Bottle (something big for 1300). Prune and banana aroma with moderate alcohol nose. Murky orangish brown color with minimal head. Slight sweet banana/orange peel flavor with moderate astringency and alcohol. Mild hops finish. Fairly light for the style. Good but Aventinus is a better buy.

Nice medium amber color with a small head. Aroma is a mild hops and malt scent. Taste is a blend of hops, citrus, pine, malts, and sweetness. A little more on the sweet side than the hoppy side. Nice brew overall.

Deep reddish-brown body, thick, puffy tan head. Banana and dark fruits in the nose, caramely sweet with a touch of strawberry. Sweet, cerealy body, not quite what I expect from a weizenbock, but there are still notes of banana. Strong sweetness, but not overpowering. Not much complexity or depth, but not a bad experience.

Lighter amber color with an ample tan head. Aroma is a bit light, but consisted of a nice sweet and hoppy scent. Taste is more malty with a light hops kick and hints of caramel. Tastes good, but lacked intensity.

Black with brown head. Sweet malt and burnt black patent make for a nice aroma. Taste is rich sweet malt that balances out the dry burnt malt of the black patent. Adds welcome complexity to the porter like malt flavor. Nice. I was expecting an over abundance of burnt black patent. This malt combo creates balance and added interest in the next sip. I also detect a bit of a port wine flavor and some wood. Very good beer.

Clear dark brown with a hint of a red hue. Weak off white head. Inviting aroma. I can smell the black patent roasted malts and some of the caramelized crystal malts. Nice smell. The Scottish ale flavor competes for dominance with the Porter ale flavor. I think the scales tip toward Porter. The sweet caramel flavor is eaten up by the burnt and dry tasting black patent. Makes for a nice tasting beer.

Pured gold color, crystal clear and tiny white head. Aroma of grainy wheat or pale like malts and a little skunky yeast. Nice Bock flavor. It goes from yeasty/tangy to yeasty/fruity-sweet to some hop bite then to smooth yet grainy malts. Not bad at all.

Clear light gold color with almost no head. I smell bread yeasty-ness, lightly roasted malts and a bit of skunkyness. The taste is mild lightly roasted malts to give it a biscuit and a bit of caramel flavor. The yeast shows up in bulk also. It yields a bread and slightly tangy/skunky flavor. The bitter hops seem to build near the end of the taste. OK beer. Not my bag.
