| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 29, 2009 Bottle, labelled "Schwarz-Weizen." Pours mahogany brown with three finger cream-colored head that never disappeared. The aroma is interesting... You know when you’re roasting marshmallows on a campfire, but you get it too close to the coals and it bursts into flames. Then you blow it out and you have a heap of charred sugar at the end of a stick. That is exactly what this beer smells like to me, with a few background hints of mocha, earth, and pepper. The flavor is burnt caramel, some mild mocha, yeasty banana notes, and a bubblegum character that intensifies as it gets closer to room temperature. The finish is ashy and sweet. The mouthfeel is rich and bready. I actually really liked this beer. wcampbell (576), Central, South Carolina, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Jan 13, 2009 Dark wheaty taste, lightly sweet aroma. Roasted wheat malts dominate the taste. Not much else going on. A little thin tasting, would have preffered a slightly stronger beer for the style. Small head and light carbonation throughout. jfb (416), Weihenstephan, Germany
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 13, 2009 (bottle) pours a dark, murky ruby-brown colour with a tall off-white head. aroma of dark strongly toasted malt, very grainy, with a hint of coffee and herbal hops. flavour is the same, with very dominant roasted notes and a dark chocolate finish. full-bodied with lively carbonation and a roasted-bitter finish. brianprentiss (473), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Jan 5, 2009 brownish dark, with light head. roasted malts right up front with a banana/fruity element as well. pretty well-conceived beer but not really in my sweet spot. Grizzle (44), Lawrence, Kansas, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 4, 2009 1 pt. 9 fl. oz. bottle shared with my wife over a couple of grilled steaks, roasted beets, and a great salad. The beer complemented it all well. Poured a nice mahogany with funk in the bottom. You know what I’m talking about... Light head ringed the glass after the initial pour. The malty aroma has subtle notes of chocolate under the more dominant notes of wheat and cereal. The taste is definitely a roasted malt, wheat, with a little chocolate and caramel, and a slight hint of hops at the finish. Harsebrau (164), Kansas City, Missouri, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Dec 30, 2008 Very dark pour. Tan head that seems to last unlike many other weizens I have tried recently. You can really taste the roasted malts. Smoky start that at swallow turns round and almost fruity. astrofrk (218), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
