New Glarus Black Wheat

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

Bottle. Poured an opaque brown-black with a brown head that dissipated quickly. Spicy nose with moderate maltiness....hefe like. Flavor is even more pronounced with spice--clovey, banana-like. Caramel roasted malts are there too. A wee too thin for me, but I liked the dry roasty finish. Nice ale.

way dark for what i expected and it seemed really carbonated and full of head. tasted alot like a veggie/spice beer, with like roots and dirt and stuff. Im not pickin up on the vibe here for this one.

first i must give thanks to jcapriotti for this bonus brew in our trade.the black wheat pours a muddy water looking brown with a 1 inch thick light brown head.the aromas i gathered were earth,malts,and spices.the flavor was nice and complex and the palate changed for several seconds.my tounge grabbed a mix of popcorn,wheat,banana,and a tad bit of chocolate.this is pretty good stuff.

not solid black, but very dark with a tan hued head. smells like a snickers bar. that’s a new one for me, but it is apt, just like a damn snickers bar, weird. wow, taste is a nice caramel sweetness with some strawberry jam hiding behind it. roasted finish that is like the smell of a smoker that has sat out for a few days since it’s last use. lingering peppery spice keeps my tongue awake. i’m really enjoying this and i havcen’t gotten half way through this one. banana notes are coming out in this now in both the flavor and aroma. chaocolate flavors emerge. so much flavor hidden in this one. a truly remarkable beer. best beer i’ve had in a while. i will get more next winter. thanks for supplying this one bbb63, i am in your debt even more.

Bottle. Wow, this is an interesting beer. Pours dark black and has a nice thick head that fades. Smells of yeast, clove, and banana dominate here. Also, there is a roasted grain with a smoky and light chocolate aroma as well. The taste...this beer is throwing a ton of stuff out here. Tastes of clove, banana, and cinnamon. There is a roasted note of malt and smoke after the swallow that is apparent after it warms up. Very interesting but tasty beer!

Pours an opaque brown black with a light tan creamy head. Clove and cocoa aromatics. Slight roastiness is complemented by diverse ester characters of cinnamon, banana, and slight clove. A spicy sweetness of cocoa and esters comprises the finish. Mouthfeel is smooth yet full.

Pours black with a huge tan head that stays. Aroma is of hay, slight barnyard, espresso, mild bitter chocolate, and a subtle banana. Flavor is espresso, bitter cocoa, banana, and a slight hay. Very flavorful yet light and very drinkable. Nice beer.

12 oz bottle received from hezron (thanks bro), poured into my Back Road Brewery standard American pint glass. Murky brown with a long standing tan head. Rich bready, chocolatey, clovey aroma. Not very assertive. Bitter chocolate wheat flavors. Very drying. Med/Full bodied. Not a fan of wheat beers, but alway up for something new. Thanks a millions hezron.
