Im Lexikon steht, dass ein „Elixier“ ein Auszug von Heilpflanzen mit verschiedenen Zusätzen ist, der in Alkohol gelöst wird. Und wenn man bedenkt, dass die Mönche früher ohne Bier niemals durch die Fastenzeit gekommen wären, dann ist „Der Weisse Bock“ definitiv auch so ein Elixier. Deswegen ist er bei uns traditionell ab Aschermittwoch zu haben. Dunkelbraun, mit leichtem Rotstich und einem zarten Hefeschleier – so fließt er ins Glas. Und erst der Geschmack! Weichmalzig. Frisch prickelnd. Mit einer Ahnung von Süße, die sich mildbitter und samtig verabschiedet. Das muss uns erst mal einer nachbrauen. Schad eigentlich, dass die Fastenzeit so schnell vorbei geht. Besonders stolz sind wir übrigens, dass „Der Weisse Bock“ nicht nur die Goldmedaille beim European Beer Star 2013 geholt hat, sondern von „Genuss bier.pur“ auch noch mit Platin ausgezeichnet wurde.

dark nutty brown, light brown head. bit darker than expected, not porter brown though.
aroma is banana, wheat malts. not as strong as expected for a bock, quite german hefeweisen wheat malty banana like. Aroma is nice though. balanced, deep.
flavor is not that good, there is a subdued fruitiness and a subdued herbalness that doesn't really match up with the usual hefeweisen and not the usual bock. like if it was slightly infected perhaps. I never had a beer this color have that flavor.
Average texture considering the style
overall a beer that i would not have again.

Bottle. Pours hazy very dark brown with airy tan head. Clear aroma of malt and caramel, with touches of yeast and hops. Bitter, hoppy and roasty flavour with herbal and spicy touches and sourish, grainy notes. Bitter and estery aftertaste with spicy hints and touches of caramel. Reasonable.

Bottled 500ml (Kihoskh, BB 07/2024)
Brown colour, small off-white head. Bready, even nutty bock-nose. Medium-bodied. Bready, wheaty with toasted banana, even some sharp edge. I wonder if this is not 100% in condition. Quite dry.

Bottle online from The Trembling Madness. Pours a hazy dark brown colour with a thinnish off white head. Aromas of dry dark fruits, brown bread, caramel and a little chocolate. Taste is quite tart with notes of stewed fruits, some more dark fruits, caramel, chocolate and also hints of bubblegum. Medium to full body with average carbonation and a slightly oily mouthfeel. Quite a unique beer. Not bad.

0.5 l bottle from 'Meibier.de', best before November 2023. Hazy, very dark brown with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, beige head. Sweetish-malty, gently yeasty-spicy aroma of overripe banana, marzipan, caramel, some clove and a touch of raisins. Quite sweet, malty, moderately bitter, gently yeasty-spicy and minimally fruity taste of caramel, marzipan, overripe banana, toasted nuts, light chocolate and hints of raisins, followed by a short, moderately bitter finish. Medium to full body, smooth and gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Very pleasant, moreish and relatively complex, not overly yeasty or chalky. A real pleasure, finally a Weizenbock which lives up to my expectations again.
