Bürgerbräu Wolnzacher Roggenbier

Brewed by Bürgerbräu Wolnzach
Style: Specialty Grain
Wolnzach, Germany

bottle-pours murky/cloudy orange with a fizzy white head. very oxidized aroma with tons of sourness with a touch of german malts (toasted grains). flavors are overly sour-way too much. its really badly oxidized. I must revisit this highly rated rye beer sometime soon.

Don’t see too many dunkelweizens, and the label doesn’t make it clear what type of beer this is. I absolutely love this style, I must admit to bias. Pours a cloudy golden amber with a fizzy off-wihte head. My bottle has lots of large chunks of floccolated yeast moving around in circles. Aroma of banana, citrus, floral Hallertauer and toasted malts. Taste is yeasty with citrus and lightly aromatic malts. Body is murky with medium carbonation. This bottle was not in good shape, and the beer deserves a rerate.

Starts with a large head of off-white over a dark orange body. Spicy aroma, caramel with some ginger and apple. Lightly sweet with a short finish. Not overly complex and a bit thin in the body.

Dark clear copper with a medium off white head. Has a prominent spicy clove aroma. In the flavor, there’s a combintion of tart, fruity, sweet, sour and salty. Notes of caramel, apple, rye, wheat, clove, banana and a little orange zest. Pretty sweet, has enough bitterness to balance it out. Medium bodied with a little too much carbonation for my personal liking. Pretty good head retention.

Poured a murky orange/brown with a small light tan head. Strong sweet banana aroma. Taste is spicy, somewhat sweet, with flavors of banana and cinnamon, with a mild touch of acidity. Very interesting. A nice dunkelweizen. I’m really starting to enjoy this brewer.

22oz bottle w/o freshness date. A dark amber color with a tan head. Big banana aroma followed by a malty/caramel sweetness that finished dryly, with an underlying clover character. Great dunkelweizen character.

What a great beer. Excellent wheat aroma that includes banana and light citrus Some smoke. This might be the cloudiest wheat I have had, dunkel or otherwise. Lots of sediment, and a rich brown color. Flavor is sweet wheat complimented by smoke, citrus, banana, and a light herbal/vegetable quality. Heavy. Outstanding.

This is a grand, historically accurate example of the dunkelweizen style, but be ready to pour right when you open this one -- the excellent spontaneous carbonation of this beer led it to crawl out the neck of the bottle! Unique, cloudy cream soda color and tons of sediment cloud the glass to a center-opaqueness with light visible at the sides. First sniff from the bottle said "skunk" -- but this was totally a perceptual illusion, as aged fruity aromas of ginger and Nestea w/lemon emanate from the glass. Flavor is bountiful in fruit maltiness of a quality not far less than a top-quality Belgian brune -- with a unique German dark cerealgrain-prune twist, perhaps imparted by the rye used. Hearty body and sharp alcohol finish with a soft mouthfeel. Very impressive beer!
