LordCorkscrew (939), Ronco Scrivia (GE), Italy Sep 9, 2007 Updated: Sep 18, 2007Bottiglia da 50cl allo Unicorn di Brescia; schiuma abbondante e cremosa, colore scurissimo e impenetrabile. Aroma cioccolata, caffè, banana, nocciola; sapore invece decisamente sbilanciato su quest’ultima con note di complessità notevoli sia per lo stile sia per la produzione. Una dunkelweizen ’tosta’ che ha incontrato un’estimatore. Stupenda. ENGLISH TEXT HERE 50cl @ Unicorn pub in Brescia; nice big creamy head, dark and cloudy color. Aroma is chocolate, coffee, banana, nuts; flavor is nut over all with notes of notable complexity for the style. A very tasty dunkelweizen that has met a fan. Fabulous. asheft (1374), Marburg, Germany Aug 23, 2007 [bottle]
Phenolics dominate the aroma along with some sourness that may come from the wheat. Also some soft banana esters come into the nose as the beer warms. Cloudy very dark brown--nearly opaque--under an eternal, thick, tan merangue. This beer tastes like a hybrid porter-weizen. The toasty, but not roasty, dark malts tend to dominate the flavour yet harmonize with the weizen fermentation characteristics (banana, clove, bubblegum). Not overly sweet and no hops bitterness. Chocolatey and bready. Medium body, high carbonation, only a touch of dark malt bitterness permeate the finish. Really interesting. CaptainCougar (5379), Rockville, Maryland, USA Jul 31, 2007 Pours a nearly opaque dark mahogany with a frothy, clingy-lacing airy tan head. Sweet dark toasty malty nose has some doughy yeast and banana character. Body starts fairly full and lightly sweet with nice wheaty character and a touch of roasted malt toward a yeasty finish. A nice and very drinkable dunkelweiss. krysztofar (344), belleville, Illinois, USA Jul 29, 2007 murky brown color looks like water from the mississippi. light carbonation can be seen rising to the top of this blackened wheat beer. sweet light bubblegum and faint roasted aromas are present. malty bubblegum flavor gives way to a fine robust and roasted taste with bitter chocolate and subtle coffee notes. the finish however is watery and uninspiring . wxman (582), O’Fallon, Illinois, USA Jul 24, 2007 Pours a mahogany color with a full light tan head. Mild malt aroma along with some earthy tones. Smooth fresh and sweet wheat malt flavor along with some chocolate notes and a very thin texture. This is really good and very refreshing this time of year. Beats all the lawn mower beers hand down. BigBen2120 (688), Derry, New Hampshire, USA Jul 3, 2007 500ml bottle from A-1 To-Go. Dark brown body with ruby-red highlights and a half an inch of light tan head. Smells like chocolate and caramel malts. Very sweet and roasty, with chocolate and caramel malts playing a prominent role in the flavor. A bit of a smokiness is present as well. Creamy mouthfeel with a fair bit of carbonation to support it, making for a clean finish. A pretty damn good dunkel all-in-all. zootfinster (179), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jun 29, 2007 In my opinion, this beer is little more then water infused with a bit of chocolate and hops. Beyond that it has no flavor, no finish, no aroma. I think this is very bad beer
Retorp (2154), Tampa, Florida, USA Jun 28, 2007 Very big overripe banana, mild chocolate, raisin and caramel. Very huge concentration, but it fades. Sort of the nice, but fading aromatic equivelant of a head. The body is a dark brown with dark ruby hues and holds a diminishing, two finger thick, tan head. Eventually it compresses to a penicl thickness and holds. Some apple, banana, cocoa powder, bitter toasted grains. A tad watery in the finish. Some faint coffee and banana lingers in the aftertaste.
