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.

This pours a rich, opaque, cloudy wood-brown with a fine-bubbled beige head. Aroma is rich and wheaty, with a strong hint of lemon even without the obligatory lemon wedge. Flavor is rich, wheaty and yeasty, with a little malt and a "rubbery" undertone. Mouthfeel is thick and smooth. This is unlike any beer I have ever had before.

22oz bomber from The Lighthouse in Manchester. Pours a murky opaque brown body with a good inch of light tan head. Smells like cloves, banana, nuts, smoke, hints of lemon grass... Tastes like nut, banana, cloves with some hints of caramel and chocolate malts and smoke. Rich full body with ample carbonation. In a word, phenomenal. Damn tasty, one sip invites another... I’m very impressed with this one, one if Weyerbacher’s finest offerings and for sure one of the best beers around for the price.

I’m very impressed and pleased with this! A nice reddish brown cloudy color, huge foaming head. Aroma is rich and refreshing, alot of spicy zesty wheatiness, and a touch of clove and banana. Flavor is light and refreshing, with zesty minty wheat and again just touch of clove and banana. Finish is light and easy. On the whole the beer is semi-dry, except for a nice melanoidin presence in the middle of this beer, which is quickly carried off with lots of carbonation. Just a 100% spot on dunkelweizen.

wonderful ochre color, fruity, bready sweet aroma with clove and banana. Very much like the counterpart from Victory, a little thinner though

Dark brown pour, nice pillowy head and lacing. Sweet aroma of banana wheat bread. The flavor was roasty, bananas, a good deal of cloves and wheaty yeastiness. Rich and full and the alcohol flavor complimented this well. I was really liking this. Another good one from Weyerbacher...a brewer who gets not enough love.

Bomber. Cloudy light brown pour with nice lacing and a thin off white head. Aroma of bread, wheat and caramel. Taste of wheat and bread with some brown sugar mixed in. Absolutely fantastic!

A seriously good brown ale, almost nutty. Flavors were balanced by slightly sweet. A plethora of flavors really. Pours light brown with a creamy head.

Poured thin tan head and clidy dark amber/brown. Aroma is bready banana and cola with a faint sour note. The sourness comes through more in the flavor wirh a little more of the cola sweetness and a little pepper to balance it our. There are some grape and banana flavors In there that quickly relent to the tangle of bitter and sour that finishes. The sour overpowers but it’s still very enjoyable. I wish I had another 22.
