Hacker-Pschorr Dunkle Weisse

Brewed by Paulaner Brauerei (Schörghuber)
Style: Dunkelweizen
Munich, Germany

Dark brown colored, strongly cloudy appearance. Medium sized light brown head. Nice banana and grains in aroma, even mild chocolate there. Thin to medium bodied. Flavor is somehow watery with grainy banana, yeast and mild spices. Nice aroma, flavor could be stronger. Somehow round aftertaste.

(Bottled) Murky darkish brown with a small head. A bit dull, slightly roasty aroma with mild roastiness. Bready, banana-fruity flavor with some sweetish-roasty malt. Medium-bodied palate with balanced carbonation. Balanced and very easily drinkable, but nothing really special.

A pretty on-par dunkleweizen with lots of esters on the nose and tongue. doesn’t really pair well with a cigar. it gives it some type of cherry taste. nevertheless, you can’t go wrong with a dunkleweizen on the first 80 degree day of the year.

Bottle, pours with a great, fluffy head, as any good weizen will. Aroma very nice, with strong clove notes, mild banana (my least favorite thing about weizens), and a nice bit of earthiness from the dark malt. Flavor matches the aroma note-for-note. Palate is lively, with high carbonation. I really enjoy this beer, much more than I like the typical hellweizen.

Crisp and clean with no attitude. That can be a good and bad thing.Pour was a light brown with 1 finger head. Aroma was of malt. Taste was roasted malt with a wheat-y kick and carbonation.Good middle of the road beer.

Pours a wonderful earthy brown color, cloudy, short-lasting head. Nice pungent smokiness to the aroma, also some hay, toast, cloves. On the meatier side of the aroma, rather than fruity. The taste brings a bit more fruit though. Tart citrus and toasty flavor, some slight oranges in the back of the throat. Dry finish that’s very mellow. Mouthfeel was not as carbonated and a bit slicker than expected. Good bready taste, but more tart than expected. Are dunkelweizens supposed to be fruitier? Anyway, this was pretty decent, but I might like normal hefe better.

Pours a cloudy dirty brown. Nice nose of banana, sweet malt, a biscuity sweetness, and a nice touch of spice. Great medium carbonation with a good dose of banana bread like sweetness as well as an earthy biscuity flavor, as well as a good German estery spiciness. A great underappreciated beer.

Poured from a 12 ounce bottle into a pint glass, cloudy brown with a thick tan head and a fair amount of floaters. The aroma was a big dose of malt with a touch of citrus. The flavor was of wheat and sweet malt with notes of fruit and citrus. Very smooth with little or no bitterness. A solid session beer.
