Commercial Description:
Rich creamy head with bouquet of wheat malt, black current, clove, and apple. Deep full flavors of caramel and chocolate malt balance with hops for a smooth warming character. The finish is smooth and malty leading to a subtle alcohol and dark caramel finish.

No trip to NJ is complete without a Ramstein brew. Dark almost cola-like appearance, very minimal head. Aroma is very spicy, with the cloves very evident. Taste was sweet but not too overpowering. Palate was very smooth. Overall this is a very drinkable beer and I was very impressed.

Pours extremely dark, inky purple to virtually black in color. A fizzy tan head disappears rapidly and leaves absolutely no lacing behind. Dark, fruity aromas of fig, raison, and plum dominate the nose, with sugar glazed banana bread and cinnamon adding further richness. Flavors again show alot of dark fruit, though things turn a bit more sour and tannic, almost vinous on certain spots of the tongue. The back-and-forth play between sweet and sour is interesting, with sweet, dark fruits and caramel dominating the foreground, only to be overtaken and surpassed by sour grape and fermented figs in the aft. Medium-plus bodied and lively carbonated, this brew finishes on the dry side. Overall, a decent example of the style, but I tend to dig a fuller, bolder, less sour Weizen Bock.

4/07 tasting. Aroma of brown sugar, banana nutbread, and spice. Flavor is banana nutbread, spice, and nutty. Nice mouthfeel.

Bottle (12oz) shared with HogTownHarry & tupalev -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a very dark brown with an average size diminishing tan head. Aroma of toasted malt, coffee, chocolate, dark fruit, yeast, some sweetness and more -- very nice! Flavour’s sweet and roasty along with dark fruit, spices and chocolate. Bitter coffee finish. Creamy/oily mouthfeel. Alcohol’s pretty well hidden. Very well done and another awesome beer tonight!

Definitely one of the better wheat beers I’ve had. Probably the darkest wheat I’ve ever poured, nice dark opaque mahogany brown. Wispy head. Think of a typical wheat with cloves and banana but with additional dark fruit such as prunes. Palate is perfect - nice and fully bodied, not watered down like a lot of wheat brews you’ve probably had. Overall a very good wheat brew with a very good punch. Be careful with this one! it’s easy to drink but has a high ABV.
