Hacker-Pschorr Dunkle Weisse

Brewed by Paulaner Brauerei (Schörghuber)
Style: Dunkelweizen
Munich, Germany

Disappointing. I had read good things about HP and this was my first taste. I have another HP, hoping for better results. Overall taste and aftertaste...salty and bitter. Left me very dry and, perish the thought, in need of some water. Aroma unimpressive, appearance likewise. I will steer clear of this in the future.

Wow, why can't all wheat beers taste this good. Nice head which dissipates to decent lacing with minimal carbonation. Aroma is not as strong as a normal wheat beer. The sickly/sweet grassy aroma is not as prominent. There is some wheat, though, with a little clove presence. Color is a medium, cloudy amber. Flavor is quite smooth and sits well in the stomach (in mine, at least, unlike some other wheat beers). Flavor is slightly sweet with honey, wheat and some malt. Finish is pretty clean with a lingering wheat aftertaste but not strong. A very good variation on the traditional wheat beer.

I'm most partial to the Hefe-Weisse, but this goes down good, has a good alcohol kick to it, and just tastes good.

Wheat, bananas and cloves, cloudy brown, huge wheat sheaf head. Bananas and malt flavours? Medium bodied. A good beer, but I like the Hefe weisse a bit more.

Oh sweet caramel and root vegetables, remind me of Eastern earthy soils - take me back to buttered bread and turnips and nuts; creamy, delightful, and with a minimal hop close. Darn good, slightly more crisp and voila, and I'd have my name all over this one!

pours with a big vanilla head, the nose runs wild with citrus and roasted flavors of fruit, it looks like dirty dish water, incredibly brown and mirky. It has a pleasantly creamy mouth feel with a slighty hop-bitter finish, the flavor is complicated, I taste apple, banana and hints of spices that I can't put my finger on. Though I'm not very familliar with the style at all, I would say that this is worth trying. It's mysterious flavor may lead me to purchase another pint.

Hazy orange/brown in color with a tall style type light beige head. Aroma of cocoa wheat with a hint of bananas. Malty and yeasty in flavor with a touch of tartness. A mid level dunkle weiss.

I'm not a big fan of "Dunkel" beers buit this one was very good. It had a very pleasant carmely, roasted, spiced flavor. I think my favorite "Dunkel-Weisse" beer is Ayinger's Ur-Weisse. I would drink this stuff anytime.
