Sampled for the first time in its trademark glass: Just as refreshing and full-flavored as ever with great banana esters and clove balance throughout. I’ve had a lot of weizenbocks and this is still my favorite.

1999 Aged Version sampled on 11/21/02: Clouded murky brown with a puffy tan head. Complex aroma of sweet caramel and wheat malts with some dark and light fruits. Sweet sticky finish covers the alcohol very well. This seems to have picked up some more complexity over the past 4 years, but nothing too different from its fresh version.

Original Rating: Dark brown with a huge puffy head (see picture). Smells like a really malty wheat beer with the typical banana and clove character. The body is full and a touch spicy with a mellow bittering finish. It warms the inside as it goes down, although the alcohol is masked well in the flavor. I love the yeast as well. Perhaps the best wheat doppelbock ever.

Nov 28, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra. Smells like a cross between a quad and an imperial weizen. Complex as shit. Oh and tastes awesome. About as wheaty as a beer can get, but a nice complement of dark fruits makes this one excellent brew.

Nov 20, 2008 Smells slightly metallic and slightly sweet smell as it warms. smooth, sweet, slightly milky taste that is very rich. A nice balance of wheat and fruitiness with darker ans sweeter flavors as it warms. A very nice beer. I only wish it were lower in alcohol so I could drink more!

Oct 30, 2008 Shared this one w/ SkyCop32. Picked up at Maruhn Getränke in Darmstadt, also picked up the authentic glassware pictured to the left. Pours a crisp cola brown color. Aromas of clove, banana, fruit, and alcohol. Flavor is alcoholic clove and spice with a bittersweet finish. Good beer!
