Kapuziner Weissbier Schwarz

This pours a brown body with orange highlights and a tall tan head. No lacing. The aroma is milk chocolate, soft wheat, and burnt toast. A hint off banana is added to the flavor. Fairly decent.

Bottle. Pours pretty dark, kind of crazy tasting. Chocolate, mixed w/wheat - really I didn’t feel it was that successful though it was interesting.

(500 ml bottle from <A HREF=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/maine/portland/downeast-beverage-co/974.htm target=blank>Downeast Beverage Co.) Tastes a little weird...Pours cloudy brown with a very tall tan head. Aroma is light brown sugar, maybe a hint of banana. Kind of thin-bodied. Can feel bits of suspended solids. Flavor is hard to describe but kind of weakly chocolatey with maybe a bit of a smoky hint. Maybe a hint of banana in there as well. Don’t know what they were going for here but the overall flavor was just not that enjoyable.

Bottled. A hazy, very dark brown colour with big foamy white head. Some wheat, bananas, cocoa and slight yeast in the aroma. Flavour is surprisingly watery, but does have some fruity notes as well as wheat.

Surprisingly dark pour, nearly black. Fluffy white head. Rather weak aroma of wheat and chocolate. Taste reveals a bit of banana but the body was thin and watery. Finish has some fruit but remains unremarkable.

Pours very dark bronze with a tawny hue and rich dense tan head. The aroma has very dark wheat with dried bananas, cocoa and cream along with roastiness. Medium / thick body at first that is rich and lush, but the finish is quite thin and watery. The taste starts with a little banana and some dark wheat, but its a bit watery and astringent. The finish gets quite tinny. The aroma is good, but the taste is only mediocre. Decenct, but overall a thumbs down .

Black, tall beige head. Mild flavour with malts, roasted bread and notes of yeast. Medium complex flavour woth more malts and bread, coffee, yeast. Even chocolate? Bananas... good stuff.

Bottle. Black colour with a nice big beige head. Aroma and flavour of wheat, chocolate, fruit, coffee and yeast.
