opaque burnt orange, fine beige head, streaks of lace, rich sweet chocolate and banana aroma, still the rich chocolate and banana flavor but the sweetness is tuned down a notch as would happen with a successive generation yeast,

on tap-pours an off white head and amber color. Aroma is rock candy, medium malt/wheat-caramel, clove. Taste is rock candy, medium malt/wheat-caramel, clove, banana. Smooth. OK effervescence.

Tap at the brewpub on 2/2/08: Pours a hazy dark copper with a well-lacing frothy off-white head. Aroma of lightly sweet doughy dark caramel malts and a touch of lemon citrus. Starts semi-sweet and toasted wheaty with some bready yeasty balance before a slightly more bitter finish. A pretty decent dunkelweizen.

tap @ Natty Greenes: Poured a cloudy almost dark amber color with a creamy beige head. Aroma of light clove and moderate amounts of banana. The flavor is clovey and phenolic with some wheaty citrus and banana on the finish.

Draft at brewpub. Bronze color with a small head and good lacing. Caramel, grain, banana aroma. Same taste with a bitter finish. Light smokiness. Low carbonation and maybe a tad bit thin.

On tap the brewpub; color was an orange tinted amber with an off white head. Didn’t pick up too much aroma, but there was some wheat, caramel and roasted malt; maybe some spice. Flavor was much of the same, but found it pretty meek. Some chocolate and banana too, with a little more pronounced spice presence. Good, but could have been better.

Copper pour with creamy off white head and lace. Caramel malt aroma. Semi sweet caramel with a nice light fresh finishing bitter. Just a bit thin and a tad foamy. Very solid medium bodied beer. A bit of tartness as well.

Draught at the brewpub. Pours copper-orange-brown with well-formed beige head. The aroma is very clovey with hints of caramel and citrus. The flavor is caramel and clove at first, then some mild fruity esters, especially banana and pineapple. Dark wheat flavors hit in the finish and leave an earthy and spicy aftertaste. Mild acidic tartness in the finish. Respectable dunkel.
