Bottle. 5-3-07 This is the highest rated beer available in Arkansas, so I was hesitant to try it. Didn’t want to get my hopes up. My buddy and I pulled ours out of the fridge and held them for a moment to let them warm. They poured a deep red-brown with a nice puffy head. As this dissipates, and the flavors waft from the glass, my nose perks up. Toffee, caramel, figs and huge esters pop out immediately. The flavor is rich and luxurious. It has the softness and drinkability of a traditional german hefeweizen, the rich malt character of a delicious dopplebock, and the intense estery aroma of a belgain tripel or summer siason. We stood inside his garage, sheltered from the spring rain that dotted softly outside and raised our glasses to a friend as quiet darkness settled in around us.

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!
