Hank1980 (734), Athens, Georgia, USA Apr 27, 2009 Bottle shared at tasting. Poured a light brown with a tan head. Aroma of yeast, spice, wheat, fruit, bread malt. Taste is similar with more of the spice coming through than in the aroma. Mouth is lively. Overall, an enjoyable dunkel. ericandersnavy (1039), crossroads, Texas, USA Apr 17, 2009 bottle thanks to bu11zeye. poured brown with a thin beige head. aroma of caramel, wet grains, cinnamon, nutmeg. flavor was caramel, spices, dark fruits, and alcohol. light body with high carbonation. xnoxhatex (1305), Grand Rapids/Chicago, Michigan, USA Apr 16, 2009 Bottle from Anderson’s in Toledo. Dark, hazy brown with white head. Aroma is yeasty, nutty, bready, some sweetness. Flavors are a little nutty and bready as well with some burnt sugar, red fruit. Medium body and creamy. Nice but not really all that interesting. mar (1740), Rowlett, Texas, USA Apr 14, 2009 bottle thanks to bu11zeye. chocolate brown pour with a ring of cream froth. heavy wheat/coriander scent with circus peanuts in the background. thick on the palate with a big wheat/circus peanut flavor. Dorwart (1807), Robbinsville, New Jersey, USA Apr 10, 2009 Ok, so this is one of the strangest beers I have ever poured. It was like it was turning into foam as it was being poured. Very cloudy and viscous looking yet settled nicely in the glass with a 2+ inch high head of very fine and incredibly dense and creamy bubbles. I don’t think that I have ever seen a brew pour like this before. Looks like a fine english barleywine in the glass with a huge head. I have had this brew on several occasions before nad don’t ever remember it being like this. Hmm, i could have sworn that this brew was a belgian dubbel. Well that explains the thick viscous look. Sweet malty aroma with lots of yeasty notes, wheat and some ripe bananas. Color is a cloudy dark mahagony brown. Little bit of sharp bitterness up front then some chalky wheat, smooth malty palate and some more ripe bananas. Noticable alcohol kick and presence that see higher than the advertised 7%. Finishes a bit dry and chalky with some lingeirng wheat and bananas. A damn good weizenbock. BMan1113VR (2757), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA Apr 10, 2009 Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a small, off-white head over a hazed brown body. Aroma of brown sugar, bread and a bit of chocolate. Taste is malty with some nuts, alcohol, chocolate and banana esters. Light bubbles and a creamy mouthfeel. jeremytoni (1069), Swedesboro, New Jersey, USA Apr 5, 2009 From the tap poured brown with a good amount of head. Nice sweet malty flavor with a lingering finish. Soonah (900), Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA Mar 30, 2009 On tap. Poured a light brown color with a short white head and minimal lacing. The aroma is roasted malt with light clove, chocolate and some wheat. The flavor is roasted malt and clove mostly with some dry wheat coming through. Average mouthfeel with a finished that lingered on the sweet side. Decent.
