rlaw (42), USA Oct 24, 2009 Bottle. Pours cloudy reddish brown with a big thick off-white head. Aroma is of lots of sweet fruit (banana and apple, mostly), some musty yeast, and spice. Plus some unpleasantness metallic notes. Flavor is all of that plus some caramel malt and vanilla. Flavor is actually very refreshing; palate is a bit watery; a little short in the back end. JorisPPattyn (5155), Antwerpen, Belgium Oct 13, 2009 Draught Foxy-cream head over fully hazy orange-amber beer. Banana, jumble of fruity esters, sweet-sour, solvent. Sweet-sour, some wholemeal notes, and lots of fruit, mainly banana. Well-bodied, very (wheat)slick; long-lasting flavours. Nice, if unspectacular Dunkelweizen. Maybe that’s tautology. sinte (88), udine, Italy Sep 10, 2009 Draught in Berlin.
Brown-reddish, cloudy body, with a large, creamy, beige head, mostly lasting with a good lacing.
Fruity aroma (banana, apple; prune?) with some caramel notes due to the malt.
Moderate sweet flavour with a significant acidic character.
Medium body with an oily texture; average carbonation, some astringency in the finish.
