NeonLX (258), Wisconsin, USA Apr 3, 2006 Bottle. Pours a slightly cloudy medium brown with orange highlights. Big, fluffy off-white head that lasts all the way down. Mildly spicey aroma with a hint of clove. Slightly sweet initial taste against a good malty base. Yes, there’s a hint of clove in the background. Flavors were more sublte than I had expected but it’s still a nice, smooth beer. Wish I had another. illinismitty (1790), Nashville, Tennessee, USA Mar 22, 2006 Bottle. Pours a cloudy orange amber with a nice thick white head. Fruity banana clove esters in the aroma. Flavor of fruit candy, banana, clove, dark wheat malt, and caramel. Sweet and refreshing finish. A nicely done Dunkle. JohnnyOS (646), Golden, Wisconsin, USA Mar 19, 2006 Pours translucent orange amber with thin off-white head. Aroma of wheat, malt and wet leaves with a rye bread and clove flavor. KAggie97 (2406), Ugly, Hot, and Humid Spring, Texas, USA Mar 15, 2006 Tap at Auslander
Pours a watery tea-brown. Aroma is malty molasses. Flavor is clove and bubblegum, with highlights of molasses. Palate will do, Pig. It’ll do. Refreshing; lite for the style. The bartender, Rebecca, is a hottie. Nice conversation with her. Hawksfan17 (717), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 10, 2006 Pours brown with an orange hue, there is a bubbly white head that fades to a thin whisp. Smells sweet like apples, candy, and there is also some malty wheat in there. I taste the dark malt and wheat but then underneath it all I picked up on some banana. It left a strange taste in my mouth. SDalkoholic (1186), Chula Vista, California, USA Mar 10, 2006 I picked a 6-pack up and was worried that i had already tried this before and didn’t like it but was i ever relieved to see i hadn’t any words to say about on Ratebeer.com. Enjoyable aroma of sweet malt and bubblegum with a slight hint of banana which i found kind of odd since it is a dunkelweizen. Flavor is a little sour and bitter with a small background of wheat and lightly toasted malt. After gulping few drinks i licked my lips and had a lot of sweet sugary residue which is real good and has me licking my lips even more. Color is a tea colored brown with a firm foamy head. This dunkel is both decent and quaffable. GreatLibations (1440), Last Supper, Arizona, USA Feb 22, 2006 Amber, honey brown in color. Full weisse nose. Medium nectar with no medicinal flavors, damn! I want medicine. This seems to be the signature here with old Hacker-slag.....no medicine. Ahhh farg off will ya ! I would have given it a perfect score if she were even slightly medicinal. Oh well, it’s a great specimen just of a different character. Well ballanced with a nice smooth finish. Highly recommended. jerc (3861), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Feb 22, 2006 Draft @ Smokeless. Very murky brown body with a small white head and decent lacing. (3+) Yeasty aroma, sour-tart wheaty tang, touch of malt. Flavour has the same sour-tart wheat bite, yeasty with fruity esters, banana, ephemeral hings of clove/spice is barely there. Touch simplistic at times but really hit the spot today. Medium to full bodied. Tasty.
