Guinnessman (88), VACAVILLE, California, USA Feb 20, 2008 One of the best dunkel weisse beers I’ve ever had. Tried it the first time on tap in Stuutgart, Germany. NIce creamy texture, full head, great dessert beer. Try it with a slice of German chocolate cake. imdownthepub (5089), Banbury, Oxfordshire, England Feb 20, 2008 Bottled, 500ml. Dark brown to copper with cream head. Not the heavy flavours that I would expect from this type of beer, some spicyness, banana from the wheat but a slightly dull, dark malt body reduces the experience. A smidgeon of hops in the close, again not enought to raise it to a great beer, but it was ok. TaktikMTL (2745), Montréal-Nord, Quebec, Canada Feb 18, 2008 Bouteille de 500 ml achetée chez ANBL (Dieppe, N-B). Arôme: Odeur de malt avec une pointe fruitée. Apparence: La couleur est brune opaque. Présence d’un moyen col mousseux et d’une large dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût de malt caramélisé avec une pointe chocolatée. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture légèrement huileuse. Faible effervescence en bouche. Légère présence de raisins en arrière goût. (Rating #1478) Davinci (295), Chicago, Illinois, USA Feb 18, 2008 Tasting notes from last year. Bottle. Mild roasty nose with standard banana and cloves. Dark but not black pour with rocky head that sticks around. Flavor is banana,some caramel, and a bit of lager funk. Pretty light body considering and easy to drink, but not terribly exciting. Brix (371), Denmark Feb 16, 2008 Tasted 2008-02-14. Fresh bottle. Pours unclear cola colured with beige head. Aroma: Banana, cloves, caramel. Boring. Flavours: Slightly metallic, otherwise same as aroma. The metal fades, but the beer keeps being boring. jason (1620), Easton, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 13, 2008 Bottle. Poured a deep brown body with nice head. Aroma is malt, chocolate. Taste is sweet malt, dried fruit, chocolate, light yeast. Smooth but the flavor was almost too light for me. CapFlu (3480), Victoria, British Columbia, Canada Feb 12, 2008 (500ml bottle) Purchased at Willows Park in Calgary. Pours a lasting, medium gray-beige head atop a deep copper-brown body. Nose of slight prunes, olives and mellow roasted malt. Flavour is surprisingly different from Aventinus - thinner, small ABV and a good chocolate malt base. Interesting but definitely inferior to the Schneider product. Speedle (262), Mid-Atlantic (Tour 2007-2008), Virginia, USA Feb 12, 2008 pours black with an almost white big head...plenty of lacing as it settles... aroma of light malts .... watery mouthfeel....malt liquor finish with a soapy, pasty after taste .... drinkable but no WOW factor
