2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: AUG 24, 2011
2011-08-17, draught at the brewpub, 5% ABV, 5-4-6-2-11=28
Dark brown color. Light smell of dirty water, some chocolate and some roasted malt. Mild roasted malt flavor, without wheat character; dusty roastiness, providing some bitterness too. Below par.
2010-03-26, draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver, 5.5% ABV, 5-4-6-2-11=28
Cloudy dark brown color, with creamy head. Very light caramel and banana aroma. Reasonable body strength; correct flavor of roasted malt and caramel, correct bitterness, with a drier feeling in the end; the final has roasted nuts too. Simple.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle (mine says 5.0%). Dark brazil-nut brown. Lots of chocolate malt, a little roast, light acidic finish. Not one that I would put into the dunkelweizen category (waaay more dunkel than weizen), more like a porter or brown ale than anything. Still, it is a nice brew.

2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
(Draught) Sampled at the brewery in a 6oz glass. Pours a lasting white foamy head with a ruby brown body. Nose is rather malted. No carbonation? Flavour is a tad bitter and not aromatic. This could be too old on the taps?
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Deep brown colour with a coppery tint, thin head, malty aroma. Flavour is quite nutty, with some smoky character that I’ve seen in a few of Longwood’s beers. Dark fruitiness and a sharp acidic finish.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20
Brown with tan head. Great wheat and malt nose.Good wheat malt flavor, quite sweet. Great lace. Good body. The best of their regular beers
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Light malty flavour, watery, not very wheaty and missing most of the nice flavours you’d expect in a real Dunkelweizen.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
UPDATED: DEC 26, 2004 Golden-brown colour. Bright. Nutmeggy aroma with some dark chocolate notes. Milk chocolate and stable notes on the palate. I got that stable (dung) character in the Pilsner, too, and it’s very distinct and totally inappropriate. Though they shouldn’t be using the same yeast for this as for the Pilsner, maybe they are and maybe that yeast is developing an unpleasant life of its own. Moderate body. Sweetish finish with slight toffee note and lots more of that stable note mixed with cigarette smoke (Longwood is a non-smoking pub).
