This was the "special beer" of the season that the brewpub was offerning when I was there. The only problem? Nothing that special about this one. Pours out with no head and a hazy brown color, aroma is next to nothing, a few banana esters here and there with a touch of doughy yeast was the extent of it. Like their regular Weiss beer this beer wasn’t balanced well, very boozy tasting eventhough there is only a modest ABV%. Slightly grainy mouthfeel, yet thin at the same time. Not great.

Poured brown not much smell head was over poured by tender but dissapated quickly not much taste

sample at brewpub, NOLA. pours hazy brown. taste and aroma, an average dunkel weizen, reminded me of their regular heffe. wheat and grainy mouthfeel, banana palate with yeast, light malts and some floral hops with a low carbonation.Only substantial difference was the maltier touch to this dunkel.

Special beer of the night when I went to the brewhouse. Strong smell of bananas, toasted wheat and a little mustiness. Flavor is pretty standard for a Dunkle, with wheat, bananas and spices. Like many of the Crescent City brews, it was a solid German beer, but really nothing interesting.
