AleSmith Decadence 2009 Dunkel Weizenbock
On-tap at Beachwood BBQ, A: Pours brown with a mild white head, fair retention, nowhere near the big pillowy head in the weizenbier style. S: Banana bread, classic nose. T: Spicy dark malt, with some banana. Finishes with a lot of clove, raisin and bubblegum. Very sugary. M: Gets cloying at points from the sugar. Full-bodied, big flavours. D: Nowhere near as complete and structured as a beer like Aventinus, but this is a pretty solid example of weizenbock. Glad I finally got to try it.
