Jul 28, 2009 Bottle. This was very tasty. Dark body and light feel. Has a very peppery smell and flavor to it. Nice roasted malt bite to it. Really like it.

Jul 26, 2009 Thanks to Secret Santa for this one! I had been wanting to try this again for years, the last time I had it was long before my Ratebeer days if I’m remembering correctly. Pours black, slight light tan head. Aroma is faintly roasty, a touch of smoke, and a bit of clove that reminds you that this is in fact a weizen at heart. Flavor has a definite wheat component with a faint bit of coffee, much less roast than the nose indicated. Yeast phenols were quite restrained, just a bit of clove to keep things interesting. Enjoyable, I sort of wish it had been pushed further though.

Jul 24, 2009 Bottle thanks to CanIHave4Beers. Thanks, Andy! Pours... black (surprise) with thinner head than most NG beers. Very roasty/toasty/smoky... veering from Dunkelweizen territory well into Schwarzland, I think. Smoke and grain and milder banana/clove/yeast. Slightly metallic. Not quite what I expected, but still very good.

Jul 23, 2009 bottle Black, with a thin head. Very wheat aroma, with spice. Cloves and smoke are the dominate flavors, finishing in a sickly wheat tang.

Jul 22, 2009 Draft at The Old Fashioned, Madison. Deep brown-black color. Sweet and malty, with a very drinkable body and mouthfeel. Some very mild sandy hop balance. Somewhat straightforward Dunkel tastes, yet delightfully impressive.

Jul 20, 2009 Dark black beer with a thick sticky white head. Very creamy white head. The aroma is loaded with sweet banana, light coffee and cocoa as well as a bit of light spice. Some light bubble gum and light chocolate. the roastiness is quite prominent in here at least on the nose. Lightly tart with a bit of light tart spiciness. Wheaty and tart with a lingering roastiness. It’s okay, but I actually find the heavy roast to be a bit too much.

Jul 20, 2009 From bottle - pours the slightest shade short of pure black with a robust, thick, solid tan head which recedes very slowly. Aroma is sweet and malty with hints of coffee, caramel and wheat notes and a hint of spice. Flavor is full with lots of wheat and yeast, banana, clove, bubble gum, and an abundance of caramel malt. Also catching a bit of roasted coffee in here, but that is in the background...lots of the Dancing Man in here, but true to the Dunkel style. Palate is moderate and a bit high on the carbonation, but pleasant overall. Another solid effort from the folks in rural WI!
