I didn't know this was supposed to be a weizen bock until I got here to post a rating. Something's going on here, but I'm not sure what it is. Good color, but it really needs to choose a direction in which to take you rather than leaving you wondering what you're drinking. Not nearly as fine as their most excellent Dark Lager.

From old tasting notes. Deep mahogany brown color. Small beige head. Sweet roasted malt nose hints at burnt caramel. Pleasant soft bittersweet roasted malt flavor has a spicy bitter hop finish. Nice balance and complexity.msweet, cloying malty aftertaste.

Bomber from Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a hazy dark reddish brown color with a thin, creamy offwhite head. Fair head retention and lacing. Aroma of nutty notes, grainy malts, raisins and a sweet malty finish. The taste is nuts, grainy malts, faint raisin notes and a bit of honey. A little on the thin side.

Bottle. Chocolate and maple aroma. Dark brown with small head. Light maple and malt flavor up front with moderate astringency and bitterness in the finish. High acidity and mild carbonation. Fairly light for the style but pretty good - not as meaty as some but I’ll have to disagree with some of the other raters - this is a good example of the style. Weeping Radish does a good job at recreating German styles.

(Bottle 33 cl) German version brewed by Anker Brauerei in Nagold. Comes as "Weeping Radish Christmas Beer Dark Lager" at 5,7% ABV. Very dark with a limited head. Nutty, malty and roasted with some aromatic bitterness. Hardly a Doppelbock. 040501

Acquired via trade. At first I was wondering what makes a Doppelbock a "Christmas beer" aside from the label, but it does seem like this beer was tweaked just a bit. Pours a dark reddish-brown color with a thin dark beige head that dissipates rapidly. Heavy roasted malt aroma along with spice. Rich body with a good roasty and nutty malt character. Lots of spice flavor too which is really what differentiates this from other Doppelbocks. The finish is spicy and lightly hoppy. This beer is just different enough from typical Doppelbocks that I would definitely enjoy it again.

Dark brown. Apple and toffee in the aroma. Medium to light body, clean flavour, rather low bitterness. I can't help but associating to baked apples when drinking this.

Bleh. Sour and smelled and tasted of black olives (confirmed by others I was drinking with).
