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.

A little disappointed with this one. I mistakenly grabbed a dunkel instead of the regular hefeweizen. Fairly dark in color - light passes through it. Decent on the palate. But nothing really distincitive about this one as far as taste goes. A bit malty. Their regular hefeweizen is an awesome brew - one of the best for the price. This dunkel was a bit on the sour side as far as after-taste goes. Drinkable but not a special experience.

Pours a cloudy brown with an off-white head. Aroma of chocolate, citrus, and banana. Taste is the same, with a somewhat dry aftertaste. Flavor on the whole is weak; this is definitely not in the same league as their wonderful hefeweizen or other dunkels I’ve tried.

16.9oz bottle served in a Weizen. Pours a cloudy amber brown body with a big, pillowy light tan head. Head resolves to a ring that stays around the length of the beer, no lacing to speak of. Aromas of malts, yeast, dark fruits, figs, pears, biscuit dough. Flavors of clove, banana, dark fruits, malts, dough, caramel, yeast. Finish is a bit watery, medium length, and sweet. Palate is a bit thin as well, medium carbonation. Light to medium astringency. Solid.

on tap @ Coles Buffalo NY. Pours an unattractive cloudy light brown. Maltier version of their hefe. bit more banana & bready flavor than the hefe but overall pretty good
