Wild Dog Weizenbock
This bottle is sampled due to the efforts of tsmthrs and Secret Santa BIF 2006. Pours a cloudy reddish brown colored ale with a small tight tan head. Smell is sweet and spicy with a prominent cloves and banana scent. Lesser scents of nuts. Mostly this is scented of cloves. Taste is sweet and nutty with a strong clove flavor. Additional flavors of leather and tobacco leaf. The flavor does have a few defects. There is a soapy and soy sauce taste here. In sum this tastes like Aventinus with some flavor defects. Mouthfeel is OK. Honestly the drinkability here is just so. I made a better Weizenbock the first time I tried using only extracts. REALLY your money is better spent on Aventinus but this is worth a try if it isn't too expensive.
