Bottle courtesy of Oslo, Ratebeer tasting under the Bridge 12/9. Bottle. Pours dark black with a thick head that quickly fades. A little yeast, clove, and banana in the aroma that gets drowned out by the roastiness. Smokey malt in the mouth, my least favourite of the three New Glarus i tried today.

Bottle poured a cloudy dark brown with a lasting creamy tan head. Aromas of roasted malt, carmel, spice and light fruittiness. Palate was light to medium bodied and crisp. Flavors of bitter chocolate, spice, light swmoke and light fruittiness with a crisp roasty finish.

Bottle 35,5 cl. Courtesy of TheCheeseMan. Pours a hazy and opaque dark brown with and orange hue and an off-white head. Aroma dominated by roasted malts and a whiff of banana and yeast. Medium body, a little roast and very little banana and yeast. Dry finish. Pleasant alright but very far from style - almost closer to a Brown Ale. 130909

Bottle. Aroma has fleeting glances of banana and clove but is largely consumed with heavily roasted malt (practically to a level of smokiness). Flavor continues to be heavily roasted, charcoal at times, smoldering charcoal in fact, with balancing wheat sweetness and always huge nutty notes. Though I don’t know the style intimately, I would imagine this is a bit over-roasted to fit snugly within it, it’s still a wonderful beer.

Bottle thanks to FlssmrBrewAlum. Pours a dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, roasted nuts, lots of spices (clove, pepper), and crackery malt. Flavor of roasted and crackery malt, lots of roasted nuts, with a background of light spices. Nice and drinkable, certainly one of my favorite dunkelweizens. 8/4/7/4/15 Ɠ.8/5)
