Dark roasty flavor. Light on the hefe and strong on the roastiness. Good brew. Great balance of the flavors. Tastes like a stout-weiss. bb (3153), Martinez, California, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 10, 2003 Nice - feel like I'm using my German weis template for dunkles - bananas, sweetish with a sour finish, not overly roasted for the dark color. I only wish I could get more fresh stuff for as cheap as it was (forget the airfare) instead of having to beg the ex to tote it back as THAT leaves a very bitter aftertaste.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 12, 2005 Bottle. Dark brown color with a lasting tan head. Lighter in color then I would have expeted. Aroma isn’t smokey at all but more weiss with some hay and malt. Taste is smooth and the flavors of banana and belgian yeast. The hops in the finsh cleanse the palate pretty well. I’d like to see just a bit more pronounced flavors in this but wht is there is pretty good. 5000 (2913), Hardened Liver, Washington, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 13, 2006 Bottle: Deep brown, black cherry hues, large pillowy beige head, fairly nice lacing. Robust roasted malt nose, definitely wheaty, clove and banana is ever so slight. Somewhat thick mouthfeel, yet still spritzy and wheaty. As it warms it gets a little husky, roasted nut shells or something. Clean, very clean. A bit better than average in my opinion.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 29, 2004 Medium, lacey head. Dark red-brown colour. Malty sweet aroma. Banana taste, slightly caramelly and a taste similiar to chocolate, but more like cocoa.
Negative point is the body, which comes out a bit too thin. Otherwise a very nice example of the style. ukoolaid (572), Amherst, Massachusetts, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 23, 2004 Bottle. Cloudy orange-yellow with foamy white head. Aroma strong of banannas and sugar. Taste is much like the aroma. Not much wheat but a whole lot of caramel and ripe bananna. Very sweet. Tmoney99 (4985), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 8, 2006 Bottle. Poured a dark brown with a huge light brown head that diminished slowly and produced excellent lacing. Good roasted malty aroma. Medium body with a thin texture. Good malty and banana flavor with an average finish. Soft drinkable brew.
