No head at all! Bread and glue in the aroma. Sweet, malty taste with banana, mango, bread, cola and butter flavors. Full bodied. Alcohol present, but well hidden. The taste is magnificent, the aroma is limping behind.

cloudy brown with sediment, lovely thick super smooth large offwhite head. fruity, peach, faint dark fruits in the aroma, well balanced. almost resembling belgian stuff. flavori is peachy, yellow fruity, dark fruits, strong flavor but not alcoholic, sicy as it gets warmer.

Bottle. Medium head with short duration. Color is dark brown. Aroma is dominated by spices. Taste is sweet and spicy. Greal good weizen bock.

On tap: The colour is very dark brown/reddish. Pours a huge head. The aroma is distinct. Yeast and banana. The flavour is heavenly. A palate of flavours just hits your mouth while drinking it. As others I can highly recommend this beer.

UPDATED: APR 29, 2003 I was a little disappointed considering it's extremely high rating by others. I might have to give it another try. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed every sip. A very hearty, strong bock/wheat beer. Not dissapointed in the beer. My expectations were unfairly high.

Draught. Creamy white good mostly lasting head. Brown colour. Powerfull aroma with hints of cinnamon. Very good flavor aswell. Creamy palate. A very good beer.

Bottled 500ml, aged 6.5yrs. Dark brown, red with beige head. I don’t get the hype with this one, quite sweet and sickly, porty with cloves and various spices and a big dose of nasal alcohol, but for a beer to be looked forward to it is a bit lacking. A beer trying to be a wine rather than a beer. It’s ok, but nothing special.

Aroma of dark malt, banana, clove. In front of halogen the color is deep reddish mahogany. The beige head was substantial, but left rather quickly. Medium to full bodied. Creamy carbonation. Starts with lots of banana, nearly paint thinner so, caramel malt, and noticable clove. The finish is a bit gritty, banana, spice, and some malt. There is a full banana bread aspect in the end. It has a finishing sour note, but the malt and banana balance that. It is certainly marvelous.
