming alcohol burn. Excellent. Best weizen bock I’ve had to date.
