I drank this from a bottle into a chalice.
This beer pours a dark black with a light tan creamy head. The head is about 2 inches and has some decent retention lasting about 3 minutes then forms a soapy head. There is some watery lacing, but nothing special.
The aroma of the beer is a little to light but what you can get is some roasted chocolate, spices, and maybe some caramel.
The taste is great it starts off with some chocolate, has a nice warm body and sticks to your tongue. As you finish there is a distint hint of wheat and a nice lasting flavor. This beer is great, but lacks a little on drinkability.

Nov 29, 2009 I don’t know how this brewery manages to make so many good beers. The beer pours a nearly opaque brown-black with an inch of light brown head. The sweet Belgian yeasts are the first to hit the nose. Then the roasted grain. And the flavors hit in the same order followed by roasted grain and chocolate flavors. The roasted flavors seem to perfectly compliment the sweet yeasts and the finish is just the right amount of dryness. Yet another winner from NG. Keep up the good work!

Nov 26, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a deep, hazy mahogany color, frothy off-white head. Aroma is spicy, with citrus and coriander notes. Flavor is citrusy up front , with some malty cocoa and anise notes in the middle, and a spicy finish. Body feels slightly full. Overall I enjoyed this very unique beer. It took me a while to track it down, but I finally found a lone six pack hiding behind some other products at the one place in town that carries it. Worth the trouble!

Nov 21, 2009 Pours deep brown with a big off white head. Nice mix of grains, spices, chocolate and coffee, but it still has a nice cripspness from the wheat. A bit thicker on the pallete then the cracked wheat, but still darn good. Thanks GRIM!!!

Nov 14, 2009 Bottle (thanks guyinchicago!)... Poured deep brownish/amber with a thick tan head that faded quickly. Cocoa malts a caramel on the nose. Smokey, chocolate malts, a little coffee and some hops even. Spiced notes, and fruits. Dry finish. Amazingly complex for the mellow ABV.

Nov 13, 2009 12oz bottle served in a weizen glass. Dark, dark brown pour with a two-finger thick head of tan foam that slowly settled. Probably the darkest dunkelweizen I have ever seen. Slippery lacing. The aroma had banana, citrus, chocolate, and some spicy yeast esters. The flavor was fairly roasty with strong notes of chocolate, bananas, fruity citrus, and a hint of burnt malt. Dry, chalky mouthfeel with a moderate amount of aggressive carbonation. Quite tasty, but the darker roast flavors overwhelm the wheat just a bit.

Nov 13, 2009 Bottle thanks to Brigadier. Pours with a creamy tan head and a black body. Aroma is strong of wheat even without going anywhere near the beer. Closer inspection reveals coffee, wheat, caramel, sharp clove, banana esters, chocolate and light smoke. Taste is spicy and estery with wheat and chocolate. A touch of leather as well. Decently dry. Coffee. Brimming with carbonation, creamy. Tons of clove in the finish. Dan Carey is the king of wheat beers!
