Charlies Dark Wheat

Brewed by Charlies Steak Ribs & Ale
Style: Dunkelweizen
Branson, Missouri USA

Serve in Stein, Weizen

Draft… Murky mahogany ale with a mid-sized, creamy, off-white head. Excellent retention. Metallic, spicy-hop aroma... not all that pleasant. Medium to full-bodied and very fizzy. Leans just a touch on the sweet side of balance. Refreshing and crisp with some mildly charred notes. Moderately bitter finish.

On draught at the brewpub. The beer is a dark cloudy brown color that reminded me of a chocolate soda. Medium foamy white head that dissipates steadily, and quick spotty lacing. Aroma of mild wheat with vinous notes underneath. Medium, clean body with flavors of wheat, pale malt and fermented grapes. The finish is short and wheaty, leaving a mildly sweet fruit aftertaste. Overall, another less than impressive beer from this Branson brewpub.
