(bottle) Cloudy, amber colour with a fluffy, slightly beige and dense foamy head. Dusty, moderately sweet roast-malty and fruity aroma with cacao, caramel and clovy spice. Quite roasty bitter flavour for a Hefeweizen, almost medium bodied, with a moderate carbonation. Roast-malty taste, subtle fruity with and a touch of caramel; toasty, moderately bitter and spicy finish. Nice Dunkelweizen with real Dunkel-qualities.

The bright yeast did not convince me, the dark too. The smell is too sweet, the foam stops short - an average wheat. Drinkable, nothing more!

Bottle: Slightly hazy, chestnut-amber coloured, mid-sized, lacing off-white head; sweet-sour, fruity-malty nose with a touch of vegetables; moderate to solid sweet flavour with a distinctive acidity; vegetables, dark malt and tartness in the short finish. Drinkable, not really necessary..........
