Pours is a dark amber color with a medium size khaki colored head that recedes leaving some spotty lacing.
Aromas begin with spicy yeast esters; then as it warms I get more sweet, hearty, wheat bread followed along with some banana bread notes.
The tastes begin with a good sweet bready base. Then as it warms I get clove and gingerbread along with a subtle banana flavor. Some brown sugar and molasses, as well.
The mouthfeel is medium bodied with a medium carbonation. Finish is moderately creamy with a mild warming feel.
Overall this is one of the better American interpretations of the Weizenbock I've had recently but still not up to par with the great German examples.

Dark brown in color and murky in complexion. There's a fingernail of brown around three quarters of the rim and covering a third of the top. The aroma is of dark, syrupy sweet wheat and faint bubblegum and banana. I'm tasting dark wheat and a bit of sweet, overripe banana. The mouth is lightly sticky and chewy sweet.

Pretty good weizen bock, medium amber with thin head. Heavy malt masks the wheat backbone of this. Lacks the head of a real German weizen, but mouthfeel and overall body are pretty good. Medium weight winter warmer.

A fishy smell before it hits the mouth. Decent. Bitter but not hoppy. Caramel and syrup. Quite zingy. Fruity aftertaste. It's an American bigger, bolder take on the style. Has a lovely chilli chocolate quality, weirdly. Decent.
