Jun 28, 2009 Personal preference here.. I don’t like weizens that much. I love the roasted barley and the chocolate, but then the nasty clove banana hits. Fantastic nose.
Sort of dry. I wish I liked weizens, because I can tell this is obviously a beer of the highest quality. Just not to taste.

Jun 27, 2009 Thanks to Ughsmash for this trade. Almost as good a dark wheat beer as Aventinus - and that’s no faint praise!

Jun 24, 2009 Bottle via trade. Darkest brown in color with a one-finger tan head. Roasty, smoky, chocolaty aroma. Flavor is porter-like roast combined with wheat and spices, finishing with lingering chocolate. Palate medium and fairly smooth. Another winner from New Glarus.

Jun 24, 2009 Wheat, oats, rye, barley; bottle-conditioned. Motor oil black w/ huge, rich tan, effervescent head. Smokey aroma, dark chocolate, deep roasted malts. Presence of wheat also detectable in nose. Clove and cinnamon alongside breadiness and faint esters. Reminiscent of fresh, dark roasted coffee beans. Tastes as it smells but with a dynamic stout flavor of rich chocolate, caramel, and coffee. Thirst-quenching, contemplative, curious, complex. Finishes slightly dry w/ lingering roast character and faint taste of wheat. Their best beer.

Jun 24, 2009 Bottle thanks to Ughsmash! Pour is dark dark brown with fairly large tan head. Aroma is coffee, wheat, chocolate, and dark malt. Flavor is espresso, cigar ash, roasted wheat?, campfire, and hints of chocolate. Definitely has a distinct burned/ashy flavor that is not displeasing. Creates a lot of complexity. Interesting and delicious stuff.

Jun 23, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours super brown with a scraggy white head. Effervescence carries with it a stellar aroma of roast, spice and cocoa. Taste has coffee and cocoa with a cinnamon finish. Nice and bubbly with a light-to-medium body. Among NG’s best beers and another example of their mastery of wheat beers.
