Poured from a 50 cl bottle into a weizen.

A: Medium brown. Pours a 2 finger, foamy, white head. Craters slowly and unevenly. No real lacing.

S: Molasses and sweet tea.

T: White bread, wheat, and tea leaf.

M: Light with a slightly sweet finish.

D: Sessionable.

Atmosphere is pretty good. Really nice head, no real lacing. Nose is sweet and bitter. Bready with a bitter and sweet component. Overall, this is a good quaff.

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.
