Created by Rodney Kibzey, Illinois.
Rodney describes his wonderfully complex brew as "deep amber in color with a full creamy body and a dark fruit and clove aroma." This traditional Bavarian style brew took Rodney a few batches to perfect, but the taste is worth all of his hard work.

Aroma of caramel malt with banana notes. Hazy brown color with a white head that came out flat. Strong clove aroma as the glass approached the nose. Medium body with creamy carbonation. Lots of clove flavor with a dark roasted wheat backbone. Plus there’s banana. The finish is fairly dry, fairly bitter, a bit toasted, and cloved. Quite a product.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy dark brown with a medium frothy light tan head. The aroma is clove and bananas. Good lacing on the glass. The taste is a very sweet malt with banana and brown sugar. A good Weizen Bock from Sam Adams.

Bottle. Dingy brown with a pretty big fizz up that dies down fairly quickly. I’m greeted by sweet aromas of brown sugar, cloves and dark fruit like figs. Flavors are more of the same, but cloves come out fairly strongly.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a very cloudy dark brown color with a medium sized tan head. The aroma was sweetish, yeasty and malty with notes of banana. The flavor was sweet, tangy and fruity with strong notes of citrus and banana and a light hints of clove and bubblegum. The finish was long and malty with banana and bubblegum lingering. Wonderfully complex.

Darker cloudy brown appearnce but certainly not on the black side of dark. Hefty wheaty aroma, has a little volatile punch to it, like any good w bock. Has gunk on the bottom that leads to a swirling hypnotizing visual effect when you near the bottom of the bottle. Good wheat flavors with the typical spices feel. You can tell it is above average in the alky content but it does not come across like the +7% listed here. The only hint of the alky content is on the finish where it has some malty alky medicinal linger, somewhat like cough medicine.

12oz bottle. Thick deep brown-amber color. Intense banana aroma. Sweet pungent taste with lots of banana flavors. A little more one-sided than most German Weizenbocks, but still very enjoyable. Mellows a little bit mid-glass, with some tasty malt characteristics complementing the yeast.

12 oz. bottle. Well, one of our boys made it (though Rodney is Urban Knaves of Grain and I’m Brewers of South Suburbia). Dark brown color, a bit cloudy, I think, short layer of foam. Smell mostly of wheat and dark grains. I suspect even this long in the bottle will start to mellow out the weizen esters. But those characteristics are there in the palate: a sweet banana nut bread taste among grains with a bit of roastiness and a bite of yeast. Clove comes out next, with cardamon and poppyseed. Hmm… it’s a muffin in a beer. Almost a bit too much to chew on, but a good big beer that preserves the quirks of good homebrew.

Murky dark orange-brown body, medium tan head. Aroma of chocolate, banana, and alcohol. Creamy, estery body, with notes of banana, clove, chocolate, and caramel. Soft, complex, and well-balanced. A fine beer and testament to the brewing talents of its author and homebrewers everywhere. Kudos to participants in this contest. I really like this beer.
