500 ml botlle, as Mahrs Bräu Weisser Bock, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 7.2%. Slightly hazy deep brown colour, large off-white to beige head. Aroma of banana, caramel, brown bread, a hint of cloves. Fizzy mouthfeel. Slightly sweet flavour of brown bread with some caramel, hints of banana and cloves. Minimal hops. Not bad, but I hoped for something even better.

This weizen bock pours a deep brown color from a 50cl bottle. Large sized white foamy head, with good lacing and nice retention. The head is nearly alive. The aroma is caramel and beady with some chocolate and banana. A medium bodied dunkel weizen bock. The malts are bready and caramel, with banana and chocolate. The hops are slightly earthy. Nice balance. Lively carbonation. Nice beer, kind of mild tasting, yet enough flavor to be interesting. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

Wrong season for this during my stay in Bamburg, so fining a couple of bottles in Portland Orygun was a nice surprise. The bottle was way out of date, but had enough left in it to be a very nice brew of the style. Will not compare it to other wheat bocks other then to say I love em all. I will surely had back "over there" in the Spring one year and get it at the source. If you see this product mind the date on the bottle. The importer is famous for selling out of datebrau!

500ml bottle Pours a dark chocolatey brown with a one finger head that fades quickly to a spotty cap and ring. The lacing doesn't stick to the glass at all. Smell; lots of dark bready malts, with some caramel and wheat. There's some dark fruits with some prunes and a some cherries. Some cloves and bananas come through in the background. Overall though the aroma is a bit more mild that I would have expected. Taste; this is sweet, but not to the point where it becomes to much. The malts are mostly caramel and bread dough, but there's also some hints f chocolate as well. The darker fruits come out in the middle with prunes and a touch of cherries, and the finish is cloves and bananas with a bit of an alcohol spiciness. Edit: as this warms up the banana flavors become much more dominant. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied, with a very smooth laid back carbonation, and the drinkability is reall good as well. While this is pretty damn good, for the price I'll be going back to Aventinus for my weizen-bock fix, maybe even Pikantus.

Bottle, poured into my Aventinus glass with excitement and anticipation, yet left regretting doing such a thing to such a poor beer. The pour was expectable, although the head was a little small. The aroma was caramel, citrus, some toffee not a pleaser, just a bit off. The flavor was brown sugar, citrus, sour/lactic aspects, toasted dunkelweizen notes, barely a touch of banana, faint spicing, all of this lost under that sourness, just tasting like a bad batch (not a bad bottle, since others are noting the same thing). Mouthfeel was light for the style, no dark fruits or malt depth, acidic/sour, yuck. A train wreck of a weizenbock, a style that has so much to offer, yet this was as bad as the Bischoff Dunkelweizen I had. Oh who, oh who, can be worthy of a pour into this Aventinus glass I have? No one?

Very, very bubblegummy. There is some lemon, but there is not as much dark malt flavor as Aventinus and it's not as good as that brilliant beer. Very creamy mouthfeel. Still a good beer.

Wow!! I saw this in the store and thought that at three and a half bucks for a pint +9 oz., it couldn't be too good but bought it anyway. I'm glad I did. Pours a nice dark color with tons of off-white, rocky head. Nice aroma of wheat, malt, yeast and fruits. Nice mouthfeel that only improved with warming, as did the flavor and aroma. The flavor backed the aroma up perfectly, with all the same things coming out. I'll buy this one again if I can find it.

The aroma is of sweet malt with nice hints of dark fruit characteristics with some hints of yeast and a very slight bitter and is very aromatic. The appearance is fantastic and is a very nice, flat brown in color that is cloudy with some red hues when held to the light with a huge, frothy head on top that is bubbly and off-white in color and remians on top diminishing very slowly leaving awesome lacing on the glass. The mouthfeel is full-bodied with very nice fruity complexity with very smooth balance with a very nice pallet that is slightly syrupy and very good and coats well. The flavor is full of sweet fruits and is sweet with some slight yeast present with some slight bitter evident as well with a very nice and smooth aftertaste that is malty with a finish that is wet-like and somewhat bitter with some nice and warming alcohol burn that is not too strong. Overall, I was very impressed with this offering and it is great with nice dark fruit characteristics and is unbelieveably smooth and very tasty; I definitely will come back to this one for sure. This is a sleeper brew that surprised the hell at of me!

Poured a really dark brown-red with a medium lasting foamy head. Smell like caramel and grapes. First sip was very sour, then became acceptable to the palate. Hints of spices. Smooth molasses finish mixed in with fig cake. Carbonation is hard to see due to hazy nature of the beer. A well brewed beer, but just not my type.
