4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
500 ml swingtop bottle, will soon be available at Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 5.4%. Dark brown colour, huge beige head. Lovely strong aroma of banana, cloves, mildly roasted malts and rye bread, a hint of chocolate. Bready flavour with mildly roasted malts and chocolate again, some cloves and banana in the background. Not too sweet. Low on hops, as normal for the style, but the roasted malts make the finish acceptable. Beautifully balanced, a very fine Dunkelweizen.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
50 cl bottle.
Originally rated on 20110114.
Pours dark copper-red color with a medium sized head. Aroma of caramel, sugar, some ripe fruit notes and malts. Flavor of sugar, mild wheat notes, yeast, toffee and mild caramel notes. Decent.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Opaque black-brown with an over-active head at the beginning, swirls of lace. I can’t tell if my bottle is old, or if it is the expected flavor, but after a typical toasted caramel onset, the flavor takes on a yeasty sourness that doesn’t complement it at all. Drinkable, but not for me.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Looks nice, the color is very dark, nearly black, and the head large and frothy. The head also lasts long. Aroma has maltiness, mostly dark malts, and even a little roasty notes. Some typical fruity and yeasty notes appear but not very much. The taste is malty and a little roasty with fruity notes. Palate is light; the carbonation somewhat lively. Overall, a much darker beer than a typical dunkelweizen, both in color and in taste. Still very drinkable but lacks character.
