basement aromas, leather, chocolate, toast, barnyard, banana, soy sauce, golden, red, brown foam, cloudy, light sweetness, very bitter, heavily sour, full body, average carbonation, bitter,

roasted malts and floral noble hops with a soft but effervescent body. balanced but malt forward. a nice session beer that falls between a maibock and a marzen, and greatly compliments german food.

Amazing beer with truly unique qualities. Caramel flavor, with floral and honey aromas. One of my all time favorites.

Reddish brown body with a really thick cream colored head. Great lacing. Smell is roasted malt, nuts, and copper. Taste is different than other dunkelweizens I’ve had. Very nice bitterness that has notes of roasted malt, butter, and maybe walnuts/pecans. Medium carbonation. Full bodied. Top notch in my book. Smooth and fun to drink!

Beautiful bottle, nice amber color malty and hoparoma’s in smell, taste, and palate. Very nice bitter finish.

Draft version poured with a creamy white head over a brilliant copper beer. A session beer, it was lighter in body than the taste implies. German malt sweetness nicely balanced by spicy noble hops.

Sweeter than I thought. Very nice head. Re-rate: Every time I have one of these I like it better and better. Pretty complex
