Nicely done for Mill St. Honours the spirit of the style, though it doesn’t necessarily excel. Pours cloudy brownish red with decent head and lacing. Some light oakiness. Well-balanced, but light on overall palate. Like a light weizenbock. Light sweetness on finish. Tap at Arrow and Loon.

Bottle from the 2013 holiday taster pack. Dark brown colour, opaque thanks to the lack of filtering. No head worth mentioning. Rich flavour definitely bananas, malt and a little hint of the booze, a little surprizing at this level of alcohol. Little heavy on the carbonation, but overall a very nice beer.

Part of their Seasonal Sampler 2013 at the LCBO. Pours a cloudy copper-amber colour with a creamy light beige head, good retention and decent lace, also creamy around the edge. Sweet malty nose with lots of fresh bananas and some light dark fruits (dates) notes, spices. Creamy wet mouthfeel with just a tad of stickiness. From the bottle, no burning at all. The taste is milder like most Mill Street brews. Hints of banana from the wheat with some yeast and sweetness in the finish. Pretty good for this brewery, for this style.

A murky brown Bock with a thin mocha head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with loads of weird herbal off notes, fusel alcohol, ripe banana, so-so. In mouth, a sweet fruity malt with dark fruits, molasses, grassy notes, loads of alcohol burn, unbalanced. On tap at Ottawa location.
