AleSmith Decadence is a dark Weizenbock featuring malted wheat and a unique German yeast. A complex blend of rich, dark fruit flavors and a yeast derived spiciness create a deliciously balanced beer. Dark ruby hues and smooth full-bodied mouthfeel are highlighted in this classic Bavarian style.

Tasted blind. Bottled. A deep red beer with a huge orangey head. The aroma has notes of spices, tobacco, and alcohol. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and over ripe fruits, as well as light notes of oxidation, leading to a dry, bitter, and fruity finish. Huge thanks to yespr for sharing this bottle.

Mild paint aroma, some chemicals, perhaps a little fruit. Hazy dark brown colour, red hint. Good stable light brown head. The flavour is alcoholic and a little chemical. Also some malt, but not something that is really enough to make it great. 535312

Mahogany color. Sweet aroma, candies like and candi sugar. Caramel flavor, smooth mouthfeel, sweetish, with low bitterness. The final is drier, and a bit more bitter and nutty, but. Still , it’s too simple. A Bock?

Bottle: Poured a clear dark burgundy color bock with a super large light brown foamy head with good retention and some good lacing. Aroma of banana bread with caramelized brown sugar notes is simply spectacular. Taste is a perfect mix between some freshly baked banana bread with great note of caramelized sugar and subtle dry fruits. Body is full but has a nice creamy texture which really fits for the style with great carbonation and alcohol is really not apparent. One of the best weizen bock I have tasted and truly a great surprise from a great brewer.

Sampled from the bottle at the 2010 March Metro Detroit tasting. Poured a cloudy amber brown with a brown head. The aroma was delicious reminding be of banana nut bread with a dark side. Flavor was similar with sweet dark grains, banana and a hint of nuttiness.
