Is a weizenbock supposed to be this deliciously balanced between cloves and banana esters and malt sweetness? Cause this is delicious!

Darkest hefe ever? Definitely delish though, love the canned unfiltered-ness. Nice banana and spices.

0,5 l bottle. Dark mahagoni with a huge more than three finger head in the glass. Banana, chewing gum and sulfur on the nose. Taste starts with dry malt, roasted, some banana, dark berries and yeast. Alcoholic in a positive way. Nice one.

0,5 l bottle. A clear darkest red brown with an huge more than two finger foamy liegt beige head. Looks really good. Malty caramel smell. Taste is more roasty than expected, dry bitter hop with caramel and hop. Long lasting aftertaste.

Bottle picked up from Michael Planck brewery webshop, and consumed at home Tuesday 14th September 2021 whilst cooking a Seafood Stew and listening to Steve Lamaqs Evening Session on 6 Music. Pours warm gold with a white head, only a light haze. Fruity but the banana and clove elements are really shy here. Light sweetness, it's ok, actually it's better than ok but not amazing.

Bottle picked up in a mixed case from the brewery webshop and consumed at home sat outside, it's been a very hot 🔥 weekend but looks feels like we may get a thunderstorm soon, had this Sunday 15th August 2021 cooking a homemade Canelloni and about to put on some tunes. Pours dark amber, hazy, mid sized but not hugely impressive white head. Nice mouthfeel, soft, light banana, however not so noticeable on the aroma. Trying this alongside the masters of this style namely Schneider Weisse. Good beer but in terms of their output I prefer their lagers.

0,5 l bottle. Clear golden with an huge more than two finger white foamy head. Smooth intensive grainy caramel on the nose. Taste starts grainy, present bitter hop, increasing strong malt in the background, bready elements. Mid carbonated. Interesting stuff.
