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.

Tasting at JoeMcphee’s. Beige murky brown. The aroma of this one was absolutely bizarre.. no idea how to describe it, chemical? Flavor was sweet, malt, caramel, light fruits throughout.

A bit like Aventinus, but lighter overall. One of the better Weyerbacher brews I’ve had.

Bottle. Pours almost opaque chestnut brown, thin off white head. Aroma is tangy and malty, some caramel and fruits scents, and is quite pleasant. Flavor is funky, earthy, malty, some yeastiness going on here too. This doesn’t taste as good as it smells, but it doesn’t sh*t the bed, if you know what I mean.

Bottle shared at the CA-GA cultural beer exchange hosted by alexanderj. Brown with ruby red hints. Aroma is sweet caramel malt and yeast. Flavor is sort of sweet cramelt malt, a little roast and vanilla. Kinda cola-like.

Opaque, red mahogany appearance with a fairly large, beige head. Sweet malt aroma with layers of caramel and a variety of fruit. Wheaty, yeasty, fruity taste, some spicyness, along with the typical weizen flavors of banana and, to a lesser extent, cloves. Mildly bitter aftertaste. Smooth, full-to-medium bodied, moderately carbonated mouthfeel. Long lasting finish.

What a nice example. Pours a cloudy dark brown color with a nice tan head. Aroma is sweet with hints of clove, banana, and kind of malty. Flavor is very much the same. A very enjoyable example od a weizen bock. I certainly enjoyed this one.
