Aug 25, 2008 Brown and slightly hazy. Hits you at the back of the throat straight away.Thick mouth feel slightly like a medicine.All right as a one off but not to drink regularly or in large quantities.

Aug 23, 2008 11.2 oz bottle. 2008 vintage. Bottle # 02759 purchased at Julio’s Liquors in Westborough, Mass. Pours a deep, cola like brown with a 1/2" off white head. Huge malt & wheat nose with a warm slightly carbonated palate. As to flavor, this is complex huge beer. Huge malt background with wheat, dark fruits, nuts & alcohol. This is a sipper for sure. Goes down smooth, but warm. Almost like port or brandy.

Aug 21, 2008 this is balanced and the abv is blended into layers of flavor and texture. much more malt than i had expected and slightly less sweet. it is dark like port with a brownish hugh. big fruit flavors and nose with a short finish.

Bottle number 04472 from the 2006 batch Tasted on 4/01/08
Pours a dark amber color and has quite a head that fades very quickly but leaves no lacing. I can tell it is pretty carbonated just because it sounds like a cola after I pour it. Smells like I would expect from a bock up front with some wheat smells afterwards. Raisiny, malty, a little bit of wheat, and a hint of alcohol coming up the rear. Tastes absolutely phenomenal. A smooth mellowed out caramel, malty taste with a hint of the wheat but very little alcohol. The alcohol really sneaks up on you in this one since it comes in at 12%. The mouthfeel is really smooth and goes down easily. Its very drinkable but I can’t see myself drinking much else for a while after this.

does not count  Aug 16, 2008 A very unique aroma - alcohol, malt and a strange scent I can’t describe. Brown with a off-white head. Personally I prefer them to appear a bit more bold at this level - but that doesn’t necessarily mean anything. Very strange sediment. Taste is nutty with cloves and spices. Creamy finish.
Overall a great beer - VERY original and holds its own in a very high league.

Aug 15, 2008 Updated: Sep 30, 2008A great beer, obviously a concentrated version of the weizen bock. I think the younger sibling has the upper hand, just for the fact that the alcohol can be a bit too cloying here. Still a great brew though

Aug 14, 2008 I’d have this again in a flash - aroma of caramel and dark plum, flavors of raisin, fig, roasted/fermented fig/plum/dark grape and nicely balanced with roasted malt. A hell of a beer - really reminds me of a quad. Actually reminds me a little of Westy 12 specifically, which I hope doesn’t get me shot. A beer that’s fab at any temperature.
