4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/2022oz bottle into an Andechs weizen glass.
Pours with a tawny, amber-cola body that sports a healthy dose of carbonation. Attractive head sits as a crown of khaki bubbles up top, retaining well and leaving a few patches of lace behind. Creamy weizenbock- like aroma with vanilla and German yeast esters of bubblegum and banana.
Very flavorful beer, with floral hops and a big malt presence that coats the palate with wheat-y vanilla, banana, and clove. Alcohol lurks in the background, adding a spicy semi-heat to the finish. Mouthfeel is hefty, but not overbearing to the tongue. Smooth carbonation makes for a smoother finish. One of New Belgium’s better LoF releases, and a great hybridization of the Weizenbock/Dunkelweizen style

Bomber. Not much aroma from this style or how dark it poured. Really malt heavy and sour.

Has an funky, non-offensive, unidentifiable smell. Tastes like your basic coffee chocolate stout. Gets better with each drink. Has a dark chocolate aftertaste.

The aroma is fantastic with strong flavors. The taste is an assortment of dark fruit with prunes. Also has a bit of smokey wood, slight toffee. A beer for the true beer drinker

The aroma is lightly toasted malt, chocolate, and sour fruit. The appearance is brown with a medium head. The taste is somewhat like the aroma with a slight sourness. The palate is smooth. Overall this is not that great.

Poured black browned with fluffy tan head. Tastes of roasted nuts and wheat. Nice malty character with the perfect amount of hops will buy again.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Brown with a healthy, lasting ran head. Aroma is caramelized/candied banana. Flavor is more complex and features clove, apple pumpkin spice bread, banana, and a complexity we couldn’t put our finger on, but was attributed to pepper by a companion. I don’t actually see pepper listed in the description though. Either way, this is a masterfully brewed beer, by far the best in the style that I’ve had. A delightfully chewy flavor that only gets better in the aftertaste.

Bottle. Pours a dark amber with a small head. Not a lot to this - very malty, but not much else to it. Meh.
