Bottle, thanks Joss! Cloudy amber. The aroma has some alcohol, autolysis. Flavour hints at pears and plums and is accented towards the sweet. It seems to have some potential but doesn’t quite come together.

Bottle (thanks to joss!): Cloudy, light amber coloured, bigger, stable off-white head; moderate sweet-grainy nose with a distinctive touch of alcohol and some fruity undertones; solid sweet flavour, almost cloying, full bodied; sweet finish with burning alcohol and a light tartness. Unbalanced and sweet.........

(75cl bottle) Cloudy, orange colour with floaties and a fluffy slightly beige foamy head. Yeasty and sweet malty aroma with notes of apricots and vanilla. Sugary (unfermented) sweet flavour, grainy and subtle fruity taste, full bodied, sticky mouthfeel. Sweet malt-accented finish with acceptable but present notes of alcohol and a subtle note of apricot in the aftertaste. Not very balanced and sticky, somewhat unfinished brew (16.V.09).

0.75cl bottle. Spiced, light buttery aroma - clove and light cinnamon. Cloudy orange, light head. Has all the trappings of a weizenbock really - is it one? Spices, a bit cherry and apple, green wood notes - slightly muddled up by a clayish buttery bubblegum flavor. Medium body, mellow mouthfeel. Cherry, almods, butter and chocolate retronasal. A bit strange, I though it grew on me, but after a while it just became too cloying.
