Apr 8, 2009 A flavorful and aromatic dunkelweizen. Aroma was near perfect. Strong banana and clove with yeast and little else interfereing. Pour was a nice cloudy dark brown with a one finger near tan head. Taste was strong and wheaty. Heavy on the banana and clove with just touches of roasted malt and a hint of caramel after it warmed. Not as much carbonation as I would like in a dunkelweizen, but most of CBW beers lack that. All in all, solid but middle of the road.

Mar 18, 2009 On tap at the brewpub. Pours a pale brown, orange-tinted with a thin rim in white. Aroma throws a nice crisp classic Weizen yeast aroma. Banana-heavy. Flavor is right in line, with a wonderful combination of freshly slice fall MacIntosh apple, banana puree, and caramelized pear. Very nuanced, juicy and bright. Great flavor profile from the yeast, tinged in a Bananas Foster way with brown sugar and rum. Balanced and crisp. Excellent!

Dec 26, 2008 Draft at brewpub. Pours brown with a small white head, Aroma is subtle spice and wheat with some sweet malty thing going on. Flavor is pretty weak malt and watery. Not great.

Jun 6, 2007 a little sweet. The bannana was apparent. It seemed like it was trying to hide it though. Like this beer was embarassed of tasting like bannana. Many of these tuff guy beers that have a little fruity flavor need to come out of the closet me thinks. being fruity is nothing to be ashamed of.

May 20, 2007 my first taste of a dunkelweizen. a very nice dark wheat with moderate carbonation. the malts are a nice complement to the light yeast flavor. i just had a brief taste but this is a really nice flavorful beer. i’ll have to rerate when i’ve had a proper glass.

Apr 24, 2007 Growler from Church. Dark brown body with small tan head. Aroma of wheat, yeast, bread. Flavor has some sweet, dark fruity malts and some dough and yeast. Slightly metallic finish.

Apr 19, 2007 Dark coppery mahoganey body, off-white lasting creamy head. Nice sweet fruity wheat body. What is a little stale, but it is okay and the yeasty esters give it a nice character, similar to a good NG wheat. Pretty good.
