brownish copper pour with a nice frothy offwhite head. vinious, some banana, clove, caramel sweetness in the nose. nice bready character, taste is somewhat like the aroma, tiny bit of roast in the malt, some light fruity nuttiness. finish is a little watery. Overall a great offering, pleasing

Copper brown pour with one finger beige froth. Aroma is caramel, ripe fruit, nectar, vinousness, and some brown sugar. Flavor is bready, biscuity caramel with lingering over ripe fruit sweetness. Clove and nutmeg are evident. Palate is a tad thin, quite carbonated, and thoroughly dry in the finish. Quite interesting.

First off it was a lot of head to navigate through. The smell was all yeast and malt. taste was mostly malt with a bit of nuttiness, like licking walnut shells. A decent beer but I should try some more from the style.

Poured 10% beer and 90% head - it just exploded in the glass. A nice light tan thick head remained the whole time and the lacing was decent enough. Amazing looking brew - brown/slight orange cloudy muck - reminded me of when my fat german friend A-bombed his colossal ass into a pristine pool 2km into a cave. Aroma is a bit weak and unique, but the yeast is very prominent, secondary are the cloves, stinky banana (maybe, but it’s something a bit unsettling) (weak) and maybe nuts, not that I’d know what nuts smell like... - smells slightly sweet, crisp and dry. Yeast is the first thing to hit the mouth and it’s fairly big. There’s a bit of dark malt in there. Sour. Sourness that sticks around behind the molars. Maybe a hint of bananas and dry and somewhat empty. Beer massages the tongue with its sour yeasty assault and leaves the mouth tingling. Found myself tasting but avoiding smelling it. Highly drinkable but mysterious at the same time - could be better, but I’ve never had a dunkel hefe-weisse before, so maybe I’m just unedumicated in the style.

Bottle. Hazy dark brown colour with a nice white head. Aroma is malt, banana and yeast. The flavour is banana, wheat and yeast with spicy notes. Not the best dunkelweizen I have had, but still quite tasty.

Bottle. Pours a hazy dark brown with a nice frothy white head. Aroma of spice, banana, and wheat. Flavor is much the same. Very tasty, but I was slightly disappointed the flavor wasn’t stronger. Still this is a very refreshing tasty brew.

Nice color. The aroma is a tad faint but ok. A good wheaty taste. I really like this one.
