Paulaner Hefeweissbier Dunkel

Brewed by Paulaner Brauerei (Schörghuber)
Style: Dunkelweizen
Munich, Germany

Fruity,malty, wheat. Amber with solid head. Fresh light sweet taste of malts. Good dunkelweizen!

a nice hefe. typical full bodied german that is refreshing and tasty. the flavors of banana and clove are there in proper measure. and a more than adequate and quality sweetness has been inbedded to satisfy. nut bready and substantial, this has an appropriate carbonation to make it smooth and almost chewy.

From bottle. Hazy dark amber body with a niche foamy head. Nose is ripe banana with some hints of clove. Banana and caramel in mouth, with a yeasty finish. Light carbonation makes it heavier than the hefeweizen, which is appropriate for a dunkel, still it is quite refreshing. On the par with the other products from this bavarian brewer.

Berlin Trip beer No.16. Bottle. Couldn’t find it on tap, so had a bottle with a meal. Yellow/brownish body. Small yellowish head. Bananas, some malty sweetness. Not much in the way of spices. It has a slightly medicinal flavour. Short finish. I was a bit let down by this as I’m a big fan of their weizen hell.

Bottle. Murky brown amber with a good head. A little malt and obviously some banana in the nose. Tastes unexceptional but solid still with banana and clove at the tail end. Easy on the mouth. This is my watermark for a dunkelweizen.

Pours a mahogany color with a ton of head. Not sure if someone shook this bottle all the way from Germany to Panama, it seems like it. Not the best style for the tropics, but for the style seems right on. The bananay esters are there, just like the Paulaner hefe blonde, but with extra malty, honey, almost butterscotch notes. Not cloying, and good long finish for the style. Never seen this before in Panama, and not sure I will ever again.

Bottle. Pours dark amber, nice off white head. Aroma of yeast, caramel malts and slight bubblegum. Wheaty flavor with toffe notes. Smooth, biscuity. Solid brew. How this ranks only in the upper 70’s overall is beyond me. This is an excellent beer.

Bottle, 50 cl. Cloudy amber, large but quickly disappearing fluffy off-white head. Toffeish and fruity malt aroma, some clove and banana in the background. Medium bodied, lively carbonation. Very refreshing flavour, some light sweetness, some acidity, and some bitterness.
