New Glarus Black Wheat

Brewed by New Glarus Brewing Company
Style: Dunkelweizen
New Glarus, Wisconsin USA

Thanks to Hezron (I think) for this one. This was the most "weizen" dunkelweizen I think I’ve ever had. While definitely dark, with lots of roasted malt flavor coming through, this one had the pronounced banana/bubblegum flavor of a classic hefeweizen. I really appreciated the juxtaposition of the two aspects.

Very dark and thin bodied with tastes of spices, coffee, malt and a bunch of other stuff that I cant even begin to remember. Very strong alcoholic warming effect after the swallow.

A big Thank You to some forgotten RateBeerian for this beer! It’s been in my frige for several months now.

Pours a murky ink black/brown body and a tall khaki head. the aroma hints of banana, bubblegum, coco, almonds, a split vanilla bean, and red apples. The flavor has a raw chocolaty appreciation, with suggestions of coconut milk and Bananas Foster … Black Wheat was at it’s best once it warmed almost to room temperature.

(Bottle) Pours a murky dark brown with a medium tan head. Aroma of roastiness, grape, licorice, smoke, rye, florals, and freshly ground corn feed. Flavor of wheat, molasses, toasted oats, rye bread, and spices.

From notes dated 2005. Pours a dark oak color with a tan head. Aroma of Mexican chocolate with spices poured over a banana. Taste is a dark bread, slightly spicey, lots of yeast. Compared to the Euro Dunkels this was vastly superior in all aspects, especially aroma in that it maintained a Hefe quality.

got this a couple of years ago in a trade but I do not know who but a big thank you. poured black with a brown head. aroma malts, dark cherries, chocolate, cinnamon as it warmed. flavor roasted malts cherries, cinnamon, dark fruits just a hint of wheat. this is a very good beer nice clean finish.

dark brown, almost black body with minimal beige head...aroma of heavy wheat, banana, and chocolate..flavor is large in chocolate, marshmallow, wheat, light caramel and toffee, with a baltic porter backround of toasted, nutty coffee..creamy, enveloping palate

Bottle from CaptainCougar. Appearance of carbonated prune juice- a murky, dirty dark orange-brown, topped by a thin ring of tan carbonation. Complex, inviting aroma I can best characterize as a banana split, with chocolate-covered banana, clove, and caramel notes. Toasty, rich body with a delicate brown sugar sweetness, layered breads, with abundant banana and clove. Distinct chocolate finish. Soft mouthfeel. A fantastic wheat beer.
