On tap at Gandy Dancer in Ann Arbor. Pours dark, deep amber color. Nice deep white head, lasts throughout. Wonder sweet malt flavor throughout. Nice spice taste to oppose the sweetness. Full bodied finish.

Dark copper color with a good sized beige head. Aroma is of toffee, caramel, malt, and spices. Taste is of malts, spices and toffee.

12 oz bottle; very sweet from the aroma to the flavor. Knew it was a weizenbock the second I smelled it as I was pouring into a glass. The malted wheat is almost overwhelming. Unfortunately, the finish is a bit watery... or maybe that’s because I drank the cream stout before this...

Bottle from Systembolaget. Prety much what you expect from a medium bodied dark lager.

On draft at a bowling alley tonight. Dark copper color with thin off-white head. Aroma of toffee, malt, and spices. Taste of roasted malt, slight hops, and toffee. Moderately carbonated and smooth. Pretty good for what’s basically a macro!

Pretty nice beer here. Toffeeish flavor, and the wheat adds an interesting tang to it. Didn’t have much carbonation to it, though.

Very flavorful; great winter beer. I love the cinnamon and other spices they use to flavor this beer.

Bottle. Pours a deep copper with a nice two finger off-white head. Not much for aroma just some spiciness. Slightly bitter taste. Flavorful and malty. Medium and creamy body. Very smooth and very drinkable although this is my least favorite Sam Seasonal.
