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.

Bottle. Head was large frothy white and was mostly lasting. Good lacing in glass. Body was light cloudy with partials in flow. Color was golden brown. Aroma was wheat, citrus, clove, coriander, banana, caramel. For some reason I felt that some of the malty notes were kind of missing from this Dunkelweizen Light to medium bodied and an average carbonation. Light sweet finish.

Bottle, a very cloudy brown. A yeasty aroma with sweet fruit. A pleasant fruit and wheat flavour.

Pours a dark plum color with an off white 2 finger head. Aromas and flavors of dark fruits, and cloves. Medium to thin palate that was crisp and mildly carbonated.

Hazy brown hue, with a rocky beige head, leaving laces, yeasty, toasted and wheaty malt nose with a fruity accent of fig, raisin an caramelized ripe apples, with some spicy notes of cinnamon and clove, with a subtle fruit wineyness in the arom follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a yeasty, fruity wheaty character, some toasted and caramel malts, with a hint of smokiness, cinnamon and clove spiciness, with a mellow fresh mouthfeel, with a faint chocolatey accent, and notes of fig, ripe apples and raisin fruitiness, leading towards a wheaty, spicy, mild hop bittering finish.
