Commercial Description:
Slam Dunkel was a small batch release in 2007. We had such an overwhelming response that we had to put it in the seasonal rotation. We also decided, as brewers, we couldn't live without drinking this beer every year! This 7% Double Dunkelweizen is unfiltered and made with over 50% wheat malt along with pale, munich, and a touch of chocolate to give it the traditional color and flavor. Bitterness is subdued to allow the Weihenstephen yeast to shine through with those traditional notes of banana and clove. Available in June in bottles and draft. Recipe by Chris Wilson, Head Brewer.

22 oz from Perfect Pour - Hazed dark coppery brown, thick creamy light tan head (great lacing left behind). Chocolate clove and banana esters ride undercurrents of citric caramel and toasted rye bread. Yeasty chocolate and sweet banana flavors round with just a touch of citrus. Medium bodied with pillow soft carbonation. A nice experiment here in my book...

22oz bottle. medium brown, perfect cloudiness. White soapy head. Awesomely perfect aroma for this style. Huge banana and cloves, rich malt, nicely toasted. Lots of alcohol in the nose as well. Rich malt, deeply creamy mouthfeel. Overall the flavor

From a 22oz bottle - Pours a slightly cloudy reddish/brown. Lightly carbonated with no lacing . Complex smells of dark fruits and light malt. First sip is creamy with spices complimenting the wheat. Alcohol notes present. Tons of complexity here. There is a lot going on here.

22 oz. bottle on 10/7/2008. Hazy mahogany pour, large, yellowish tan head that collapses quickly to a 1/8" layer that leave a sheeting lace. Caramel, fruit esters, spice waft from the glass. Tastes of burned caramel, some wheaty tanginess, and a peppery bitterness at the finish. Medium body, lively carbonation, smooth , some stickiness. Seemed a little harsh to me, needs a little more rounded malt character for better balance. Still, quite drinkable and not too bad.

22 oz bottle split between two pints poured light to medium brown color. Fruity aroma, maybe apricots and raisins. Slightly sour, some yeast and bred like qualities. Nice wheat flavor with some of the yeast flavors like, banana and clove popping in. Nice beer.
