Jan 19, 2009 Bottle. A murky, very dark brown with a very full and lasting, fluffy beige head; sticky, scattered lacing. Delicate chocolate and banana aromas. Clean and smooth mouthfeel after the initial fizziness subsides. A liquorice and alcohol flavour profile. Sweet and refreshing, without much in the way of a noticeable wheat taste. A crisp and hoppy bitter finish, though short.

Jan 18, 2009 Bottle. Murky brown colour with rapidly thinning beige head. Little aroma or, for that matter, flavour. A little sweet and a decent light palate. Uncomplicated beer. Not great, not bad.

Jan 16, 2009 Bottled. Dark brown with large beige head. Caramel, wheat and banana aroma and taste. Good carbonation with a lingering bitterness in the finish.

Jan 16, 2009 Updated: Sep 23, 2009Dark ruby brown apperarance with thick, lasting beige head. Faint aroma of coffee and barley. The flavor is more like a
Dunkel lager not a Dunkelweizen. It has a very minimal wheat character.

Jan 15, 2009 <i>500 ml bottle from LCBO, served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass. DE05/08.</i>
<b>App.</b>: Murky deep cola brown a moderate off-white head.
<b>Aroma</b>: Minty herbals, dark dried fruits, sweet cherries, bubblegum esters, slightly tangy fruitiness, a bit of yeast and bread dough.
<b>Palate</b>: Medium body and somewhat sparse effervescence.
<b>Flav.</b>: Less than the nose, still some minty herbals, more yeast, a bit of dark dried fruit and caramel, much less esters (still present), slightly woody; a little off-dry, very low bitterness with a bit of lingering brown sugar.
Nice stuff, a bit disappointing in the mouth.

Jan 11, 2009 Bouteille de 500 ml. La bière est de couleur rubis avec un col de mousse fauve modeste. Au nez on découvre des arômes de banane brune, de sucre brun et de céréales. En bouche le corps est mince avec une effervescence faible-moyenne. On goûte des saveurs de blé, de bananes grillées, de céréales ainsi qu’une légère présence de houblon.

Jan 11, 2009 Pours a dark brown, darker than just about any other wheat beer Ive had. Aroma is, as you would expect, wheaty and roasty. Flavor isnt as present as I would expect. Bit of roasty and rather dry. Not bad. Not wonderful. Rather disappointing after having the regular Hefe.

Jan 9, 2009 500ml bottle with gift pack from LCBO. A lot less flavour in this beer than I was expecting, although what is there is good. Also a lot more carbonation than I expected. Not too shabby.
