Super beer for the winter, or anytime you want a good beer. This one mixes spices and toffee perfectly. It pours a medium brown with a medium head. It smells good, looks good, and tastes great. The finish is as good as the start. Highly recommended.

This is an excellent winter beer. A dark bock with plenty of spices, malt, and toffee flavor. At the top of the list for seasonal brews.

I’m a huge fan of Sam’s Lager and also their stronger specialty offerings. The multitudes of other beers they offer don’t excite me all that much This is one of those others.

A dark wheat Bock beer. This lager is smooth with plenty of carbination and medium texture. A slight taste of spices, orange and lemon peel, dried plum, coriander, hibiscus, rose hips, tamarind, and vanilla. A nice malty flavor from malted wheat and malted barley. A delight to drink from top to bottom.

Certainly one of the better winter beers on the market these days. It has a nice complex taste with a good balance of spices. A robust yet drinkable beer that helps take the bite out of another harsh Northeast winter.

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...
