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.

Fruity yeast aroma with a slight burnt notes. Moderately dark cloudy brown color with a small almond head. Mild beginning with a sweet and smoky middle and end. Creamy palate.

22oz bomber pours a translucent, murky brown with a thin, slightly creamy slightly beige head. Smells pretty good, strong, sugary, sweet aroma, dark grains, stale bread, bananas, caramel and yeast. Flavor is very fruity, ripe bananas, plums, pears, wheat, brown sugar, bread and a little rum. Finish is sweet and dry with only a medium mouthfeel. I don’t love dunkelweizens, but this was a very good representation of the style and very drinkable.

On tap at Oldsmar Tap House. I have spoken with a few people, and many say this is much better on tap. It pours a murky, deep brown color with a creamy off-white head. Lots of sugary banana, spice, and light fruit with nice sweetness to it. Finish is sweet and lingering. Thoroughly enjoyable Dunkel.

12oz bottle from Capone’s (Norristown, PA). Pours a murky, deep brown with a moderate sized tan head. Aroma of dark wheat, clove, banana, and bubblegum. Flavor is wheaty, with some yeast, chocolate, fairly strong banana, some spice, tropical fruit and moderate alcohol. Creamy mouthfeel. Long, dark wheat finish. Nice Dunkel

Thought it was pretty funny when I searched for this beer on the site, about 10 other beers have the same name. 22oz bottle. Dark hazy brown pour with nice one-inch off-white head. Expected flavors of chocolate, malt, banana, and clove. Bready/yeasty and caramel apples as well. Thin. Tastes a bit stronger than 7% to my palate -- a bit of a sharp finish. Tasty overall, though.
