Fizzy dark amber beer, with pretty much no head despite this - aroma of banana, wheat, rum, phenolic character, artificial cherry smells - very high carbonation in the mouth - strong banana and phenolic flavors - medium sweet, with some notes of bubblegum, cherries, wheat malt tartness - a bit spicy, especially in the throat and on the back of the tongue - some over ripe fruits become apparent late - a decent weizenbock.

Sampled from a 16.9 oz brown bottle this beer poured a caramel-brown color with a huge tan head. The aroma was sweet and fruity with notes of citrus and banana and a hint of clove and bubblegum. The flavor was bitter and tangy with a subdued roastiness and a light note of citrus and banana.

This is a tiny bit under-rated - hazy, honey-colored beer, with almost no head, despite its fizzy body - pretty nice heller bock aroma, with soft floral notes, hints of honey, faint spicy hops, overripe fruits - fairly clean, and dangerously drinkable for its strength - a nice clean cane sugar and honey sweetness makes way for some floral/herbal flavors, and some bright fruity character - hops swell up from behind all of that, giving the finish a hop bite - a little of the alcohol comes up in the finish, but otherwise this is a nice, clean, simple beer, with a little kick.

2 Bottles at the Laid back Brussels Tasting (Feb 9, 2008): one for domestic market and one for export. Points are for the domestic one.
Domestic Deep, hazy brown body. Lightly brown, fizzy to creamy head with an excellent lace. Aroma of caramel, coffee and spices. Excellent aroma (abt like). Lightly bitte, lightly sweet flavour. Not so heavily bodied, nor very complex. Quite nice flavour, but not as nice as the nose would predict. 9/4/8/3/15 = 3.9
Export Clear, brown body. Good lace. Creamy off white head. Malty aroma with some spices. Well balanced aroma but sofrter than the domestic one. Lightly sweet, lightly bitter flavour. Nice, but not as nice as the German one. 8/3/8/3/14 = 3.6

Dull dark brown colour. Small head. Hazy. Depths of dark fruit in the nose with chocolate accents. Sweet but it’s quality maltiness with hints of chocolate, toffee along with lots of plum and raisin. Smooth, unspectacular but quality throughout.
