thechandler (268), Morgantown, West Virginia, USA 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. stevebail (17), Guelph, Ontario, Canada 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. jimmay (179), Waterloo, Ontario, Canada Jan 2, 2009 Updated: Jan 30, 2009500 ml bottle from LCBO. Pours dark, dark brown, and yes, it’s a little cloudy. Genrous head, with staying power. Taste is primarily roast malt, hint of chocolate. Fine to flat carbonation. cfrancis (291), Gloucester, Ontario, Canada Dec 27, 2008 Dark brown colour with creamy head. Malt flavouring was nice with nice finish of light bitterness. cyrenaica (435), Milton, Ontario, Canada Dec 24, 2008 500ml bottle

I tried this beer on November 27, 2008 after purchasing from one of my local LCBO outlets. The beer poured an opaque dark muddy brown colour with a 3/4" creamy tan coloured head that lasted throughout. The aroma was weak, but definitely had a roasted malt character to it. The mouthfeel was full-bodied, with medium carbonation. The flavour was dominated by roasted malt tones, with some bitterness in the mix Quevillon (1518), Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec, Canada Dec 24, 2008 Bouteille de 500 ml, acheté au LCBO de Rideau et King Edward à Ottawa le 29 novembre 2008. Brune foncée vaseuse, petit collet. Arome légé de malte épicé et un peu torifié. Goût de malte chocolaté faible et un petit peu amère, plutôt aqueuse. Plutôt décevent! hophead75 (1945), Boonton, New Jersey, USA Dec 24, 2008 Dark brown in color with a small light tan head. Aroma of light banana esters, some chocolate, wheat, and some light spices.
Taste: chocolate, lightly estery, lightly spicy. Light to medium bodied- texture is somewhat watery. ILduce (133), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Dec 23, 2008 500ml bottle: Beautiful coffee colour with dissipating fizzy brown head. Lively carbonation. Toasty notes in the nose with dark chocolate. More of the same in the flavour along with hints of licorice and banana; wheat being almost absent. Medium-bodied with a pleasant dry end.
