May 10, 2008 Pours a transparent dark bronze copper with a lightly-lacing light tan head. Aroma of sweet dark caramel and malted wheat with an authentic estery clove and banana character with German yeastiness. Starts fairly full with the right amount of carbonation and malty sweetness with some peppery clove spice and bready yeasty flavor before the slightly drier, crisp finish. Very true to style and enjoyable.

Apr 10, 2008 Bottle: Thick muddy brown pour, very little head or lacing. Nose of clove and strong yeast esters, some bread and rye stuff going on as well. The flavor is sharp with esters, a dark banana fig sweetness coats the palate. Light hops, subtle roasty toasty notes. A bit low in carbonation for this much sugar and alcohol, it’s a bit hard to drink. Unbalanced almost. I like the intensity, but there must be a better way to bring cohesion to this chaos.

Apr 18, 2008 Good pour, a cloudy brown body with a thick light beige head. Very good weizenbock aroma filled with ripe-ripe bananas, clove, soft malts, brown sugar, a few raisins, and warm peppery spices. Back to a "regular" good on the flavor, a sharp jab of alcohol being somewhat of a distraction on the otherwise smooth blending of all elements from the nose. Pleasant fruity finish. All in all, a dandy job by Rodney Kibzey. <font size=-4> Pat’s Liquors, Porter, IN<font size=-1>
