Aug 20, 2009 As with the altbier, this one had some diacetyl in it as well. Not nearly as overpowering as the alt, but it still detracted from the overall experience. Some fruitiness noticed with typical hefe qualities. However, based on the diacetyl, this was much less drinkable than the regular hefeweizen, which was pretty good and much better by comparison.

Aug 3, 2009 On draught at the brewpub in Menomonie: Poured a clear brownish colour with a two finger sized off white head. Firm and malty with brown sugar, cinnamon and something that finishes tart. Cranberry and sour cherry for sure. Aroma is really nice, semi sweet with some toast on the nose. It was easier to distinguish different tastes with these beers being served slightly warmer then normal.

Jul 3, 2008 July 2nd, 2008 Sample platter. Moderate cookie, and molasses smell with a very light flower aroma. Frothy head atop a almost clear brown brew. Sweet creamy taste with a slight hop aftertaste. My favorite brew on the sample platter.

Draught at the brewpub. The beer was murky brown with a moderate amount of foam. In the aroma I got caramel malt, banana, wheat, and yeast, and alcohol. All those things were present in the flavor as well along with a very mild smokiness.

Nov 18, 2007 On tap at the brewpub on 6/22/07: Transparent dark copper appearance with a frothy, clingy-lacing white head. Aroma of lightly sweet caramel malt with a touch of banana and lemon citrus. Starts fairly full and dark caramely sweet with nice bready German yeasty balance. A nice dunkelweizen.

Aug 8, 2007 Thanks to Skyview for sharing. Pours a nice murky dark brown with a small tan head. Nice banana, clove, toffee, and yeasty spiciness. A little bit of a butterscotch like sweetness preceeds, very nice sweet banana, ripe dark fruits, toffee, and a hint of roasted nuts.

Jul 17, 2007 Another from Skyview. This is an outstanding dunkelweizen, just what the style should be. The aroma has considerable wheat and banana, as well as light citrus. Flavor is really good. Very light roasted grain, and abundant wheat, citrus, and banana here as well. Thick and grainy texture, it reminded me of New Glarus Black Wheat. Sweet, but not with a sugary flavor. Thick and full mouthfeel.
