Incredibly foamy head coming out of the bottle! Nice dark color. Very tasty. While you can taste the alcohol in this dopple, its not necessarily cloying. Pleasant light "bocky" aftertaste. Not as good as Schneider Aventinus, but I'd buy it again since its half the price!

50cl bottle from Heinemann, OSL Airport. Pours hazy brown with a decent and lasting off-white head. Malty, wheaty and fruity aroma with caramel, dark fruits, banana and hints of spices and nuts. Sweet, fruity and caramlly with not much bitterness to speak of. Quite pleasant, but far from the best weizen bock I have tried.

Bottle: Poured a dark brown to black with a huge off white to tan head. Aroma is sweet roasted malt. Taste is a sweet roasted malt and slight veggie. Very interesting to say the least.

Part of their Variety Pack from this Christmas with a glass. Pours a brown colour, clean with some copper-golden highlights. Beige head, fairly creamy, average retention with little lacing. Aromas of bananas and some hints of dark fruits. The taste is a blend of bananas and dark fruits as well. Alcohol is well-hidden, but still feel it. A caramel malt base. Not bad, but a little too rich overall without being refined.

Weizenbocks are very hard to find in North America, and dark weizenbocks are even rarer, so I was excited to see this one at the LCBO a while back. A dark brown pour, with a medium sized off-white head. Notes of chocolate, dark fruit, wheat and yeast make up most of the aroma. The flavour starts sweet with the wheat and fruit notes, but the finish is very bitter with the hops and chocolate.

Deep ruddy chocolate color, nearly black, with a tall khaki head that quickly resolves to a thin cap. Aroma of sweet coffee, dried cherry or raisin, maybe just a wee touch of banana. This is all present in the flavor, too, and those elements are delicious. Good traces of char and ash. Underneath it all, there's dark yeasty bread, doughy and mildly bitter. But there's also an unwelcome metallic zing and sour alcohol at first, and that's really harming the overall experience-- maybe I served it too cold. Might have to try a different bottle of this just to check. Medium weight, carbonation unnecessarily sharp.

The beer pours a translucent copper-brown colour with a this tan head. The aroma is light fruit, spices, wheat, and caramel. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour is fairly sweet with some fruit, wheat, and a definite yeastiness. Quite enjoyable.

Dark brown (hazy) with brown foam head. Lasting and lacing to glass. Aroma is sweet caramel, unlike taste. Although sweet, it is not overwhelming. Good bittersweet aftertaste, somewhat tickling carbonation, slowly turning more sweet. Quite high alcohol. (Velp, 201211)
