4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
An intense rocky white head, like the snow capped peaks of the Bavarian Alps, only thicker. Banana, passion fruit, and peach aroma. Smooth palate, not too spritzy. Burnt orange colour, sort of cloudy. Banana flavour with some light caramel. I highly reccomend.

Sweet raisins, fruity, scent of plum. More distensible than other weisses which I also liked. This one is one of the best of that style so far I had.

Too bad i couldn’t lay my hands on a Ayinger Celebrator Doppelbock, but this one was probably the best i could get. Dark appearance. Spicy. Beautiful lacing.

I enjoyed this as an after dinner drink. Goes well with a little lemon slice. I can get them fairly cheap. So I will buy again.

An almost-tan head took a lifetime to settle over a dense, murky, brownish/copper-wheat body. Yeast particulate is diverse, from the silt that forms the haze to plastery chunks at the bottom, with little sea-monkeys bobbing about at mid-level. As far as the aroma, ’smoked banana’ smells much better than you’d imagine. Add to that roasted corn husks, clove, licorice and a touch of crawlspace (musty, earthen, moldiness). Flavor captures the hefeweizen essence of the aromas and sets it upon a substantially malted body... which gives a nice, hearty impression of a chocolate-covered banana. Thick, full-bodied and flavorful, with a creaminess in the mouth, it’s with beers like this that I can justify why ’Dunkelweizen’ is currently my favorite style.

Yeasty rich aroma of bananas, caramel and nuts. Malty with a soft palate. Lots of fruit notes: dried apples, banana and pomegranate and wheat. Soft velvety mouthfeel. Yummers. God I love a good Dunkel.

I poured this cloudy orange/brown ale into my 50cl glass and admired its generous head, which slowly dissolved. As Mr. Rain pointed out, the huge aroma of bananas and cloves was very present in the taste as well. As I emptied the glass I noticed the yeast elements and the slight tartness on the end. This is a great beer to have anytime.

Pours a lovely hazy amber with an excellent long-lasting head & nice lacing. Aroma is lovely - graham cracker, banana, typical wit but a tad sweeter and richer, notes of alcohol too. Tastes great - gala apple, light spiciness, creamy caramel, even a hint of mandarin orange. Body is creamy and delicious, if a tad under-carbonated. Overall, this is another dangerously drinkable beer. Only downside is the slightly underwhelming aftertaste.
