Kapuziner Weissbier Schwarz

Brewed by Kulmbacher Brauerei (Schörghuber)
Style: Dunkelweizen
Kulmbach, Germany

Bottle. Poured a very dark brown to almost black color. Very large off-white head that lasted until the end. Left a pretty good lacing on my glass. Aroma of banana with a hint of clove. Flavors of bubblegum, banana, clove and caramel. Very dark for a dunkelweizen. I really liked this beer a lot.

A modest and unreadable bottle (for my non-German eyes) but what an incredible drinking experience. Deep, shaggy brown, like the silty bottom of a well soaked mud puddle. The beer’s particulate matter even gives the illusion of silt. The head is smooth and consistent like a well laid layer of light brown whipped cream. But the fun really begins in the aroma. Here’s the grocery list I compiled as I laboriously labored over the smell: roast chicken, savory teriyaki sauce, butter, blackened fish, grilled steak char, rotisserie pork and brown sugar. All the finest meaty flavors congregating in the same tight and confined space of a beer bottle. I’m amazed such a saintly thing can even be purchased at a lowly "store." The taste is a genuine dopelleganger of the aroma. My mouth is immediately struck by the beer’s uncanny mimicry of Korean ribs. Juicy, tender and well spiced, this beer is an incredible panoramic view of flavors. Other flavors included apple glazed pork, charcoal, cocoa powder, shwarma and sweet starchy root vegetables. I couldn’t make up "Apple glazed pork" if I tried, but there it is. Add this buffet of tastes to a creamy and soothing palate and you’ve got an amazing and memorable beer. Such a surprise, this humble bottle.

Bottle poured a cloudy dark brown nearly black with a lasting creamy tan head. Aromas of wheat, carmel, clove, light banana and a hint of smoke. Palate was light to medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of wheat, carmel, light clove and a hint of banana with a smooth lightly sweet finish.

I like this. Fruity-malt aroma on an almost opaque body. Chocolate and raisins greet you with a malty aroma. Medium palate- a little hops to see you off. Head seems to hang around. Hmm... not what I expected. I like. I like. May have a wee bit of cherry. Just dry enough to wet the palate. I didn’t see anyone mention cherrys. Maybe that is the malt combination and the hop ratio. Hmm well done.

...great beer. Got one bottle from Knightly Spirits for a new try. Nice, creamy brownish head that lasts and lasts. Nose is roasted, smooth on the tongue, I was impressed. Not too dark or alcoholic, wheat malt consistent, nice sediment. Definitely worth a try.

Dark brown with large beige head.Aroma of rosted malt and brown bread,feels fresh with some note of wheat.

Bottle. Medium sized semi-fizzy tan head that mostly diminished, spotty lacing, transparent, fizzy, fast rising carbonation, and an orange brown hue. The aroma was malty, sweet, chocolate, roasty, some bananas, and wheat. Ditto for the flavor with a semi-dry finish.Mouthfeel was smooth and semi-dry. Light-medium in body. Quaffable, easy to drink, goes down very smooth, balanced, would drink this again, and worthy of a try IIMO.

500ml bottle (Poseidon, Helsinki)
Black, some red pokes through the haze. Large doughy head. Dry and dusty aroma. A little fizzy in the mouth and slightly watery (I’d previously had 2 very dense and sticky beers), but not thin, just refreshing. Sweet under-roasted beany coffee or cocoa taste. Slightly milky, but also some actual burntness, but very mellow. Finish is quite sweet and a little nuttiness.
