Courtesy of markwise. 750mL pours murky brown with tan head. The aroma is rich and pulsing with prunes and blueberries as well as lesser notes of brown sugar and a touch of spicy yeastiness. The taste is velvety smooth and rich with notes of prunes, blueberries and a thin layer of boysenberry preserves with faint amounts of yeasty spices softly lining the rim of the flavor experience. It ends as smooth as it began with dark fruity richness and pillowy goodness.

ARGGBLESHFADAAAAAA……………………..(the sound coming from my pants after first sip) Standard looking brew, dark brown almost black with a ½” tan cap floating playfully on top. The aroma is a big banana bomb with milk chocolate, brown sugar, and hints of dark fruit. OMG that smells so dam good!!! The taste is this big thick creamy smooth piece of banana bread still warm from the oven with a caramel spread on top. There is something in this flavor that is reminding me of mince meat pies, raisen, dates, with a mild spice. This flavor is so complex but simple that is to say it has lots of flavors but there all easy to find. I can’t get over the creamy yummy feel to this beer. The malts are so chewy, the flavor has no turned to a burnt sugar and reminds me of a puffed wheat square. Best beer I’ve had in a long long time.

Bottle: Poured a clear dark burgundy color bock with a super large light brown foamy head with good retention and some good lacing. Aroma of banana bread with caramelized brown sugar notes is simply spectacular. Taste is a perfect mix between some freshly baked banana bread with great note of caramelized sugar and subtle dry fruits. Body is full but has a nice creamy texture which really fits for the style with great carbonation and alcohol is really not apparent. One of the best weizen bock I have tasted and truly a great surprise from a great brewer.
