Dunkel lager not a Dunkelweizen. It has a very minimal wheat character. probstk (1025), Nepean, Ontario, Canada

<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. EnSiFeRuM (501), Quebec, Canada

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. thechandler (268), Morgantown, West Virginia, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | 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

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 (203), Waterloo, Ontario, Canada

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 (311), Gloucester, Ontario, Canada

5.6% ABV
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
