May 5, 2007 Bottled. a cloudy red/brown beer with agiant and persistent beige foam. Fruity and yeasty aroma. Light acidic taste with notes of cloves. Not a very strong body. Quite good, but I prefer the pale version.

May 4, 2007 16.9 oz. bottle. Powerful bubblegum aroma. Lemon and toffee scents. Yeasty smell. Pours a hazy, light brown with a large amount of thick, frothy, fluffy, cream-colored head. Sharp lemon and milk chocolate flavors. Not very complex but good nonetheless. Little aftertaste. Light to moderate body. Smooth and soft on the palate but lively on the lips. Refreshing and easy to drink. A bit too watery and undercarbonated, preventing a perfect palate score. Like the regular Franziskaner Hefe-Weissbier, the dunkel is very satisfying, although I do prefer the paler original. Better in total than the sum of its parts. A feel good beer even if a simple one.

May 2, 2007 Bottle. Beautiful, dark brown, caramel color. Aroma is much like their helles weiss but, maltier. Nice, fluffy, off-white head. Flavor is also much like the helles weiss but, with a maltier, darker taste. A very good dunkelweiss.

Apr 25, 2007 the banana and the gummy candy touch with the slight astringent seperator makes this a tasters brew. makes you easily want another. the cloudiness adds to a german mystery. good body and the slightly chalky mouthfeel works well in this beer. really, someone made a truly eloquent brew here.

Apr 18, 2007 Malty, with an aroma of toffee. Creamy and satisfying at the palate, with a peppery - cinnamon finish... One of my all-time favorite wheats. (And it is 100% fabulous on tap, too - way better than from the bottle!)

Apr 11, 2007 500 ml bottle in weizen glass. Nicely dense off-white head. Strong banana-clove aroma atop a cloudy honey-gold color. Flavor is mostly a banana bread push with a strong citrus element. The only problem is that the body is really lacking for a dunkel. Were this a straight hef, I might rank it higher, because it’s quite a tasty brew, but I was hoping for more from this one. The price wasn’t bad at the local Tacoma Boys market, so I might try it again later in the summer.
