On tap at Pennsylvania Brewing Company. Black with small off-white head. Aroma is banana, medium body, lower carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is banana and some chocolate. Dark compared to many weizenbocks.

A murky and fetid looking diluted Nestle quick chocolate milk with a very thin white head. In aroma, sweet terpentine with cloves and bananasm not bad. In mouth, a smooth sweet banana bread with cloves, lightly oily mouthfeel, a bit thin but nice. On tap at PA Flavor, April 9th, 2011.

I don’t typically like Penn beers, but I do love me some weizenbock - I also love 750s that cost less than eight bucks, so I was all over this one - pours a cloudy dark ruby, with a fairly foamy and lasting lace - the aroma is sugar-sweet, with fairly strong clove and allspice, and some plum-ish fruitiness - none of the earthy character I get from the better takes on this style - the flavor is also very sweet, with none of the wheaty tang one would expect - this sweetness is followed by some peppery hops that are a little strange, and don’t quite work with the other characteristics - some band-aid-ish phenols arrive later, followed by some chocolate, black cherry, and strong clove flavors - finishes with warming alcohol that is just shy of overpowering - lingering spices and hops - not a terrible take on the style, just too sweet.

Sampled on draft at Johnny’s Wife’s Place in Jeannette PA this beer poured a hazy dark brown color with a medium sized dark tan head. The aroma was malty banana with a touch of citrus. The flavor was malty with strong banana, moderate citrus and hints of cocoa and bubblegum. The finish was tangy banana. The mouthfeel was fairly thick and robust. Interesting.

I was hoping to get a taste of this brew. On tap at the Bocktown in the Robinson shopping complex. Pour is cloudy dark brown but not really dark opaque. Nice big tan head that dissolves into about ¼ inch thick alabaster. The aroma is leathery sweetish and seems like it may be pretty high in alcohol. It also has those typical spicy notes that assure you it is a wheat beer. Taste starts smooth, with those whitbeer and hefe flavors we are so use to, not to strong. But then the taste builds to a stronger hotter feel that is uncommon for a regular wheat, this must be the bock coming thru. You sure can tell it is a higher alky content after a few drinks. Malty personality, not burning hot but alky none the less. I’m not sure but I think I may detect some roastyness in there too. Tastes start sweetish then go to a toasted caramel palate , much spice, is this coriander? Yes, this is an interesting brew with a complex evolution of flavors from start to finish. Starts as a smooth spicy wheat beer then finishes hard like a strong ale. Finish is bitter and alky, but not extremely high bitterness, just medium high. However, unlike other brews that finish with a medium high bitterness, this does not linger for long after the last sip. It doesn’t hang. Not quite as good as Schneider Aventinus but better than Samuel Adams Winter Lager. Overall, not bad for a weizenbock. A rare find from Penn, if you come across this you better taste it before it is gone.
