Paulaner Hefeweissbier Dunkel

Brewed by Paulaner Brauerei (Schörghuber)
Style: Dunkelweizen
Munich, Germany

Muddy darkbrown with wonderful fat head. Aroma of hospital, banana and wheat-yeast. Sweet flavor with similar notes and also bread. Great wheat beer!

At Frankfurt airport. A quite fine dark hefe, though I find the apperance of the these beers a bit weird and muddy. fine and soft, some banana flavour and proper wheat malt taste.

Dark brown colored pour with huge creamy head. Sweet, spicy with a nice malty, yeasty finish.

Tasted 2007-03-29. Fresh bottle, 50cl. Dark, hazy, brown colour. Looks a bit like a cola, that’s been sitting out for a while. Actually looks kinda good! Yeasty aroma. A little acidic. Notes of banana. Ditto taste! I like it!

Bottle. Pours dark tan. Aroma is malt. Taste is very sweet but not too much so. A good dunkelweisse.

A hazy, dark copper brown coloured beer with a thick and frothy head. A strong, wheaty aroma with a little bana and a touch of spice. A dry taste, wheaty with a hint of malt to start, then a slightly sour, fruity flavour with clove spice that lasts to a dry finish. (Bottle - purchased from Beers of Europe, Setchey, Norfolk for £1.95 a bottle).

Bottle. Murky dark amber colour with rather creamy off-white head of medium duration. Roated malt and dried fruits in the aroma. Slightly sweet malt and some yeast in the flavor. Average finish with a little fruit-sweetness. Not one of the best dunkelweizen.

Vom fass @ Frankfurt International Airport, Frankfurt-am-Main, Germany (July 2006).
Last Mercedes Benz ’E’ class taxi my wife and I would take, or see, and the last beer I would try before leaving sehr schön Deutschland for home. It came in its own tall glass, enthralled with charging effervescence, a tawny, opaque, caramel coloured elixir toppled on by a very excited, ever expanding head of fluff that did its best to escape. Conversation beyond the beer turned to a lovely lass from Sydney about to head to Lebanon to see her family. The beer now background, it smelt of soggy chocolate biscuits entwined with cloves, used band-aids and fresh, ripe bananas. Prickly, from the bubbles, it pierced the nostrils last thought. Tasted of carbonic acid, too fizzy chilled and fresh, some conversation later it got better. A little doughy, cookie dough and tangy wheat, a lemony sour, tangy backdrop as it hurtles down the sides, the subtle, clappy swallow has the ripe banana, subtle bubblegum mix of a good hefe-weiss with a flowing biscuity swallow that lasts and works. It holds just a light edge of woody reserve to make each mouthful after the first a little better, a little more enticing. Lost in converse I must say that I fell away while tasting this which made it more pleasurable. A sessionable, simple Dunkel weiss that ranked up with pub greats. Good with the mind off!!!
