Also labeled as Oktoberfest Doppelweizen.
Aromas are a great combination of bananas, bubblegum and cloves with a slight hint of liquorice. Full bodied and chewy with a warming smooth finish.

Bottle at home in London - sourced from the one and only Cotteridge Wines. Pours clear ruby-brown with a soft, creamy khaki head. The aroma holds a lot of grape, ripe cherry, lightly toasted brown bread. Medium to richly sweet flavour, with lots of ripe and gooey berries, more cherry and grape, some fruit punch, hints of toffee, bready malts, toasted wheat. Medium bodied with average carbonation and velvety texture. Sweet finish, lightly warming and just a little bit sticky, with more nicely rounded, ripe berries, plum, cherry, grape, slight bruised banana. Fairly straightforward, but the fruit character is quite compelling and the 8% strength is nowhere to be seen. Dangerously drinkable, for sure.

Muddy brown with thin head. Aroma has plenty of caramel malts and sweet banana as does the flavour. In the aftertaste there are hints of liquorice. Pleasant and complex.

Bottle. Lots of ripe banana, and yes, bubblegum and candy. Almost like a tripel. A bit too flat, a bit boozy. Warming and intense.

Dark brown color with amber highlight and a fluffy beige head. Aroma is spicy yeasts, bananas. Taste is plums, overripe bananas, massive fruit esters. Finish is boozy, and a bit too intense on dried plums. Silky mouthfeel, carbonation is a bit too low. Still a good Weizenbock, though.

500ml bottle @ Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury. Pours deep hazy brown, good off-white head. Aroma is rich malt, mild banana and a touch of bubblegum. Taste is smooth and full bodied, moderately sweet with caramelised malt, dark fruits, banana syrup. Tasty.

20th Nov 2015: 500ml bottle into a HB Munchner Kindl Weise bier glass, just to make it feel at home. Bubble Gum and Banana esters rise from the dark amber/dull terracotta body, the head an off-white layer that hung around: it smells sweet with the Gum and Bananas seeming to take centre stage. The taste however is not as sweet as the nose implies, there is a semi-bitter feel in the flavour, even if the initial taste is banana like with a sweet bubble gum lead. Not going overboard, but this was OK without setting my taste buds on fire.
