3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
12 oz bottle at The Brewery at Union Station in Erie, PA. Poured a nice dark amber with a light head that dissipated quickly. Smooth flavor with just enough dark malt. Clean finish. Definitely would order again.

A- Body is a somewhat cloudy, very carbonated cola color. Served with an approximately 2 finger beige head. Head fades to a thick collar and very little lacing is left.
S- The nose is subtle-but in line for the style. Banana is the main character but sourdough bread has almost equal strength as the backbone.
T- The initial flavor is heavy on banana with a substantial bready yeast background. The finish is consistent with the initial flavor but the sourdough bread impression grows a little bit. Nothing lingers on the palate.
P- Medium carbonation and light to medium weight body. Fairly smooth.
O- This is a decent dunkel...but nothing special. It fits the bill pretty well for the style. It’s pretty heavy on banana and could use a little bit of spice. Definitely worth a try.
Serving type: on-tap

A flavorful and aromatic dunkelweizen. Aroma was near perfect. Strong banana and clove with yeast and little else interfereing. Pour was a nice cloudy dark brown with a one finger near tan head. Taste was strong and wheaty. Heavy on the banana and clove with just touches of roasted malt and a hint of caramel after it warmed. Not as much carbonation as I would like in a dunkelweizen, but most of CBW beers lack that. All in all, solid but middle of the road.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a pale brown, orange-tinted with a thin rim in white. Aroma throws a nice crisp classic Weizen yeast aroma. Banana-heavy. Flavor is right in line, with a wonderful combination of freshly slice fall MacIntosh apple, banana puree, and caramelized pear. Very nuanced, juicy and bright. Great flavor profile from the yeast, tinged in a Bananas Foster way with brown sugar and rum. Balanced and crisp. Excellent!

a little sweet. The bannana was apparent. It seemed like it was trying to hide it though. Like this beer was embarassed of tasting like bannana. Many of these tuff guy beers that have a little fruity flavor need to come out of the closet me thinks. being fruity is nothing to be ashamed of.

my first taste of a dunkelweizen. a very nice dark wheat with moderate carbonation. the malts are a nice complement to the light yeast flavor. i just had a brief taste but this is a really nice flavorful beer. i’ll have to rerate when i’ve had a proper glass.

Growler from Church. Dark brown body with small tan head. Aroma of wheat, yeast, bread. Flavor has some sweet, dark fruity malts and some dough and yeast. Slightly metallic finish.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Dark coppery mahoganey body, off-white lasting creamy head. Nice sweet fruity wheat body. What is a little stale, but it is okay and the yeasty esters give it a nice character, similar to a good NG wheat. Pretty good.
