Commercial Description:
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.

Pretty good. Much more malty and less spicy than the regular hefeweizen which I like better. Mostly roasted caramel malt and wheat flavor. The flavor was a little boring.

Pours a cloudy/opaque full brown color with a milky white head. The roasted malt taste definitely comes through alongside the yeasty-wheat taste that is to be expected of a hefeweizen. Had this one alongside a German sausage... delicious. 1pt. 0.9 fl. oz. bottle.

A nice dunkelweizen from the country who invented them. Aroma of wheat and banana. Pour was a nice deep brown with just a tad of an off white head. Taste was just like a hefe. Banana arom comes in as you sip and the air is thick. Taste was mostly wheat with a tangy yeast taste in the aftertaste. OK dunkelweizen

Tap at random resturant while taking a break from random Munich wanderings on 9-29-07. Might have been the proper weizen glass, but this looked way better than the regular Franziskaner weissbier -- dark cloudy brown with a fluffy white head. yeast, banana, and tart aroma. Cleaner, crisper taste too, with more roastiness in combo with the typical banana sweetness. Thicker, heavily carbonated body. Refreshing slight bitterness. German weissbier is rekindling my fondness for wheat beers.

Large foamy white head, cloudy unfiltered red brown body. Sweet odd aroma like cooked vegetables. Taste is sweet with some hop bitterness as well as some friut and candy.

Garrafa. Coloração marrom/âmbar, muito turva. Creme bege consistente e razoavelmente persistente. Presença de "berlotes" depositados no fundo do copo. Notas de cravo, canela e banana. Carbonatação média. Refrescante.

Smells wheaty with some banana. Looks really murky with a nice white head with big bubbles. Tastes quite a bit like the regular Hefe, not much more malt or roasted flavors or anything like that. Less fruity than the Hefe, kind of more subdued. Not as carbonated or refreshing, either. Not bad, but kind of disappointing.
