Bottled, thanks Bov! Muddy yellow, minimal head. Spicy mustard seed aroma. Mid sweet with clean mouthfeel and medium body. Instead of the expected banana there are some spicy hops and vanilla, as well as medcinal notes. Low bitterness. Confusing beer.

Black color; medium sized compact head; a lot of yeast dans the bottle neck. Aroma of paper, some yeast, light roasted malt. Roasted malt flavor, high carbonation; dry mouthfeel, lean body. Decent Schwarz.

Cloudy amber color; small head; low carbonation. Mild aroma: malt, caramel, yeast, cabbage. Correct body, with a light malt flavor, very light residual sweetness, and traces of yeast; almost no wheat flavor. Correct to low bitterness. Drinkable, but unrefined and a bit homebrew-style.

Cloudy dark amber color; generous creamy head. Nice aroma, spicy wheat, but also a lot of yeast. Good mouthfeel, quite full for a Weizen; some caramel flavor together with the wheat; spicy, not fruity, and the yeast presence is only moderate. Quite strong bitterness. Pleasant.

Bottled (500ml, BB 03/2011)
Deep brown-ruby color, small beige head. Light roastyness, minty, coffee beans, slightly vegetably nose. Light body. Coffee beans, toasted, almost chocolaty flavor. A bit ashy. This is reasonably good but as always, stout should be stronger.
