Fairly full, even pungent nose - yeast and dough. Cloudy brown colr and a fizzy tan head. Wheat body followed by a slight chocolate and toasted finish. Thinner than I wanted but a full taste. Clean palate.

A dark brown beer with a fine light brown head. The aroma is sharp acidic and the flavor is sweet, slightly roasted and with notes of caramel as well as wheat, but the body is thin.

This is beautifully presented in the long weizen glass that shows off its rich cumulo nimbus like head. Atop the deep amber this bodes well. There is a good hit of spicy wheat character in the nose with a low hop presence. The taste has a fair degree of phenols but these are appropriate for the style, which is redolent of apple, banana and peach. The aftertaste is very refreshing and as a style this beer is perfectly suited to the clammy Kuala Lumpur weather. An excellent summer beer.

Cloudy dark amber coloured with good lasting head. Aroma is yeast and malt, flavour is malty and fruity.

Dark color with nice white head. Has a nice malty taste with flavours of fruit and spices. Finishes with a nice sweet taste.

Bottled at the Danish Beerfestival 2003: Hazy dark amber coloured. Has a nice white head. Malty and quite yeasty in the nose. Spicy flavour with light banana notes. Nice sweetness in the end.

this is a dark wheat well out of order, as it is *not* sweet. big contrast to the malty chocolate tast e.g. of Erdinger dark wheat. Quite unique in my experience. The sweet-malty tongues certainly will not like it.

certainly not as interesting as the helles. i used to prefer dunkles but somehow i’ve gone the other way lately

Smells like the Aventinus. Nice brown appearance. Good beer.

A terrific dunkel wheat, however the alcohol shows through in a bad way.
