duvel tulip glass: incredibly loud pour, very fizzy. it smells great - chocolate tangerine candy. it looks great - very dark brown body with ruby highlight. it tastes great - smoke, sweet chocolate or caramel, fruity orange punch, and spice. damn. sounds disgusting, but i like it. it’s also strong and i cannot tell. a fizzy dessert! a weizen bock, egh? i understand, at least implicitly... i sense some oberon and i sense a typical good bock with some smoky characteristics.. very nice brew! NOTE: after reading some reviews i noticed everybody notes banana... now that you mention it, some of that smoke i sensed seems to be part of the banana you guys note. in any case, this brew is complex to me.

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!
