Glass: Standard US pint glass

Three Sheeps' black wheat beer smells and tastes like a stout that apparently uses a variety of wheat malts along with barley. This comes across as an enjoyable, baker's chocolate and heavily toasted bread-forward beer that would be good to get again if one was looking for a stout-like wheat-based beer.

Pours a fairly towering and ever-expanding head, dark beige in color, made up of large-sized bubbles for a very dish soap like appearance. Retention is excellent, the head lasting several minutes before falling to a thin ring around the perimeter of the glass. Lacing is not present. Beer is a dark brown to black in color, with light bringing out lighter brown hues around the edges of the body. Carbonation visible along the sides of the glass, but not through the opaque body, high in number andn activity.

Aroma of low base malt sweetness, notable roast malt that gives some dark chocolate, cocoa powder, and darkly toasted bread, along with minor phenolics from the yeast that clash a bit with the roast, but are low enough to escape being unappealing.

Front of palate tastes light sweetness mixed with roasted malt characters (cocoa, charred toast) and slight yeast phenolics. Mid-palate of roasted malt contributing some dark chocolate, cocoa, charred (but not burnt) toast, and phenolics from yeast that are not necessarily in line with the other flavors, but are low enough to escape detracting significantly. Back of palate experiences smooth roasted malt giving a bit of baker's chocolate and charred toast, with phenolics in the background. Aftertaste of roasted malt that gives some dark chocolate, light sweetness, a bit of charred toast, and light bitterness from roasted malt.

Beer is medium-light in body, with carbonation of medium-high intensity, resulting in a slightly fizzy, then foamy (3/4) and smooth (1/4) mouthfeel. A bit less carbonation would probably benefit the beer. Closes dry, with low to moderate stickiness clinging to the palate.

Obsidian black with a beige-brown head.

Aroma of burnt grains and smoke, some molasses, ash.

The wheat really pokes through on this one. Dark roastiness up front with notes of coffee and slick carafe, followed by a soft wheat profile and slight chocolate-ash.

Feel is heavily carbonated yet still brings a very dry character to the finish in the form of roast.

Overall, not a bad beer - full of character, I just wish it had more sweetness.

Pours a black color. 1/3 inch head of a tan color. Slight retention and slight lacing. Smells of piney hops, slight sweet malt, pale malt, roasted malt, and hint of wheat. Fits the style of an American Dark Wheat Ale. Mouth feel is sharp and clean, with an average carbonation level. There is also a strong roasted malt bitterness. Tastes of piney hops, slight sweet malt, pale malt, roasted malt, slight chocolate, and hint of wheat. Overall, weak appearance, good aroma, body, blend, but the bitterness is a detractor.

This is a really good dark ale. There are a lot of nitro bubbles that were streaming from the glass. The head is a nice off white color about a finger high,depending on the type of glass used .This is a very pleasant stout, that is well put together. This is above average for the style

My first from 3 Sheeps and my 3rd in this style. So, best not to review.
If they were to improve this ale, I'd work on the yeast and add some malt.

Despite this being my only beer from them, I will give 3 Sheeps a micro-review... which I try to give to all brewers, usually by visiting their website. And their story is not too much different than the 8000+ micros in the U.S.... except that there were 75% fewer micros when 3 Sheeps started ten years ago. So they are seniors in this young crowd. I give them some pretty good Overall Hugs for the commitment to brewing the best, to their community and customers and each other. 3 Sheeps doesn't brew much in the Belgian tradition other than a popular quad (which I will look for.)

With a straight black color, this beer is like having straight coffee that is slightly sweet, creamy roasty with robust carbonation. However, it’s very strong and tastes like a regular, one-dimensional Guinness. This beer can be difficult to drink like Guinness. If this beer is suppose to be an American take on the Dunkelweizen, I recommend the Dark Cloud from Mother Earth Brewing in North Carolina as well as the Dunkelweizen from Trader Joe's.

Drank this for Easter yesterday. Didn't finish the bottle, not because it was bad, but because I ate so much like it was Thanksgiving and I just passed out on the couch I was so full.

Pours black, not overly viscous like so many of this color, hit the deep black notes without thick heft, which is as it should be in a wheat beer. Smelled of roast and wheat.

Taste was sweet. Alcohol seemed higher than it was. Still some roast flavors. This couldn't pigeonhole itself. There was roastiness like a porter, sweetness like a milk stout, light body like a wheat, color from a stout etc. . .

Thanks to elkhunter for dropping this amongst a million other beers on me last month.
