Commercial Description:
The first Odd Notion to be revealed is Dark Wheat Ale. Brewed with 50 percent malted wheat and lightly hopped, it's an enticingly deep brown, full-bodied ale with a slightly fruity nose of roasted malts. On the palate, it offers a rich roasted malt flavor and a distinctive character endowed with warm notes of cocoa, toffee, and caramel. Drinkers will find it has a low level of malt astringency.Malts: Pale, dark candy sugar, Chocolate, Malted Wheat, Munich. Hops: Hersbrucker SRM: 45.0, Gravity: 1.014, IBU: 25

Draft. Pours a brown body with ruby hues and a one finger off white head. Fruity esters sweet with fructose and malt sugars. Wheat and grainy. okay.

Poured a dark ruby red color. Pretty clear with an off white head. Aroma was very sweet, not much wheat character at all, the candy sugar stuck out though. Flavor was much the same, very sweet and malty, not much wheat characteristics. Not a bad beer, just not much like a wheat.

The aroma is very clean with pine hops, chocolate, and roasted malt. The appearance is red/brown with an average head. The flavor is like the aroma with a bitter and toasty aftertaste. The palate is average. Overall a decent beer.

This was a very deep brown ale with a smooth body and flavor. It wasn’t too hopped up or filled with rich spices, just nice subtle flavors that a dark ale should have. The bottle label reminded of those decorated in Belgium for Christmas such as the Noels or the Still Nacht.

This beer was very good. I am a fan of dark wheat beers and this fit the bill. A high alcohol content makes it a great winter seasonal. I hope it comes back around.
