The Über-Weiße from Baron Brewing is a hearty beer. Their website calls it a Weizenstarkbier, which we'd call a wheat doppelbock, and it stands up to the name. It pours dark and opaque with a thin tan head what proved to have little retention, and on the nose it is an orchestra of roasted malts, banana, coffee, and chocolate.
It lives up to its appearance, with a thick, hearty mouth feel with a lively effervescence. The yeast gives off notes of banana, which mingle happily with the chocolatey, roasted-coffee flavors that dominate this strong, dark beer. It's an impressive take on a German wheat doppelbock, that's for sure, and I'd recommend giving this beer a try, even if doppelbocks aren't your thing.
