Nov 20, 2007 Bottle... Poured an unfiltered, milk chocolate tone with a nice frothy white head. Roasted malt aroma. Smooth body with the refreshing wheat beer characteristics, but with the tartness from the added malt. Almost like candy.

Nov 17, 2007 Bttle brought back from Europe. Poured into a weizen on 08-07-07. 2 finger creamy tan head and a dark cloudy brown gold color. Big wheat smell with coriander and light banana to compliment it. Lemon with malt and wheat initially. More lemon, a light chocolate malt presence afterwards. Decent carbonation and a bit watery on the body. Very drinkable...not terribly exciting. I prefer the original to this.

Nov 15, 2007 Updated: Jul 11, 2008A little olfactory off on the lid pop. Clears to a rather atttractive alky candy smell in the glass. Big 16.9 oz bottle, nice serving size as a sample. Unfiltered swirling hypnotizing hazy pour. Beatiful and desirable in appearance. A little browner and more opaque than iced tea. Big foaming head that does not subside apon empty bottle. Initial flavors of numbing soda pop. Crispy grassy tang. No bitterness can easily be found. Very refined, fun and friendly. Towards the end of the session some farmhouse impact coats the back of the palate. Enjoyable, friendly and easy going. Nice! This beer is a good example of what beer can be without the bitter attributes of hop or malt. .

Nov 9, 2007 The Franciscans know how to brew beer, but dark beers are not my favorite. Nevertheless, this beer has a good flavor without overdosing with the burnt malt like many dunkels. It does not have the usual complexity of fruity notes in the flavor and nose that paler hefe weizenbiers have, but it is tasty and pleasing with a pretty strong aftertaste. It also has one hell of an ivory-colored head.
