Nov 15, 2003 Ok first this is my first Dunkle -Weizen..so here goes.
Comes in the usual attractive Ayinger brown euro-style..500ml bottle..nice simple label and again the beautiful cap.
Well this is certainlly much darker beir than the usual Hefe-Weissen..a sort of dark murky gold..with a nice big white frothy, bubbly head.
mm same wonderful aroma of all the good German hefes( something that very few American versions can get)..the spicy esters..banana, clove..backed by that sour wheat aroma wonderful.
This beer has a good wheat profile in the taste and the banana flavour comes through strong in the after taste..nice.
Very pleasant sensation on the tongue!
A most drinkable dunkle..very very nice will try more of this style.

Mar 10, 2005 Pours amber iwth a slight haze. Thick lasting head. Ridiculous carbonation- this one was actually sitting on its side in the trunk of my car and started leaking a bit. I only lost about half an inch from the bottle but I was expecting it to be flat. No, when I cracked that cap this beer popped. Still had immense carbonation. Yeasty aromas with some citrus peels. Good rich flavor and extremely well balanced. Citrus flavor like tangerines come to mind. Quite drinkable. Creamy mouthfeel typical of Ayinger brews.

Jul 8, 2005 Aroma is a slightly sweet fruity lager smell. Appearance is a soft brown with a thin head on top. Flavor is quite nice, very fruity and soft. The breadish flavor comes through nicely, making this a good summer brew.

Jan 28, 2003 This was the best dunkel weizen I have ever had. Nice and fruity and very malty. Highly recommended.

Apr 17, 2008 Bottled. Beautiful carbonation thought this was Weheinstephan in blind tasting. Floral yeasts and clove are delicious in this brew. Was expecting a maltier taste due to the roasted malt appearance. Was pleasantly surprised how drinkable and delicious.

Jun 22, 2003 The second half of the bottle poured an opaque mocha brown, with a small creamy head. Flavor had a bite of lemon and a somewhat gritty palate due to the sediment in the bottle. I will be buying this again.

Sep 22, 2004 Cloudy apricot color with a very nice off white head. Aroma was first banana then yeast then spice (cinnamon,clove). Flavor starts tangy and spicy with a hint of fruit (apple, white grape) and finishes kinda dry with a light banana aftertaste. Palate a little thin, but overall a nice brew.

Jun 23, 2008 From bottle. Pours a beautiful orange with a sizable cream head. Smells of fruit, wheat and malt. Palate features medium body and carbonation. Flavor of mild fruit and wheat. Finishes sweet, spicy with some banana. Really nice “whispy” wheat quality that is crisp and refreshing. Good, but not as vibrant as I had hoped.
