Commercial Description:
Literally "dark wheat beer", it is made from the same wheat malt and yeast as the Weissbier plus a little something which gives a more pronounced malty aroma and flavor. Dunkel is chocolate dark with a first hint of sweetness, but a dry finish.

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.

Cloudy brown colour with a quickly disappearing head. Cocoa aroma, bannana flavour, thin bodied. Fairly fruity flavour with a hint of chocolate. mmmmmm...... chocolate bananas.

Tasted several times but notes finally jotted down on 01/08/2006. Limited re-release, amped up to a stronger 6.3% (but still with Beer Ledgend’s banana lump thing going on). Murky dark chestnut with ruddy highlights and a briefly balooning airy light tan head. Stunning aroma of chocolate, banana and fresh wheat, which has toned down over the last couple of weeks. It’s getting more wheaty and displaying light phenolic notes. Soft grainy sweetness up front, with a subtle hint of spice and cocoa through the middle, then a slightly tart, dry finish. A bit thin and prickly in the mouth at first, which detracts from the flavour, but this softens up as the beer breaths. Very nice. Tyrell loves it.

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
