A strong, dark, German style bock. This beer is served traditionally cloudy due to the suspended yeast. This wheat beer is estery like a hefeweizen (hefe=yeast), but bigger and sweet with more of everything.

Had on-tap at the brewery, poured into a Weiss glass.
L: Pours a dark dark brown, nearly black. Thick creamy tannish head and nice lacing.
S: Weiss yeasts, toasted malts, faintly spicy.
T/F: Interesting flavor profile. Toasted malts on top of a more traditional wheat beer flavor. Bread and yeasts... spice and banana... with some interesting complexity. Zesty and refreshing.
O: A nice change of pace for Otto's... and sort of a cross between a porter and a weiss. Not bad at all and one I will likely sample again.

Served on tap in a pint glass
Appearance – Served a super hazy and murky orange brown colored brew with a one finger white head. The head fades rather fast to leave a great level of lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma is lighter overall, consisting of wheat and some yeast. Along with these smells are notes of a more spicy and banana nature. The spice is of coriander and clove creating an overall spiced brown bread and yeasty banana smell.
Taste – The taste begins with a wheaty and lightly roasted brown bread flavor with a moderately strong yeasty taste upfront. As the flavor advances, more and more wheat comes to the tongue, all at the expense of the more roasted brown bread and roasted flavors that were upfront. Some citrus of an orange nature as well as lots of banana begin developing more toward the middle to the end of the taste. These flavors are joined by flavors of more yeast and lots of spice of coriander and clove (just as the nose would have predicted). The mix of these flavors take the taste to its end where a fruity and moderately sweet wheat taste is left to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the beer is a little on the chewier side with a carbonation level that is on the average side. The chewier body is quite nice for the wheaty and roasted nature of the brew while the average carbonation is good for keeping it very drinkable and for keeping with the sweeter fruit flavors of the brew.
Overall – Overall a rather enjoyable brew. Sweet, yeasty, fruity and lightly roasted. Very easy drinking and rather enjoyable overall.

cloudy golden with a good white head. The hefeweizen is the core, and much more complexity. Some sourness. Good whte lacing. Above average mouthfeel, the carbonation is unobstructive. Well malted sweetness, yet stilltangy and fruity.More of a sipper.
