Les Trois Mousquetaires Weizen Bock Grand Cuvée

Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 8

The beer pours a cloudy dark brown with a minimal fizzy head and minimal lacing. Aroma is sweet caramel malt,and dark fruit. Great flavour, a little Port like. Dark fruits are prominent. Supported by breaded malts, banana, brown sugar and booze . It also has a little sourness to it. Medium/full sticky mouthfeel. Appearance is a bit of a let down but the flavour makes up for that although it is a tad sweet.

Production date 15/10/2012 with a 10.5% ABV. Pours a clean rich copper-amber colour with a beige head that is medium, bubbly-fizzy, has average retention, but not much lace. Wheat nose at first pour with some caramel malts. Then some dark fruits come out (plums, raisins) with notes of toffee, coffee and a little sourness. The taste is not as strong as one would think a of high alcohol beer like this one. Dark fruits, burnt sugars, hints of bananas and apples with very mild nuts and hop in the finish. Not much carbonation, medium-to-full bodied with no burning at all. Near the end, the brew becomes hazy and more coffee notes appear in the scent. Decent Weizenbock that is a little mild (and not sure about the sourness - infection ?), but might get better with age (as they recommend aging 3-5 years).

The beer poured a dark chocolate brown with a very thin head despite plenty of effervescence. The aroma was dark fruit, mollases, some banana, and spices. The mouthefeel was full bodies with medium carbonation. The flavour was sweet malt, molasses, and a definite hint of alcohol. A better tasting beer than the aroma and appearance would indicate.

My bottle says 11%, winter 2010. This beer freakin rules. Tasted first with beerchronic, but didnt write anything down. This time I wish I had got a case while I could. Chocolate chip cookies in the most carmel way possible. Brown sugar, demura, some simple syrup, some type of herby sweet tea, but for all the malts, syrup and sweetness, (medium to large bodied), it is well balanced, ballpark IBU 38. The alcohol hides with the hops, staying well out of sight, but making sure everything goes well: lets call it helicopter hopping. Really a fantastic brew, with a great sublte, slightly tropical wood character that makes the beer outstanding, that or I havent every seen a 11% weizen bock that I not only love but cherish.

Bottle: Poured a deep hazy brown color weizen bock with a big foamy brown head with great retention and good lacing. Aroma of sweet malt with some very subtle clove notes. Taste is dominated by sweet cookie dough malt with some dry figs/plums notes. Even though there is some complex layer in this beer, I thought that the sweetness from the malt was just overwhelming at the end and something fruitier or ester to cut down some of the sweetness would have been great. Overall, while this is a very good and complex beer I still feel the sweetness need to be balance.
