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.

Dark muddy brown with a big head. Chocolatey malt aroma with some dark fruits (grape, apple, raisin) and light bubblegum phenols. Very soft body, a little oily, with low carbonation. Slightly toasted with dark fruit. Solid, functional dessert beer and rendition of the Aventinus concept.

Pours a hazy copper orange with a stringy-lacing light-tan head. Aroma of sweet doughy dark caramel malt, fruity bananas and Bavarian yeast. Body starts fairly full and toasty caramely sweet with nice peppery clove notes and authenticity. Well balanced and very drinkable, a nice dunkelweizen.

Poured a medium and cloudy brown color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of toast, bready, caramel, spices, and a little fruity. Tastes of chocolate, fruity (bananas), and spices. Alcohol well hidden.
