Commercial Description:
Dunkelweizen translates into "dark wheat" and the beer is a darker version of the Bavarian wheat beers of the 15th century. Dark amber brown in color, this unfiltered ale is brewed with traditional Bavarian yeast, which imparts a wide spectrum of flavors and aromas from spicy clove and nutmeg to tropical fruit and banana. The result is a beer that is complex and flavorful, medium-bodied with a crisp finish.

A decent enough beer however it is to sweet and light in color for the style. Pours a slightly hazy sweet tea color with a standard beer head, not a weizen head. Aroma is mainly yeast with some sweet malts and noticeable cloves and banana esters. To me this is to sweet, not that I want some hybrid hop bomb, but something with more balance and wheat.

12 oz bottle. Pours a cloudy dark amber color with a small white head. It has the aroma of molasses, clove, wheat and yeast. Tastes of brown sugar, banana, nutmeg, clove and raisin. This is a wonderfully complex quality beer.

Bottle. Poured a medium brown in color with a small head that diminished rapidly with virtually no lacing. The aroma was that of cloves and raisins with the scent of grainy malts and an earthy yeast odor. It tasted a little acidic and sweet with a mild bitter aftertaste that only lasted a little while. Mouthfeel was smooth, dry and medium bodied. Overall a tasty but average brew.

Samuel Adams Dunkelweizen is a cloudy tawny beer with a thin, dense, off white head that has outstanding retention and lacing. It smells spicy and a little sweet, with notes of clove, pear and raisins. It’s medium bodied with a metallic feel. The finish is quick and a bit gritty. It has a mellow flavor of banana and pear, with a light, grassy bitterness. It seems like it will get sweet, but it doesn’t. The aftertaste is musky. It’s not bad.

Smooth and refreshing, but lacks complexity I look for in a traditional german beer. Aroma was weak, with hints of clove and malt. Smooth, yet a bit on the watery side.

Bottle from BevMo. Medium amber in color. Aroma is somewhat yeasty with a hint of spice. This is a fairly dry dunkelweizen. Not a really sweet example. Straightforward yeasty and spiced. I prefer mine sweeter. Still not bad.
