Buttery raisin and fig nose, wheat bread and oatmeal highlights. Cloudy brown, thick tan head, fair retention. Liquid raisin bread flavor. Fig also detected, but only semi sweet. Medium body, soft carbonation. Light on the spice and fruit typical of the style, but wonderful maltiness.

Stavanger Øllags Erdingertreff på Cardinal: denne ble servert ferdig oppskjenket i flotte stetteglass som aperitif, og det viste seg å være en god idé, den er en stemningsskapende øl. Tett, insisterende beige skum. Uklar mørkebrun farge. Aroma av banan og nybakt brød pluss karamellsødme. Noen gode munnfuller av denne og man blir vennlig innstilt mot omgivelsene, inkludert Erdingers salgsrepresentant. Rund og fin med litt sjokolade og syre (tørket aprikos?). Behagelig og lett for sin voltstyrke. Kort ettersmak. Flott balansert men ikke akkurat kompleks.

Typical Weizenbock with beige, thick, compact foam and mahogany brown colour with reddish hue, equally misty. Dark malts in the nose, caramel, faint chocolate, wheat, banana, cloves, sweet paprika, ginger. Soft sweetish taste, caramel, light wheat sourishness, weak roasted, bit coffee-like bitterness in the end with warming alcohol; strong, even a bit harsh carbonation. Combines the full, caramelly sweetness and warming alcohol of a Doppelbock with the wheat sourish freshness of a Weissbier, as expected in this style.

500 ml bottle into weizen glass, best before 9/2013. Pours fairly hazy/cloudy deep reddish brown color with a 1-2 finger dense khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big raisin, plum, banana, caramel, toast, brown sugar, molasses, brown bread, wheat, clove, light chocolate, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of fruity/spicy yeast, dark/bready malt, and light earthy hop notes; with good strength. Taste of big raisin, plum, banana, caramel, toast, brown sugar, brown bread, light chocolate, wheat, clove, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Good amount of earthy yeast spiciness on the finish; with lingering notes of raisin, plum, banana, caramel, toast, brown sugar, brown bread, light chocolate, wheat, clove, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Damn nice balance and complexity of fruity/spicy yeast, dark/bready malt, and light earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/yeast balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium-high carbonation and medium bodied; with a very smooth, crisp, and lightly bready mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a damn nice weizenbock. All around good complexity and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, dark/bready malt, and light earthy hop flavors; and very smooth and crisp to drink. A very enjoyable offering.

Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were malts, sweetness, caramel, hint of grass and low bitterness. Aftertaste was malty, sweet and bitter. A weak weizenbock. Clean.
