2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
A little light for my tastes, but not bad overall. Minimal weight and staying power for such a dark colored beer.
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
500 ml bottle from the LCBO, best by date of 03/13
AROMA: Light wheat/malt aroma with a touch of clove.
APPEARANCE: High, light tan meringue-like head that sticks around. Dark, opaque body - you could mistake this for a Guinness if you weren’t looking closely.
TASTE: sweet with a hint of banana. Light spiciness.
PALATE: fairly lively carbonation which masks some flavour, creamy texture. Dry finish.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Good wheat beer. Slightly weaker than the brighter varieties. My wheat beer should preferably not be dark.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
AROMA: dough, nuts, toast, bread, bit metallic at first
APPEARANCE: brown, clear, frothy
TASTE: medium bitter, lightly sour,
PALATE: medium body, slick feel, lively, bitter,
OVERALL: ok dunkelweiss, but lacks depth of character and a bit too much on the malty side.

As with the white this one also lacks the thick creamy flavor as other germans. Watery with some iron and resin. Bottle from Mitra in Roden.

Darker and less tastier than the lighter version, but still very drinkable.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle 0.5l. Dark brown color with white persistive head. Slight roast malt aroma and wild yeast. It has some sweetnees.
Carbonation is medium with a light body.
Overall this is good beer.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
500ml bottle best before 03/2007, drank 12/2006.
Poured into a Franziskaner Weissbier glass, it looked dark, heavy and tasty. Mahogany black with a two finger tanned foaming head, which slowly sank down to a thinner covering.
Aroma of wheat and yeast, neither very strong, even as the bier warmed up.
Thin, almost watery (for a weissbier,dunkel or otherwise), no depth
or feel to the taste, the mouthfeel, very poor really, not a great example of this style in my opinion.
I will not be rushing out and buying a crate of this, but if I ever see it on tap anywhere I will give it another try.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Nice easy drinking style. Had nice smooth dark malt flavours with hints of coffee. A round and smooth palate and good head retention.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
From the bottle poured a dark brown brew with a thick, rich head. aroma of roasty malt. Flavors fo malt and honey. Medium bodied and tasty.
