Barleys Dunkel Weizen

Brewed by Barleys Brewing Company
Style: Dunkelweizen
Columbus, Ohio USA

Serve in Stein, Weizen

draft- dark raisin, fruity ester type flavor- does not possess the weizen yeast character I was hoping for.

I'm not a huge fan of the style, but Barley's makes any style beer drinkable! Pours a deep orange amber with a thin head and hardly any lacing. Aroma and flavor have a lot of wheat and fruit.

Pours a nice brown/amber color, but it is filtered extremely clear. I like my weizens with yeast dagnabit! Flavors of clove and banana bring it back into style though. A decent beer, but I have high expectations from this brewpub.

Brown with a beige head. Aroma of wheat and yeast. Flavor of yeast and a little pepper. Also a little sourness. Finish is somewhat dry.

I haven't had too many dark wheat beers, and while this is a decent summer beer it's not something I would get often considering all the better brews Barley's has to offer. Pours a dark orangish-red with a thin light beige head. Very little lacing. Strong wheat aroma. Relatively light-bodied, with wheat and fruit flavors. Finish is kind of crisp, but overall I found this beer to be a little simple.

definite wheat and yeast aroma. nice body which is a brown-red-orange gradation. strong yeast and wheat taste with hints of clove. smooth finish, clean and refreshing. as it warms there is a pronounced bite (from clove and wheat.)
