12 oz bottle thanks to Dickinsonbeer. Hazy brown in color with a small off white head. Aroma- light banana esters, caramel, some wheat, spice, and somewhat bready. Taste is light banana with caramel/molasses, some tart wheat, brown sugar. Medium bodied. Finishes with spice (clove), lingering fruity esters (banana), some alcohol, and brown sugar.

Appearance: Pours a murky, dark amber body with a small, off-white head. Smell: Aroma of wheat malt with a candyish bent to it, hints of breadcrust, and the obligatory esters of banana and clove. Taste: Malted wheat with a slight tanginess and a moderate amount of sweetness. Full flavors of bananas and clove. Pinch of freshly-grated nutmeg. A relatively mild, spicy bitterness interrupts the taste for but a moment, then the flavors resume till the warming finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-full body. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: That Tröegs. Every man needs a few awesome weizen bocks around and this one just may fit the bill.

12 oz bottle via Jimbowood. This one pours a murky, brown/amber color. Light carbonation. Nose is bananas and spice. Flavor is spicy, fruity and smooth. Lots of banana and clove going on. Kind of reminds me of an abbey dubbel. Surprised by the relatively low ABV, because this one feels strong. Still, very good.

Bottle courtesy of The Epeeist: Pours a hazy copper amber with a nicely-lacing froth of white head. Sweet caramel and bready German yeasty nose has a good clove presence and some banana esters. Body starts fairly full and rich with good malty wheat sweetness and nice balance of clove spice and light citrus before an authentic bready yeasty finish. A very nice weizenbock.

Bottle. Bottle (#7-2008). Remarkably accurate Weizenbock nose, muddy yeast and caramel and toffee wheat notes, thick malt, light alcohol, touch of clove and banana....but this one has some dark, crispy cracker, as well. Pours a dirty dark brown on gradient with a fizzy light brown head that leans toward yellow. Taste is essentially the same as the aroma, with plenty of flavor muddling and a crisp feel, with some alcohol showing. Thick malty body. Light spritzes of citrus and a blend of nutmeg and all-spice. Not exactly something I’d like to drink all the time, but I do like the yeast they use for DreamWeaver and it’s suitable here.

Pours a deep cloudy amber almsot ruby in dim light with a decent head, diminishes slightly and leaves some spotty lace. Aroma is typical hefe yeast, on the banana side with nice caramell malts, toffee, ligth nuttiness and hints of chocolate. Flavor is doughy, yeasty, solid wheat malts, light phenols, good fruity esters but I get a slight matchstick/bandaid character as it warms and towards the end of the palate. Medium bodied, with a nice smooth lightly spiced finish. Pretty good.

Cloudy amber/brown, with an off white head. Aroma is cloves, nutmeg, pepper, malt, and bananas. Flavor is the above spices, caramel, malt, bananas, and some alcohol. Wow, this is a nice one. Bottle, from Capone’s.
