Pours a dark red with two fingers of off-white head. Aroma is of wheat, vanilla, and caramel. Tastes like a wheat beer with a lot of spice to it- it has a full-body taste to it, yet at the same time its an easy session beer. Not bad, though.

Smells dark and wheaty, some yeast. Taste is thick dark malts followed by a nice wheat taste. Nice and dark wheat.

12 Fl Oz (US) bottle with an expiration date of Mar 08. The pour almost looks orange coming out of he bottle but it ends up being a handsome ruby-copper with a puffy tan head. The malts are noticeable in the aroma. Comfortable mouth feel. Oh yes, this is very smooth. A little touch of something fruity in the mix. A mild one with no aftertaste. Very enjoyable.

Bottle poured into pint glass. Clear copper/brown colour with a thin tan film on top. Aroma is light vanilla and caramel. Flavour is malt, spice and slight hop in the finish. Maybe simple but drinkable.

An all head amber pour. Has a blandly sweet aroma with cara-mel. Tastes of toffee, caramel. A desert beer.

Creamy, aroma of vanilla. Aroma almost more characteristic of a liqueur than a beer. Not very hoppy. Very rich, and a tiny bit sour. There’s more malt than anything else, and the malt is very complex. Doesn’t taste at all like a wheat beer. Doesn’t taste spicey either, which I like...it’s more fruity and has tones almost reminiscent of whiskey. Certainly unique; difficult to drink very much of though, it becomes a bit overwhelming and makes me thirsty.

Bottle 0.355 l, 5.6 %. Darkish amber/orange. Flavor is pretty deep, sweetish, wheaty and american style full. Not subtle by any means, but in your face tasty. And tasty it is. Not sure about the weizen bock cathegory, if you compare to any other weizen bocks, as this is quite an easy session beer.

Pours a dark amber with a small white head. Spiced aroma with wheat and hints of caramel. Complex flavor but not too heavy. Crisp, clean finish. A nice treat for the winter.
