patricks110 (275), Alberta, Canada Aug 12, 2008 A wonderful and tasty beer. Had on tap at Bottlescrew Bills, Calgary AB which is my bar of choice. Pours a deep brown verging on black colour which a huge off white head that remains large. An aroma of roasted malts, almonds and other nuts, caramel, and a hint of fruit. A taste of heat and roast. Peculiar and interesting mouthfeel- the beer is uncarbonated and medium to full bodied. A great dark hefe to compliment their hefeweizzen. Will definately drink again especially on tap at Bottlescrew Bills, Calgary AB. mgermani (862), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Aug 12, 2008 Pours a deep, dark brown with a huge head which collapses to a quarter-inch head with great retention and some lace. Slightly skunky lagerish aroma - light butter, light toastiness, and as it warms, a nice spiciness. Tastes surprisingly pleasant - I don’t normally like this style of beer. Sweet and buttery with a light molasses touch, but with a nice strong & smooth malt backbone. Light metallic taste to the hops, particularly in the finish. A bit undercarbonated, but a good creamy milkshake of a body. I don’t dislike this beer. Would go well with a steak. SHARKY (2), , Germany does not count Aug 9, 2008 Great dark Hefe beer. Not expensive (actually very good value) and a real pleasure to drink on a late summer day in a beer garden. Dark and refreshing, with a mysterious appeal of darkness, but Vorsicht, only drink when you are hungry. It tastes like a fine bread and is a pleasure, for sure, to share with close friends or a Wingman (USAF). imawayforapint (17), , Alberta, Canada Aug 9, 2008 Attractive looking glass of beer. Thick off white head atop a dark brown body. Nothing spectaular to smell or taste though. Bit of clove, bit of banana, bit of biscuity malt. Worth a try though, just not my thing. Although i’ll probably sup one or two again in the future. Nejhleader (924), Lemoyne, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 7, 2008 bit of a sweet malt aroma, dark colour, a little thin body, but has a clover/banana aftertaste to it. rane (493), Nibe, Denmark Aug 7, 2008 Draught. Dark brown with medium pale brown head, long lasting. Aroma of bananas, wheat and cloves. Flavor nice wheat and bananas. Nice. wyzzywyz22 (754), Wirral, Merseyside, England Aug 5, 2008 Soul Cafe, Budapest. Very dark brown colour with a large off white creamyish head. Looked the part. Aroma was brown sugar, malt and some dark fruit. Flavour was pretty malty with some sweetness. Balance was ok. Not bad, just not earth shattering. Probably the best beer of the trip, which isn’t saying much. coldbrewky (716), Saugerties, New York, USA Jul 31, 2008 .5L Bottle Lt to medium body that is smooth and sweet. Nose is minimal caramel. No lacing, and not much carbonation. Mouthfeel is caramel and some powdered sugar. Finish is a bit watery and the wheat is subdued. This is a quite drinkable beer none the less, but a bit off the mark.
