Kapuziner Weissbier Schwarz

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

Poured from bottle a murky chocolate brown with large tan head. Aroma is soft with yeast, light clove and some dustiness. Flavor is caramel sweet, mild banana, clove, yeast, and toasted bread. Patate is almost chewy sweet, tingly on the tongue with high carbonation and full with a big malt mouthfeel. Overall, nice flavors and good carbonation. This one has more maltiness and sweetness than I expected but not bad. I would definitely drink this one again when I want a change of pace.

Bottled. Nice bronze color with nice head. Went down smooth but did not have that heavy texture often associated with dark beers. Good Hefe flavor with just a hint of spice. Goes great with a slice of brown bread and a slice of brie.

Bottle. Hazy dark brown beer with a light tan head. Light roast and wheat aroma. Light roast, nutty, wheat flavors with light spice. Medium bodied. Lingering wheat, light roast, light earth, and spice.

Bottle: Pours a muddy brown color with tan head and light lacing. The nose is really nutty with light roast and some subtle cinnamon and banana. Clean wheat and chewy caramel notes. The mouthfeel is chewy with a light citrus note. Creamy finish. Nice coffee and light roasted almond notes. Good solid dunkelweiss.

Bottled. An unclear dark brown beer with a huge and persistent light brown head. The aroma is nice but maybe too mild. there are light roasty notes and caramel, nuts and wheat. The flavour is quite unusual for the style: less sweetness, less banana, more caramel and milk chocolate notes, still remaining recognizable its wheatiness. Interesting flavours. medium body, lively carbonation, medium lenght finish with light to medium bitterness. Rather mild aroma but good appearence, flavour and palate. A surprise.

This dunkel pours a dark brown color from a 50cl bottle. Large sized off-white foamy head, with long retention and nice lacing. The aroma is cocoa, banana, yeast and wheat. A medium bodied dunkel. The malts are wheaty and chocolate. Lots of banana and fruit flavors. The hops are earthy and slightly spicy. Lively carbonation. Seems more maltly and less fruity than most dunkels. Lots of yeastiness at the finish. Very drinkable dunkel. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

.5L bottle, dark hazy brown, pours with an exceptionally vigorous head that is resilient. Neutral aroma with a slight crispy whole wheat bread smell. Taste is at first roasty and lightly dextrinous, it then melts into a fair amount of mid tongue hop bitterness and finishes out somewhat watery and dry. Cleanly brewed beer with no glaring flaws, no real stand out character either. Pleasant and drinkable.

Tap@ gasthof, Southern Germany. Dark brown with a super creamy white head. Smooth, caramel, wheat, bread, banana & liquiorice. Some ashy notes. Very nice!
