Kapuziner Weissbier Schwarz

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

poured into tall german. pours a dark caramel with full frothy head, carbonation is present. looks like a coke, but the head does not fizz away. aroma is sweet, fruity,wheat and yeast present. has a malty light chocolate taste, milky in the finish. does not taste as sweet/fruity as aroma indicates. much more malty/chocolaty/milky. you do not get that in the aroma so the taste is a suprise. this was a very good beer, and very smooth and refreshing, interesting in the complexities between the taste and smell.

Didn’t even realize this was made by the EKU people, wheat-y yeasty fruity and not very memorable. Rather have the Kulmbacher Eisbock any day over this. Page 322 of Michael Jackson’s Great Beer Guide and only 315 or his 500 Classic Brews to go

The aroma has chocolate milk, metal, toasted malt, dark fruit, bananas, and brown sugar. The appearance is dark red/brown with a two finger head. The flavor is just like the aroma. The palate is OK but slightly thin with a acidic finish. Overall it’s a good beer with elements that remind me of a porter but in the end it’s not especially remarkable.

Black pour with ruddy milk chocolate tones at the base, a rocky head that dies down into a biege cap. Roast and slight fruit in the aroma, bubblegum, lime, smoke, chipotle, sausage. Good complexity, but I don’t really like it. Very watery, cheap sucrose sweetness, grainy with only a touch of roast or the complexity of the aroma.

I don’t know if the bottle I got was old or what. The head started out OK but disappeared rather quickly. There were also things floating in it. I don’t mean normal dunkel weizen things, just things. The taste reminded me of Bazooka Joe gum. Just not impressed.

very dark murky brown. medium sized tan head. roasty banana aroma. flavor is dark, chalky, bitter, chocolate, coffee with banana.

Pours a dark brown/black with only faint hints of light creeping through the edges. It has a creamy one inch head that fades to a thin cap and thick ring, that leaves behind a nice sheet of lacing. Smell; wheat and roasted dark malts with traces of lemons. There’s a nice presence of cloves and bits of chocolate. Taste; nice wheaty bread dough, with dark chocolate malts on the initial sips. It has a little lemon to it with cloves and just some hints of bananas as it gets warmer. There’s a bit of a hop bitterness in the finish. Mouthfeel is a bit on the thin side. Very drinkable.

Bottle. Brown colour with an off-white head. Aroma is fruit, malt, sweet. Flavour is sweet, fruit, caramel, hop.
