Dec 31, 2008 Cloudy dark brown with a tan head that lowers quickly.
Chocolaty malt aroma with apricot, banana, caramel and some yeast. Some mild hops in there.
Flavours of milk chocolate malt and ripe banana. Caramel, with a hint of licorice. Some fruity plum tones.
A clean mouthfeel, yet creamy.
Rather watered down flavours, but overall very nice. Finishes with a mild hoppy bitterness and caramel.

Aug 24, 2008 Smells like caramelised bananas. Auburn, with a white head. Chocolate and then bananas, with a dy, slightly spicy finish. It got better as it warmed up and lost some carbonation.

Aug 11, 2008 Limited edition bottle 2008, pours a slightly cloudy brown with a foamy off-white head. A strong yeasty aroma, as you would expect from a here-weizen, with caramal and some cloves. Quite roasted and dry, with plenty of chocolate and caramal on the palate, and sweetish banana yeast. The finish is a touch thin, with a cleansing carbonation and a hint of tartness.

Apr 2, 2007 500ml b/b Aug 07. Pours like a glass of coke with a persistant thin crema head. Caramello & banana aromas. Creamy, buttery palate, muted choc & a touch of wheat and spice but quite a round sweet finish with a final char note. Nice enough

Feb 19, 2007 6.3 % maybe weizenbock instead of dunkelweiss. Best before Oct 07.
Creamy tan head quick to dissipate. Mahogany brown, swirled in the yeast giving a light tarnished cloudiness.
Alcohol noticeable in the aroma, muted chocolate and banana. Disappointingly not getting the banana lump described by beer_ledgend, although I do recall the same from earlier tastings. Possibly a little past best.
Head completely gone. Light carbonation.
Dry finish. Medium mouthfeel. Low bitterness.

Oct 10, 2006 Tremdous stuff, A strong a drak and a wheat beer all in one, what a mix yet not overpowering. Hopefully following a trophy at BrewNZ to become a regular drop rather than just a seasonal!!

Oct 3, 2006 Tried this years 6.3% version. Lovely big banana and spicey clove aroma that continues through to the flavour. Murky amber brown in colour with a very vigorous fluffy head. Fruity and spicey flavour with a dry finish that leaves you wanting more! To my mind the best of the Emersons range so i bought a dozen!
