Private Weissbierbrauerei G. Schneider & Sohn GmbH
Weizenbock
8.2% ABV
OG?
IBUs?
Undecipherable date code, poured into a Sam Adams perfect pint.
Appearance 4/5
Surprisingly clear, brilliantly burnt brown colored, with a light tan colored huge, dense head that dissipated with soda like fizzing into a rather modest one and, surprisingly, didn't leave any lacing. At first I thought that this was going to be a great looking beer, but as it turned out, not quite.
Aroma 4.5/5
Aroma is, simply put, magnificent: very sweet with dark caramely sweetness and fruity banana sweetness. It does remind of a doppelbock and a hefeweizen at the same time and has all the toasty-caramel notes with the banana-clove-tart hints. Brilliant.
Taste 3/5
Although not as strong as aroma, the taste is equally complex: dominated by banana-caramel flavor, with slightly tannic and slightly bitter finish. Very good until the finish that is excruciatingly sweet and cloying, making it hard to take another sip. Some alcohol helps, but still, the overly sweet aftertaste kills almost all the pleasure derived from drinking this one.
Mouthfeel 2/5
Thin body, but still somehow manages to stay around on the palate as if I drank LME. I don't get it!
Drinkability 2/5
If you chugged it you won't know but as it is, very tough to drink.
