500ml bottle. Pure dark brown hazy color with white head. There’s a slight caramel taste in this one that makes a good reaction to the original dunkelweize bitterness. Satisfying but honestly I expected more than that. OK though...

Dec 4, 2009 500 mL Bottle. Deep murky ruby body with a long lasting frothy off-white head that leave good lace. Aroma of toasted grains, prunes, raisins, other dark fruit, cloves and spices, tangerine peel, fresh vegetables, and autumn leaves. Full body of wheat and grains make up the flavor; prunes, raisins, tangerine peel, and cloves express in the aftertaste and finish. Very smooth in the mouth. Wheat beer lovers: this way please!

Dec 1, 2009 On tap at Lunar BrewingCo. and although normally served in a Weizen glass, requested a smaller amount in a Czech-pils glass. Poured a cloudy, amber/brown with modest, off white foam to the head, and some curtainy lacing. The aroma had a tomato juice/V-8 scent to it. Although a touch of the nose carried over, the flavor was closer to style with some graininess, light notes of ripe banana cream, and stronger spice/clove notes. Just a hint of sweetness was evident. The carbonation was good and the body was medium. Not bad except for the unpleasant beginning. Will have to try again down the road.

Nov 30, 2009 500ml poured from a bottle at an Italian restaurant am Gendarmenmarkt in Berlin. Slowly fading off-white head. Cloudy, dark orange body. Smell of ripe fruits. Dark wheat with sweet malts and overripe banana in flavour, added by a spicy touch of cloves. Bitter fruits and notes of yeast to the ending. Quite flavoursome (Berlin 22.11.2009).

Nov 23, 2009 Pours a murky caramel color with a voluminous fluffy off-white head. Aroma is bread crusts, bananas, vanilla, and clove. Flavor is similar, bready with a strong banana note and just enough clove. Mouthfeel is silky and smooth. Another well-crafted Weihenstephaner beer.
