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.

Ripe bananas with yeast in my nose. Wonderful cloudy nut-brown body with a big frothy head. The banana and malt flavor is disappointingly weak and the finish very watery. Too weak in flavor so a underaverage Wheat!

Nice head that lasted all the way through to the end. The permanent part was even a bit large for beers who do keep permanent heads. Full brown cloudy body was nice but not spectacular. Nose is slight esters with good wheaty aroma. Reminded me vaguely of brownies, but less chocolatey. Ester taste is present but a bit subdued. Nice maltiness. Would probably have rated this higher if I had tried it before having Schneider Aventinus in bottle and on tap.

500 ml bottle from Bevmo. Copper brown with a fizzy white head. Sweet wheat bread aroma. Slightly sweet banana bread taste, refreshing.

murky dark; bigh head. good carbonation. Tart, tangy, fruity. Thinner, considering the darker color. Some cocoa powder maltiness. good stuff.

Another fine one by Franziskaner, even if a Spaten product. This one poured a nice brown color with some cloudiness. The aroma was of light roasted bananas. Some cloves, but underplayed. Caramel malts came through in the flavor, moreso than in the non dunkel versions. Definite roasted character vs. the non dunkel. Not as dry as other dunkelweizens. A good beer.

Fredagsbaren på Biologi, Aarhus, DK Bottled, 020508. Aroma and flavor of banana. With a hint of caramel/malt sweetness wich balances the high carbonation

Not much aroma, sweet. Fine golden color, cloudy. Great head. Smoked malt? I couldn't find any smoked notes, only sweetness.
