500 ml bottle at home in Germany, thanks to shrubber85. Pous a hazy brown color with nice tan head. Aroma is over ripe bananas, cloves and some brown sugar (the aroma is top class). Taste is sweet chocolate malt and some bananas. A bit thin but within limits and palate is a wheat aftertaste. Nice beer.

Muffig hefiger Beginn. Laff, in weiten Teilen wässrig. Wenig dunkles Malz, zum Ende hefiger, süßlich. In Ordnung. 8/6/7/7/8/6

Copper pour with small tan head. Aroma of grains and caramel, slight corn too. Flavor of popcorn, some grain, hint of caramel. Roasty malt finish.

Bottle 500ml. @ home.

(bottle) Cloudy, chestnut-brown colour with a big and beige foamy head. Sweet and yeasty, dark berry-fruity nose with a moderate wheat-character, accompanied by notes of chocolate. Sweet and slightly sour-fruity flavour, light to medium bodied with a moderate, slightly crispy carbonation. Wheaty and dark malty taste with berry-fruity accents; light-sweet and slightly fruity finish with wheaty accents and traces of chocolate and berries in the aftertaste. Good one (11.08.08).

Bottled. An unclear brown beer with a huge tan head. The aroma is sweet malty with strong notes of banana and medium notes of wheat. The flavor is sweet malty with primary notes of wheat, but also ligth notes of banana, leading to a dry wheaty finish.

Bottle. Ripe banana, clove and brown sugar aroma. Cloudy orange brown color with nice light tan head. Brown sugar and chocolate malt flavor with light banana flavor . Medium body and long lasting bready aftertaste.

Bottle, 5.2%. Distinct banana aroma. Cloudy dark brown colour, a bit muddy. Stable tan head. The flavour has banana too, but also a bready roastedness and slightly unpleasant bitterness. Faint sweetness in the finish.

Bottle: Hazy, brownish-amber coloured, stable and lacing off-white, creamy head, sourish-wheaty nose with a faint touch of dark-malt; moderate sweetish, slightly tart flavour, medium bodied, smooth MF; moderate sweetish-wheaty finish with dark-malty traces. Not bad, but IMO an average Dunkelweizen........

Bottle. Spicy, almost christmassy aroma (I am not making this up) orangepeel, clove, a bit gingerbread. Murky brown, eggnog cream. Ryebread base with spices, smoked banana in the background. Slightly too light body to make this the optimal winterbrew - turn this into a Weizenbock and Bob is you uncle. Roasted light citric retronasal.
