12oz bottle. Bottle labeled BB Oct ’06 (damn, and I just bought this from the store 2 weeks ago). Poured a deep and murky/muddy amber color with a larger sized off white head. Aromas of wheat, bananas, and a trace of spices. Tastes of wheat, caramel, toffee, chocolate, and a hint of bananas.

Bottle pours a murky maple syrup color with moderate sustained off white head. Slightly toasty nose with some spicey,burnt sugar notes. Dunkelweizen flavors, lightly sour malts and soft carbonation. Pretty accurate to style I would think.

UPDATED: MAR 27, 2007 Pours a four finger light tan head that fades to a ring leaving some lace. Cloudy amber color. Light carbonation and light bodied. Wheat/malty nose. Flavor has sweetness from the malt and there is wheat and yeast coming through as well. $9.99 - 4-pak, 12oz bottle from Shaw’s Supermarket Concord, NH.

Poured a hazy amber color with a small creamy off-white head. The aroma was big sweet and malty. Good notes of caramel, dried dark fruits, apples and raisins. The flavor is on the bland side after a nice aroma.. Mild wheaty lemon notes. Some maltiness...dull. Light to medium bodied.

12oz. burnt amber/mahogany haze with an admirable foamy head; reveals a nice lacing. pleasant aromas of ripe citrus, lemon peel, subtle spice, and caramel malts. tastes like a hefe, but with a certain nougat-caramel thickness to it. thus, "dark wheat beer". could use more spice/hops/tingly mouthfeel, but it’s alright. the finish was a tad thin, but no harm no foul. a good attempt by boston brew co.

Bottle from UncleMattie! Nose of yeast, bananas, caramel, and alcohol; hazy brown with a small beige head; roasted malt, tartness, and a touch of molasses in the flavor.Watery body, OK but not that good.

this wasnt the best out of the four pack of "old school" ales. interesting brew but leaves much to be desired.
