Franziskaner Hefe-Weissbier Dunkel

Pours with a dark gold honey color and a head that be be very large depending on the pour. An aroma that loses something from the roasted malts as they tend to dominate. Some spices, bread, light body. Not bad but I prefer the regular Hefe.

This beer looks like a typical hefe-weisse, only darker. Aroma is heavenly, with fruits, spices, yeast, and chocolate malt all present. Flavor is much the same. This is somewhat bitter up front. Well carbonated. Dry finish. Not my favorite, but a great wheat nonetheless.

Poured in a weizen; a murky, orange tinted brown. Large creamy off white head. Aroma of yeast/bubblegum, banana, clove, some malt; maybe a little soapy. Flavor was much of the same, but with a pronounced roasted malt. Refreshing flavor, crisp; perhaps a little watery. Good value.

Good beer. nice and sweet, very malty. Would definitley like to drink this again.

A great beer, this dunkelweizen has a great aroma of wheat and malt. For a malt fan, this is a good beer. It creates a nice off- white head, amber in color, you smell nuts and get a fruit aftertaste. Basically an excellent wheat beer with a little more flavor.

Excellent beer. Pours a dark hazy brown color with a good head. Im in the mood for one right now. Reasonably priced for all the flavor you are gtting.

Just as the blonde one, be careful when pouring this, or you’ll have just a lot of foam. Creamy a bit brownish head, with lot of chunks that go straight to the bottom of the glass, with very long retention, but it doesn’t leave lace. Cloudy dark orange colour. Aroma is similar to the blonde, banana, clove, peaches, but with a hint of chocolate, specially if you pour the sediment, and hints of dark fruits. A bit of sweet fruity flavor, taste is similar to the aroma, banana, cloves, peaches, chocolate, dark fruits... and some coriander. Not very strong body, very refreshing and drinkable.

Draft. Pours dark orange with a large white head. Smell is clove, yeast, banana. Taste is that normal hefe taste but a bit watery. Refreshing and crisp, lacking flavor. Ordinary but good.
