"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 The bottle was way out of date, but had enough left in it to be a very nice brew of the style.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."
