Pours a dark, nearly opaque, mahogany brown color with a frothy, heavy looking tan head. This LongShot has a fairly intense aroma of yeast, alcohol, banana, smoked wheaty malts, and Belgian candy. This style of beer doesn’t produce my favorite beer aroma, but this brew has a very pronounced aroma regardless of personal taste. Flavor is very similar to the aroma, although reminds me more of an abbey dubbel than a weizen bock. Flavor blends heavy fruit flavors (plum and banana), heavy yeast flavor and heavy malt flavor. Nothing subtle in this bottle. Again, not my favorite style, and a little misrepresented by calling it a weizenbock, but still a pleasant flavor. Finish has a lasting sweetness and a slightly syrupy texture. I was very impressed by this beer, and although I don’t typically like weizenbocks, I thought this beer was a great representation of the style and a great offering from the Boston Beer Company.

Pour is a murky, cloudy brown with a tan head. Aroma is nice with lots of banana and clove coming to the front. Flavor is cloves, brown sugar and banana with a little alcohol burn after the swallow. A very tasty and well done rep of the style.

One of the best Sam Adams products, ever. Tyler is right that it could be thicker on the palate, but a lot of weizenbocks are thin like this. It is brown in color, and there is abundant wheat and banana. Lots of fruit and some sugar. Really good, and its great to see them do this style that few brewers attempt.
