Perhaps the first Victory I wasn't totally blown away with (hey, nobody's perfect). I may also have been thinking Aventinus when drinking this, which isn't necessarily fair. Anyway, the beer has a nice copper color, slightly hazy, with a small tan head. Dark flecks floating around in the glass. Aroma is fruity and sweet, banana and spice, typical weiss aromas. Taste is also fruity and sweet, rich caramel, banana, spices (mostly clove, perhaps some nutmeg). Oddly, the taste is at once creamy and thin. Again maybe the Aventinus influence, but I wanted a bit of a richer, fuller flavor. Still, this is a nice beer, just not necessarily one that sets itself apart.

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.
