Commercial Description:
Dunkel Weizen is made by adding Crystal and Chocolate malt to our Mountain Avenue Wheat. The yeast is still the predominant flavor component contributing the banana-like aroma and the clove flavor. The additional malts balance the sweetness, giving hints of pumpernickel bread. This is always our last wheat beer of the season.

On tap at the brewpub on 10/14/07: Pours a dark copper amber with a nicely-lacing wispy white head. Aroma of sweet bready caramel German malt and good yeasty character. Body starts fairly full and malty sweet with good doughy caramel and slightly citrusy flavors toward a crisp, drinkable bittersweet finish. A nice dunkelweizen.

Tap @ CooperSmiths: Poured a clear copper color with an off-white head. The aroma was of bananas, clove, and wheaty citrus. Some dark fruits. Sweet as well as a little light chocolate. The flavor is made of chcolate and wheaty citrus with a clove finish. Hints of banana at the end. Light to medium body with a mild to moderate bitterness.

Had on tap at brew pub in old town Fort Collins. Beer pours nut brown, with a thin head that goes a quick enough. Nice flavor that finishes well.

Draught, Coopersmiths, Ft Collins. Head is mostly diminishing. Body is light amber (??). Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain, cookie, caramel), with light notes of banana and clove. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Honestly, if it hadn’t said "Duneklweizen", I might have not even guessed it was supposed to be a dark German wheat. There’s precious little banana or clove character, and it’s quite pale in color. The overall impression was one of vagueness. It’s not bad so much as not achieving what it set out to be.

Draught at CooperSmiths. Pours light brass to bronze with a tiny off-white head and spotty lacing. Wheat malt (cookie, meal) and banana yeast aroma. Wheat malt and yeast flavor with acidic bitter hop notes. Medium and clean, crisp palate.

Light Brown. Light in color, considering the style. Things begins with an interesting and flashy aroma with a huge dose of chocolate covered bananas, heavy clove and nutmeg along with a scoop of Peter Pan’s creamy peanut butter. Decent in flavor with a variety of fruits, clove, strong wheat and a big shot of nuts on the finish (especially cashews). A nice beer that got me interested in the style again.
