A dark yellow and murky beer, a head is medium and blond. Aroma has wheat, sweet fruitness, some spicyness. Taste has wheat and surprisingly strong fruitness, which has sweetness and strenght of dried fruits. Medium+ bodied. Unique fruitness, which is not usually in the weizenbock. Interesting and nice beer.

(Bottle) Golden colour, slightly hazy, with frothy off-white head. Fruity, spicy nose with white bread, citrus, banana, clove and coriander seed. Malty, spicy taste with notes of bread, coriander, banana, clove, citrus and cereal. Medium body, quite dry. Hardly exceptional, but soft and well balanced. Quite nice.

500ml bottle. Clear, chestnut colour with average, thick, firm, frothy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Sweet-ish, dark malty aroma, notes of malt lozenge, a touch of rock sugar. Taste is minimally dry and minimally sweet dark malty, diluted hints of malt lozenge, a touch of roast, some grassy hop, metallic overtones. Watery texture, dry palate, fine, mildly prickly carbonation. Simple, monotonous, a tad too watery and metallic - still OK.

Rien de transcendant pour cette Karmeliten Sturmbio, relativement pauvre en arômes et en intensité. Heureusement que quelques aromes de miel/chouchen sont présents pour ne pas être dans la plus grande des platitudes....Le visuel est sur un blond dorés quasi limpide sans mousse. Le nez est sur le miel, le chouchen et les céréales. L'attaque, sur les céréales est très légèrement épicée avec une touche de miel. L'intensité est faible un rendu relativement aqueux. Une très légère acidité est présente. On retrouve les arômes présents au nez en seconde bouche avec une intensité qui reste médiocre et un alcool peu vaillant (5 %). La texture est très fine. L'arrière bouche sur des céréales légèrement épicées n'est pas emballante et le final retombe très rapidement. Peu intéressant.
