Hacker-Pschorr Dunkle Weisse

0.5 l bottle. Hazy brown color. Banana, toffee and fruit in the aroma. Spicy rye, clove, banana and graininess in the flavor. Fresh, decent dunkelweizen.

355 ml, bottled 04-06? Cloudy copper-brown with a medium and somewhat lasting head. Aroma is Bananas Foster lite, with some clove. Initial taste is similar; turns to a more spicy, dryish bubblegum and cardboard finish. Palate is light, bubbly, tingly and ends dry and astringent. I don’t remember the draft version being this good; maybe it needs over a year of aging???!

July 2005 - I have to say that I’m not a big dunkleweissen fan. This beer poured a dark amber/brown with HUGE almost out of control head. I had to pour like three times just to get it to fit into my glass. The taste was typical sweet dunkle taste (which I’m not fond of) maybe a tad on the thin side (which, if you aren’t a big fan of style isn’t a bad thing). Got a little better as it warmed.

Thin off-white head and mud and rose color. Carmel and clove bouquet. Strong yeasty flavor with hints of caramel and dough. Decent palate.

My bottle was labeled Weisse Dark. I wonder how old it is.

Pour is a muddy orange-brown with a thin head of white froth. Aroma is sweet, cloves and some banana. Similar to the Julius Echter I had just before, but the flavors don’t seem as fresh. Still quite tasty.

(Draught (?) at Altes Hackerhaus, München) Clear dark orange to brown color. Fluffy white head. Estery and spicy banana taste. Weak estery banana scent. Medium mouthfeel, low bitterness.

35.5 cL bottle. Aroma of clove with underlying banane. Slightly hazy copper color with a head that’s fine bubble and humongous. A bit thin bodied. Clove start with banana following strongly. There is a slight caramel malt sweetness. The finish is clove and banana. Good stuff.
