Der Starke für die besonderen Momente. Fast schwarz mit einem sensationellen Schaum und einem bananigen Duft erinnert er im Antrunk an Kaffeenoten. Im Nachtrunk besticht er durch sein volles Malzaroma.

Can to weizen glass.
Appearance is as seen in the picture.
Aroma: sweet apple bread up front with some dark fruits, then a scent of banana and far under a super subtle note of umami then an ever so slight note of clove
Flavor: seems to lean into the sweetness of the apple breadiness and dark fruits; the spice from the clove seems fainter here than in the aroma; finally found the banana sweetness - I really found that super hard to pick up; finishes semi-dry with some dark fruity to apple bready sweetness
Texture: medium bodied; between sessionable and being a sipper; pretty good smoothness with really nothing distracting anywhere; good carb level
Overall: pretty good Weizenbock tho that umami thing going on in the aroma was different. Did I like it? Hmmm...might be better to say I accepted it

"Plank-Bier Dunkler Weizenbock", Flasche (MHD: 3.7.2025) von Liebick, geleert 27.6.2025. Mein 2. Versuch mit diesem Bier, nachdem sich eine vor 10 Jahren verkostete Flasche bereits 3 Monate nach dem MHD als stark essigsauer und eindeutig verdorben herausgestellt hatte. - Dunkles Rotbraun, hefetrüb; kläglicher Schaum. - In der Nase tiefes dunkles Weizenmalz mit feinen Kaffee- und Schokoladearomen, reich aber elegant obergärig mit wohltuend dezenter Banane, Pflaumenmus, Bitterorange, Klee, Anklängen an Lakritz und Orangenlikör. - Antrunk mächtig aber rund dunkelweizenmalzig mit feinen Aromen von Brotkruste, Rosinen, Mokka, Bitterschokolade, Orangenlikör und mediterranen Kräutern. Die Süße ist noch beherrscht; es überwiegen solide dunkelmalzige und dezent fruchtige Aromen. Milder rezent, breit; sauber kaschierter Alkohol. Im Abgang nicht anders als bereits beschrieben - für prägnante Hopfung ist hier kein Raum aber auch kein Bedarf. - Sehr gediegener, geradezu eleganter dunkler Weizenbock. Meisterhaft!

Bottled. Poured a murky caramel color with a a large head. Candyish aroma, some hops, a real good d-weiss.

very dark mahogany pour with ruby highlights. Wicked nose of dark sweet fruit, lots of yeast, and some nice bread. Great flavor of yeast, sweet bread, dark ripe fruits. Great esters, and a touch of bubblegum with some banana. excellent weizen!

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clearish coffee brown with a finger of beige head that lingers. Banana, clove and bread dominate the nose. Similar on the palate with more clove and a touch of pepper towards the end. ABV hidden well. Nice beer.

Backlog December 2008. Reddish brown body under a big off-white head. Aroma is malty with some dry fruit and hint of alcohol. Taste is dark malt, caramel, a bit fruity and not much sweetness. Medium body and dry aftertaste.

Tap at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours dark brown, hazy, with very abundant cream foam, fine. Aroma is malty and caramel, recalling even a bit of barrel ageing and a thin hint of acetic. Body is average, with higher than average carbonation. Taste is pleasantly sweet, but not excessive. Final is slightly long but moderate in sweetness.
