Batch 5 - notched on the label. Picked this up on a whim a couple of years ago, knowing that it was very old (I think this was brewed in 2012), knowing that BFM haven't thrilled me over the decades, and knowing that I would likely get very little...
That truly beautiful, bright lemon colored body that you'll usually get from a Weizenbock, with the requisite high head. The head is a little bubbly rather than fluffy. As a result, retention and lace about average, possibly a little less than, so...
Additional notes 01/27/23 Pictured Dark chestnut pour. A few red highlights, but overall the beer is darker than most I’ve had in the style. Modest head, small ring of foam and no lace. Rich, light alcohol nose, very malty. Reflected in the initial...
Described on the label by Terrapin as a ‘hoax’, these are some of the truest words uttered by a brewery ever! Ugly, Dubbel like pour. Close to zero head retention and lace. Nose has more chocolate than anything else. It does what is says on the...
Dark brown pour. Quite highly carbonated for the ABV and the style. Thin, creamy head with a thickish collar. Nose has requisite bubble gum nose. 11.1 % is evident but manageable. Smooth with a sweet, light alcoholic burn. I detect some fruity...
Light chestnut brown pour with some nice clarity. Head is a little smaller than one would anticipate.and the retention is not strong. Well, Weizenbock? Really? I get some simply light nutty character, which is more in line with what might be...
It's an attractive presentation in the dimpled, very heavy, olive green bottle, and at $16.99 I KNOW this contributes to the price (I'm not naive), but I like the look with the hanging neck label and paper-sealed, cap. A 'bottle fermented wheat...
Had you asked me in advance of tasting any of the Best of Beer Camp Beers, I would have predicted that the Weizenbock would have been my favorite, so let's see if the theory is born out in the practice with this one. Pour is a very rich,...
Additional notes 05/27/17 My kind of beer. 8.7%, 22 oz serving, 34 IBUs and an OG of 1.084. Golden orange pour with a wispy, medium density white head. Big 'ole yeasty, malty nose, even at a low temperature. Carbonation is lively, and enough to get...
Lovely, another Abita Select and to be honest after some initial scepticism on my part I've been increasingly pleased with some of their efforts. It seems as though most Taco Macs in the Atlanta area have installed a permanent Abita Select tap;...
12 oz stubbie as per usual from SA in the DR series. Pour is a dark, dark brown essentially black with a fizzy, coffee colored head. Retention and lace not great. Nice dark estery malts and fruit in the nose. Tastes reflect some of those traits but...
Additional notes 2/8/23 (pictured) Gratified that the beer goes into the same glass that it did 11 years ago. In fact there's something poetic about that, because all of the notes that I made back then (below) are essentially reflected in this 2023...
This has been a long time coming for me. Although we've had Victory in GA for quite some time, we still got get many of their seasonals and specials, and Moonglow is one that we continue to miss out on. This came from the Charleston Beer Exchange...
Additional notes 02/02/23 (pictured) Still an amazingly drinkable beer with rich, deep flavors that coupled with the alcohol offer once of those deeply satisfying experiences. Vitus has been a favorite now for the best part of 20 years for me, and...
22oz bottle, $3.99 from Green's on Ponce, Atlanta, GA, USA. Weyerbacher is new to GA in the last week or so and although I have had most of their offerings before, this and the XIII are new to me. Poured into the Tucher 500mL Weizen glass this...
So this is the US version of this collab, my understanding being that the two beers are slightly different. $11.99 from Green's on Ponce, Atlanta, GA, USA. GREAT looking 750mL corked & caged bottle, a super looking presentation. It pours a...
12 oz single from the Grape and Weizenbock mixed pack in 2008. Turbid brown, somewhat unattractive, but fairly standard look for the style. Nice, high head with good density. Some lace. Chocolate milk colored body. Decent carbonation. Usually the...
Green's on Ponce, Atlanta, GA, USA. $4.99, 22oz bomber, gold foiled top presentation as usual for the series. A mixed bag for the appearance; great, deep garnet color with good clarity, but the almost complete lack of carbonation, head and lace is...
Unusual to find this as a single, 12 oz bottle in Marietta, GA, USA. Batch #05. Pour is good looking with a nice, dense bone-white head with some nice lace. Body has a typical Weizenbock color - deep, bright brown with cloudiness from the lack of...
Bought as a single from Jax, Sandy Springs, Atlanta, GA, USA. March 2008 notched on the label. One of my favorite styles. Nice, rich looking brown pour with a creamy mouthfeel and plenty of body. Lots of bold malt upfront and all the way through to...
Additional notes 10/06/23 (pictured) Another beer that I never thought I'd see again. Poured into exactly the same glass as I did 16+ years ago. Label carries the old TAP 05 moniker. Still that iced-tea look, that although understandable for the...
500 mL bottle, Tower, Piedmont, Atlanta, GA, USA. Nice looking with a decent darkish amber body and some attractive head. Very light lacing, decent carbonation. In typical Heller-Trum style, the aroma is a basically a side of smoked ham in a glass!...
One of my favorite styles. Thanks to Matt (AKA BA SilentSabre), and ultimately BeerBeing. Poured into the Tucher Weizen glass, it's pretty much all black with a few brown highlights at the edges. Nice half-inch tan colored head forms on the pour,...
Pictured 08/03/24 So, at 18 years old, this is surprising. It pours with great color, even a small head, and it's actually "drinkable" in as much as the oxidation is not terrible and it's not 'undrinkable' - LOL. There's a burned taste, absolutely...
Thanks to BigLove as part of BCG BIF. 500 mL bottle. Massive rocky headed pour, and the head is very airy and falls away quickly. Leaves little or no lacing and a tiny residue on the surface of the beer. Typical deep mahogany color with the...
750 mL in a corked and caged bottle. In general it's $11.99 in the Atlanta area. Lovely looking, red bronzed pour in the Tucher Weizen 0.5 L glass with a equally good looking head and some substantial lacing. Cloves, banana and caramel in the nose....
Additional notes 02/06/21 A relatively rare draft sighting that smooths out a lot of the size of this beer and offers just a delightful, warming experience. It's still as big on draft as you'd expect, but the keg seems to even out some of the sharp...
