Pours dark brown, with beige head
Aroma is light and fruity, hints of roasted malts and the grainy scent was very present, possibly some light coffee.
Flavor malty, light coffee and roast. Sweet grainy palate with hints of hops and a nice caramel finish.
Some rye and chocolate, light spices followed by dark fruits. Medium carbonation.
This is yet another tasty treat by New Glarus. brewolf (44), Washington, USA
| 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Oct 5, 2009 Chewy, dark, bready, yeasty, with sublime spicing and outrageous mouthfeel. Although well-recognized within its ’category’, I feel this brew is underrated. Smoked honey-ham, thick pumpernickel, and sweet autumn spices make this a real feast for the senses. Depth and foam like the sea ... dark secrets revealed. monkeychugg55 (231), Joliet, Illinois, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 4, 2009 Pours near black with a small tan head. The aroma was steak sauce, roasted wheat, caramel, chocolate and clove. The flavor is roasted coffee, caramel, yeast, and clove. Darkest dunkelweizen ever. Very robust and delicious. Silky mouthfeel with prickly carbonation. tmoreau (579), Lombard, Illinois, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 1, 2009 12 oz. bottle at Lunar Brewing Co. Poured a black/brown with some ruby tones showing through. The head was light tan and bubbly, leaving some curtains and strands of clingy lacing. The aroma was soft wheat, a touch of caramel, a little sweetness, and light tartness. The flavor was some roasted and toasted qualities and light spice hints. Nice complexity all around, with good carbonation and a dry finish. blklab2007 (964), Connecticut, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 30, 2009 bottle poured a dark nutty brown with a fizzy one finger tan head. aroma has roasted chocolate malt, burnt caramel, lightly banana spiced yeast, and some richness almost like oats. light mouth feel for such a dark looking beer with plenty of carbonation. flavor again has roast, dark chocolate malt, faint bitterness, and spiced yeast. reading the label now i see there is some oats in here and it gives both the aroma and the flavor a nice richness. scrizzz (1280), kirkland, Washington, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 29, 2009 Dark coffee body, dense tight thick creamy white head, looking closely you can see a aggressive rising stream of bubbles. Dusty milk chocolate nose, with ripe banana and clove esters. Baking chocolate and a creamy body. Dry finish. tedovertu (260), Apple Valley, Minnesota, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 23, 2009 A dunkelweizen?? This is more a porter or a brown in style. Pitch black with clove and dark chocolate flavor. This is the third time trying to rate this one. Rate beer rather unstable lately. highlandlad (1258), Sydney, Australia
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 18, 2009 The least satisfying of three New Glarus wheat beers generously transported to Australia by Oslo. Black with a fast-vanishing head. Mild chocolate and molasses with some clove spiciness in the finish. Very easy drinking but short on character.
