Appearance - Pours a very dark brown/amber color with an inch thick, creamy tan head that dissipates instantly. Leaves a pretty nice lacing.
Smell - Sweet with roasted malts and banana.
Taste - Has very nice, heavy malts. Very sweet, caramel, dark fruits, clove, and a slight alcohol bitterness in the finish.
Mouthfeel - Has a medium/creamy body with low carbonation.
Overall - I think this is my first time trying this style of beer. It's not bad.

From notes, enjoyed on a trip to Minnesota over the past winter.
A: Dark amber/copper with a frothy off-white head that fades (a little too quickly) in to a thin, but steady, lacing.
S: Wonderful banana aroma with the wheat, yeast, and esters you'd expect from a good German weizenbock.
T: Wonderfully balanced blend of banana, clove, and malt...some may prefer these flavors to be more pronounced but a very nice balance nonetheless. Alcohol is hardly noticeable, quite a feat at 7% abv.
M: Not nearly as thick or heavy as the classics of this style, but the medium body and steady carbonation, not to mention little to no alcohol burn, makes this extremely drinkable.
O: Wonderful take on the Weizenbock, right up there with New Glarus among the best American versions of this style. Amazingly, it's generally available for $7 or less a sixer. I hope they make this a regular winter seasonal.
