Poured this into a Heffe glass. Had a medium brown color with an off-white creamy three finger head that stuck around.

Aroma was that of banana,followed by wheat, malt and some hops. Really had my mouth watering for that first sip!

First taste was a roasty malt followed by wheat and yeast, with a mild hop finish. Really tasty!

Mouth feel was a medium body with moderate carbonation. Unlike some reviews I felt carbonation was just about right on this one.

This is a very drinkable beer. Not the best but a good solid pick for a dunkel Heffe. I will definitely pick this up if I see it again.

L: rich dark brown, with lighter edges near the side of the glass, and darker in the center. Darker khaki head that has decent retention.
S: rich dark red fruit, malt, and Worcestershire sauce.
T: molasses, cherries, creamy, and a hint of spice.
F: very fine bubbles, a little too much carbonation.

Rich, pleasant, and goes well with spicy food. I'm curious how this would be in a stew stock, such as in a beef or venison stew. Probably would go well with roast meat.

3.86/5  rDev +0.5%
look: 4.25 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Appearance:
Pours a humble, chestnut brown and billows up a voluminous beige head that gradually settles into a placid halo. Laces in a classy, unbroken curtain all the way to the last drop.

Bouquet:
A big bushel of hard red winter wheat, roasted barley, malted wheat, spiced bread, and a hint of fresh sliced banana in the aftermath.

Feel:
A hearty, medium body worthy of the winter season, yet it washes down like a lighter ale with limited linger. A moderate bustle of bubbles keeps it feeling lively. Simultaneously robust and refreshing, which is quite unique.

Taste:
A wheat-heavy, grain-laden, banana bread with a pixie dusting of cloves baked in.

Overall:
The banana aspect is easy to miss but becomes simpler to distinguish when the beer gets to around 55 degrees Fahrenheit. A nice dunkelweizen.

From the bottle, it pours a hazy brown color with a large tan head that slowly dissipates. In the nose, bread and bananas. In the mouth, a silky smooth caramel and bread taste with some banana backing. Nice!

Poured from a bottle into a tulip glass. Beautiful head and lacing, deep brown color. Fruity smell. Banana and clove taste with a bit of smokiness. Rich feel. Overall, pretty good.
