In short: Some kind of cranked up sweetened Dunkel Weizen. Meh.
How: Bottle 750ml corked & caged. Consumed 3 months after purchase from a busy Albany store, no date on bottle, not sure how fresh this is.
The look: Dark brown body topped by a small beige head.
In long: Nose is overripe brown bananas, cloves-ish spiciness. Taste is browned bananas, raisin bread, molasses, cloves, some caramel, distant chocolate, some plums. Basically this beer tastes like a big fat dunkel weizen to which molasses was added. Nothing offensive about this beer but I’m just not a fan of those spicy sweet overripe flavors that beers like this one bring. Or maybe it was just the wrong beer to accompany my Sushi meal, I never know what beer to choose when I eat Sushi or Filet Mignon, nobody told me life would be this hard.

Not great, tbh; first impression is of a slightly flatter, slightly wheatier, slightly more astringent Baltic Porter. chocolate notes present, clove barely detectable, roast flavor is more than slight. Interesting but not a beer to turn to

deep brown with a cream head. nose is alcohol, spices, wheat, light clove, and sticky. easy on the palate, bitter, sticky, wheat, and a clean finish.

Pour is a dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma is all dark fruit and molasses. Flavor is simlar. Some dark fruit, brown sugar and dark bread. I think I got a bad bottle b/c there was no loud pop when I got the cork off so this seems really flat. I’m sure fresh this is even better.

Pours a beautiful ruby hue. Definitely taste belgian and german elements going on. Cocoa, amaretto, nuts, raisins. Slightly chewy mouthfeel. Very interesting.

Pours dark amber brown with a ruby hue and a large creamy light tan head. Aroma of spicy yeast, dough, floral hop, chocolate, molasses, lots of dried fruit sweetness. Taste has more roast than I was expecting with tons of yeast character- clove, dough, earthy funk. The finish has a light funky bitterness and some tea leaf qualities. Nice sharp carbonation with a silky texture. The aroma is a little dull and leaves me wanting something more.

crazy lacing, huge tan head, nice nice retention, dark ruby/brown clearish... tobacco, smoke, roast, choc, light aroma of dark fruits, dry aroma, spicy, lots of aroma... lively, chocolatey, loads of complex flavors, smoky, light spice, medium body, great flavors, a little roasty, finishes a little slick, while still being dry, odd... this is top notch, surprised its not rated higher... a little creamy, roasty, choc, nice nice nice beer...

Location: Draft at RnH, 8/8/11

Aroma: The nose has some caramel, molasses, toffee, wheat, and a bit of roast
Appearance: The pour is fairly dark, brownish, with a small head and minimal lace
Flavor: The taste is fairly sweet and malty, with caramel, brown sugar, and dark fruits present
Palate: This one has a medium body, it is fairly smooth and drinkable, with a slight stickiness
Overall Impression: This one turned out to be a solid dark wheat beer. It is a little bit of the characteristics of a dubbel, and some of the characteristics of a dunkelweisen as well. Solid stuff, rather high on the sweet side, but solid none-the-less.

Draft. Pours amber brown with an off white head. Toasty and wheaty aroma, with light spices and a light roast. The flavor is lightly roasted, with spices and some earthy notes on a wheaty base. Pretty good.

750 ml corked and caged bottle poured a clear dark reddish brown with a lasting tn head. Aromsof molasses, raisin, plum, cola and light spice. Palate was medium bodied and crisp. Flavors of carmel, brown sugar, light dried fruit, light cola and light spice with a crisp lingering carmel finish.
