text: Nice weizenbock, pleasing and complex enough but with a predominant sweet banana profile that feels a bit unbalanced. Presentation: 22 oz bottle. Retro hammer in hand seal design around barley sitting on a blue background. Notes style as "Double Dunkelweizen Ale, and Alc. by Vol. (7%) Poured into a tall weissbier glass. A - Hazy brown pour with dark copper tones. Fair head, a bit short maybe for a brew like this, medium retention and nice lacing. S - Spices, clove driving it with some coriander, a citrus hint, and a sweet wheat backbone releasing banana notes. T - Taste follows nicely and highlight very assertively the banana notes. For now this is the brew Ive had where the banana profile is most dominant. Clove, and sweet wheat malty notes seal the character. M - Medium to full body with appropriate carbonation with a smooth crisp finish. D - It is pleasing, but some of the flavors feel a bit overpowering and out of sync. Worth the experience but one has to be in the mood. Notes: It is a nice Weizenbock but Im not too sure if this is something to be really commended in this incarnation, but it is not an effort to be ignored either.
