Commercial Description:
Slam Dunkel was a small batch release in 2007. We had such an overwhelming response that we had to put it in the seasonal rotation. We also decided, as brewers, we couldn’t live without drinking this beer every year! This 7% Double Dunkelweizen is unfiltered and made with over 50% wheat malt along with pale, munich, and a touch of chocolate to give it the traditional color and flavor. Bitterness is subdued to allow the Weihenstephen yeast to shine through with those traditional notes of banana and clove. Available in June in bottles and draft. Recipe by Chris Wilson, Head Brewer.

Reddish brown pour with little head. Aroma of hazelnut, almonds, other nutty malt. Smells almost like Frangelico Liquor. Flavor is also mostly hazelnuts, with a bit a banana and clove. Some yeast and fruit. Nice full mouthfeel with good carbonation. Finishes kind of bitter. Pretty cool beer.

Pours a light tan, three-finger head that slowly vanishes leaving some lace. Murky brown/amber color. Good carbonation and medium bodied. Slight wheat nose. Flavor is a sweet yeasty wheat and some fruit, it finishes clean. $2.10 12oz bottle Tully’s Beer & Wine Wells, Me.

Location: On Tap at Gilly’s, 12/29/09



Aroma: Smells of banana, German yeast, spice, and chocolate
Appearance: Hazy, dark orange color
Flavor: Taste is sweet, spicy, and doughy mostly
Palate: Body is medium-full with lively carbonation
Overall Impression: This is a pretty good dunkelweizen, and I like the name. I do not have a whole lot to add other then that.

Bottle: Poured a deep brown color dunkel with a nice foamy head with good retention and light lacing. Aroma of banana bread and caramel is very enticing and more enjoyable then I had expected. Taste is a nice mix between some banana ester with lightly sweet caramel and that distinctive German yeast. Body is quite full with good carbonation and no alcohol was apparent. Very well done with loads of character and some very good balance.

dark caramel and coffee flavor, sweet and very earthy- I thought I was drinking a Belgian Abbey dubbel. Nutty and sweet aftertaste, like baked rye bread. Fantastic.

pours a nice dark brown with a thick head. aroma is strong with wheat and sweet malts. notes of dark fruit, citrus, and some spices stand out. on the palate, it is lighter than expected. overall, a pretty good beer, just not a favorite.

Pours a dark hazy chestnut brown color with slight amber/mahogany edges an a one finger foamy beige head that quickly settles into a thin ring. Not much in the way of lacing. Dark malt aroma with lots of chocolate, caramel and hazelnut accompanied by hints of spicy,peppery clove, citrus peel notes and ripe banana. Medium bodied with some smooth silky chocolate and caramel malt character but the ripe banana and clove flavors are very prominent. Slight citrus peel notes and some subtle hops which really come through in the finish. Pretty quaffable with not much detectable alcohol warmth.

pours out dark honey gold with a thin gray head that was bubbly and fell rather fast. it has a dark ruby brown body with very little lacing. it has a really sweet caramel sugary scent that reminds me of some candy, and maybe a sweet red wine grape aroma also. it has moderate carbonation and a nice soft mouthfeel. it has a strong malt presence and caramel and toffee. not bitter at all in my opinion and the aftertaste is really pleasent and not lingering on and overpowering my senses.
