Sep 5, 2008 Poured from bottle and shared by Dragonstout. Thanks Brian! Nice brownish orange pour. Aroma of sweet malt. Flavor was sweet brown sugar, citrus, and even a tad of cinnamon. I actually really enjoy dark hefes. And this one was very good on a hot summers day!

Aug 29, 2008 Bottle from Sam’s. Cloudy pretty average brown pour (slight orange, tan head). Banana and yeast and malt on the nose, but nothing overly complex. Solid. Palate and taste were both a little thin, and something was a bit off-- a bit cardboard tasting. Perhaps this bottle wasn’t a good one. Very drinkable, though.

Aug 20, 2008 Poured from bottle a cloudy dark-amber with a large slightly off-white head. Aroma is malty sweet with a little tart citrus and a faint clove and banana. Flavor is sweet with malt, caramel, yeast, dough and a hint of banana and clove. Palate is creamy and sweet with a little carbonation tang. Overall ok, but lacks the more spicy clove and banana traits I like in a weizen. Very similar to the Tucher helles weizen except for the caramel trait in the dunkles.

Jul 20, 2008 50cl bottle from Willow Bend Liquors (Tampa, FL). Pours a dark brown/caramel color with a massive white-tan head. Excellent head retention and lacing. Aroma is mainly sweet malt with hints of caramel, brown sugar, grain, bread, and yeast. Flavor is sweet and malty as well with slightly subdued caramel and brown sugar and more prominent notes of roasted marshmallow, bread, yeast, and a hint of spice. Generally medium-bodied with a smooth, slightly sweet finish.
