Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier Dunkel

Brewed by Bayerische Staatsbrauerei Weihenstephan
Style: Dunkelweizen
Freising, Oberbayern, Germany

pours murky orange brown with a thick fluffy cream colored head from the 500ml i emptied. big malty wheat aromas of bubblegum and clove. sweet malty flavor with a light apricot fruitiness. more bubblegum through the finish and some light spicy hops round it out.

Drank with Ramenen. Bottle: Solid Dunkelweizen, strong weizen body with nice malty caramel touch. Low carbonation.

poured into a tulip. pours brown with fluffy full head, malty aroma, malty smooth to finish, sticks to tongue in aftertaste, caramel sugar presence, fluid full beer, very good..

On draft. Clear brown coloured, thick head. Malty and fruity notes in aroma. Nice malty flavour with some caramel malty sweetness and just a tad of sourness. Great mouthfeel. Excellent brew.

Clear brown pour. Some strawerry and cherry flavors. Nice malty full bodied mouth feel. Quick finish. Crisp and simple.

Typical characteristics of a dunkel - cloudy brown, aroma of banana, clove, and citrus. Flavor is nice, but still somewhat watery and muddled. Not a great example of the style.

Another excellent weiss from the world’s oldest brewery. highly carboneded dark brown poor provides everything you’d expect, bananas and cloves taste. The dark malts give it an earthier quality that is quiet pleasent. Not as aromatic as the lighter hefeweisse but otherwise an excellent beer

I gently poured the virulent brown contents into my tall pint glass and it produced a massive foamy head that declined unevenly and slowly. As I worked through the foam to the body and flavor, I was nearly rendered speechless as the malty taste was lightly enhanced by the parts of bananas and yeast. All this from a bottle which led me to wonder the usual question: what is like on tap? Update 10/07: The tap version is not as strongly nuanced as the bottle, but it is very drinkable.
