Tabernash Dunkel Weiss

2002 Bottle courtesy of dkachur on 01/18/2009. Slightly hazy copper body with a small frothy off-white head. Sour toasty and old wheat aroma. Sour toasty earthy flavor with some dry caramel. Medium light body with high carbonation. Definitely past it’s prime.

This poured a hazy caramel body with a respectable beige head. The aroma is sweet wheat and bananas. Light, spritzy mouthfeel. The flavor is wheaty with soft malts, banana, and a low trace of spices. Fairly refreshing.

Bottle. Pours crystalline mahogany with a sizeable white head. The aroma is malty wheat, green-smelling hops, and a touch of banana. The flavor has a ton of banana, some wheat, and some subtle hops in the finish. Interesting, but the enormous banana taste ruins it for me.

Bottle. Clear dark brown color with an average frothy light brown head that dimished quickly. Average roasted malt and light hop aroma. Medium body. Average balanced malt and hop flavor with an average finish.

An extremely Belgian-ish dunkelweizen. Lots of spice and that certain Belgian essence that’s hard to put into words. Copper colored with gobs of flavor, some of it alcohol, oddly enough. Touch sour with some citrus taste. Despite all that, the beer seemed a bit thin and watery. I’m quite disappointed, because the body of the beer isn’t sufficiently malty.

Bottle poured a cloudy copper brown with a large billowy amber head. Aromas of cola, bananas, bubblegum.and spices. Flavors of banana, light citrus and spices and a sweet finish.

Beautiful murky scarlet mud in color with some bubbles for the head. Aroma is milk chocolate, bananas and cloves. A waft or two of chocolate rye dinner rolls presents itself as well. Flavor is chocolate powder, cloaked sour lemons and anise. Souring and sweet. Slick, bubbly body that’s searing and acidic. Finishes with sour lemons. Boo.

Bottle. Pours with average fizzy off white head. Average lacing. Body is cloudy heavily particulate and dark copper brown. Nose is light with decent malt, some citrus and yeast. It is light and fizzy, maybe thin but has a good lingering finish that is tangy and light........refreshing. Flavor is average in duration, lightly acidic, moderately sweet, and lightly bitter. This has a great spicy character I haven’t noted yet, but some light citrus and fruit. I like the flavor that hits me but the texture is what is bringing this beer down. So close to being great, but I will say this is definitely good.
