Jul 8, 2008 Mix franziskaner hefe-weiss with any random dunkel and you’d get this; a heavier, maltier hefe-weisse.

Jul 8, 2008 This looks exactly how you want a Dunkel to look. Rich brown with a dense off-white head that leaves very strong lacing. Aroma is very pleasant - subtle spice and deep clove. Very well-balanced aroma that intensifies as the beer begins to warm slightly. A bit watery on the palate but very refreshing. I enjoy the Dunkel style. Doesn’t quite measure up to Ayinger’s but still would highly recommend this for the style.

Jul 8, 2008 Franziskaner Hefe-Weissbier Dunkel is a cloudy, marvelously brown beer. It’s very sparkling and wears a dense, splotchy, oily, off-white head that leaves nice lacing. The aroma is spicy: banana and nutmeg, mostly. It’s pretty light bodied, a little watery, but reasonably smooth. The flavor is pretty faint. It’s fruity like raisins and spicy like clove and nutmeg. It’s sessionable, refreshing.

Jul 6, 2008 THOUGHTS: Very nice. Aroma just kept getting better as it warmed. The flavor is a little watery, but that’s all the better for a summer refresher. I actually think these darker wheats are more refreshing than the lighter ones.
TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a murky, light to medium brown with an average-sized, off-white head that mostly diminished and left fair lacing. The aroma was wheat, spices, banana and very light chocolate malt. The initial flavor was lightly sweet and acidic; while the finish was light to moderately sweet, moderately acidic and a little sour with an average to long duration. There was malt, wheat, yeast and spice. Also some banana and slight chocolate. The light to medium body was dry with quite fizzy carbonation and a light astringent and also dry finish.

Jul 2, 2008 Pours cloudy amber brown with a fizzy off-white head. Subtle fruity aroma with a bit of yeast. Flavor is slightly fruity, with a bit of sugary malt, but very watered down. Palate is light and a bit fizzy, but not unpleasant. Not bad, but a bit off for the style.

Jun 27, 2008 Pours dark brown and cloudy. The Aroma and initial taste is yeast and malt. Then the fruity flavors arrive. Creamy and smooth. On of my favorite beers.
I had this in Munich but am reviewing this from bottles.
