Deep and dark colored, cloudy with yeast. Brewed with a darker roasted malt which adds some maltiness to the refreshing flavour of the Hefe-Weissbier.

light brown fogged color, tall rocky white head, rich banana hefe nose, mild hefe weizen flavor, no dark alts stand out in flavor, tastes like a rich standard hefe but loses points on the lack of dark malts in the backbone, it looks dark but the flavor hardly matches, actually tastes like a lager...?

500 ml bottle. Finland. (HHOK). Very dark brown hazy colour with puffy head. Not very nice as most of the Dunkelweizens. Aroma is almost as enjoyable as in Hefe-Weissbier. As fruity (banana) but somewhat darker. Flavour is a bit more away from the non-Dunkel version. Quite sweet. So this cannot compete with the original. Very good though.

Had this one on tap at the porter beer bar a while back. Dark brown color with a bit of a red hue and a big tan head. Spicy aroma with a distinct banana flavor. Some clove and cinnamon like flavors as well. The finish is pretty sweet. Full bodied long lasting beer.

Superior à versão clara, tem um paladar pouco intenso, mas ainda preserva o aroma frutado.

Poured from bottle a hazy burnt caramel color with large light-tan head. Much like the blond hefe Franziskaner, the aroma is nice with yeast, clove, banana, to a lesser degree - bubblegum and more caramel malt. The flavor is a more subdued banana and bubblegum with a stronger caramel toasted bread combo taking over. The palate has a nice spiciness to it with plenty of carbonation to sizzle the tongue and a mild sweetness. Overall a very nice beer with a good taste and aroma profile. I could drink a lot of these.

Poured a hazy dark amber/caramel color. There were bits of sediment suspended in the glass. There was a tall foamy off-white head that reduced slowly. As the head went down you could hear the bubbles popping. The head eventually disappeared to just a film. There wqas a bit of a spice aroma with a mix of a light caramel scent.Initially there was good carbonation and a big alcohol taste with an underneath sweetness. The finish was rather mild.

(10/23/08) Bottle drank in my hostel room in New York. Cloudy brown with a big, slowly-diminishing, beige head. Aroma of banana, lots of clove, caramel and bread. Sweet flavor with some toasted malt, bread, wheat, fruits, caramel, some spiciness and light toffee notes. Medium-bodied. A very pleasant Dunkelweizen.
