Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier Dunkel

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

Bottle: Pours brown with an amber hue, topped by a very large and stable tan head. Very yeasty aroma, doughy, banana esters. The body is creamy, yet has a very fluffy texture. Flavor has lots of yeasty banana-like notes, light hint of chocolate, raisins. Solid maltiness, bready characteristics and has a nice chewy body. A very well crafted and classic Dunkelweizen.

On tap at Bekeerde Suster, A’dam. Creamy and amber coloured Dunkel. Top foam. Prickly with a quite bitter finish. Sweet and spicy, enjoyable.

Pours a very dark amber with a massive head that takes several minutes to subside. Very sticky lacing down the glass. Aroma is sweet bready yeast and some fruits. Taste follows the aroma with a certain brown sugar taste to it. Nice interplay of the sweets with the fruit. Mouthfeel is very good and beer is very drinkable. You could session this beer very easily.

Bottle and draft at several locations. Dark honey color and cloudy. Huge creamy-sticky head that lasts. Classic clove/banana spice nose of Bavarian weizen. Flavor follows and is very thirst-quenching and drinkable.

An aroma of yeast and spicy almost clovish tones. A light brown pour with a rolling white head and a full lacing. A flavor of caramelsh sweet malt and a bit of spice. A palate that is full and surprisingly complete if not for an overly aggressive carbonation this beer may have rated a tad higher. A pleasnat beer that I’m glad I tried. Thanks for the recommendation Jay.

Poured from a pint bottle into a pint glass, reddish brown with a big beige head. Aroma is sweet malt and yeast. The taste was fairly thin with a touch of malt and brown bread and a faint hint of cloves. The flavor of both the Hefe Weiss and the Dark of this brand seem to be a bit subdued. I prefer the Hacker-Pschorr Dunkle Weiss with it’s heavier malt base.

An OK dunkel hefeweissebier - but not the best I’ve had.and thin. page 488 of Michael Jackson’s Great Beer Guide. Only 196 of his 500 Classic Brews to go

Fully hazy amber beer with a rosy shine; amber tinted, very dense head. Milk, lactic, traces of diacetyl, and wheat. Roasted malt, only traces of diary flavours. Bit of corn too, and certainly wheat taste. Well balanced. Quite full bodied, aftertaste is typically sourish. Decent Dunkel Weizen. Interesting balance, just fine.
