Big cocoa nose with some biscuit and faint roast and a hint of banana and possibly clove but they have to fight their way through the cocoa nibs and the dark wheat malts.
Deep black, 1-2" head that collapses to a thin film but produces excellent lace and on subsequent pours produces a tight, rocky persistent head typical of weizens.
Very creamy palate with obvious cocoa and the dark malts are more towards the lighter chocolates than the bitter roasts to the malt and the cocoa nibs complement one another. The brewer strikes the right balance with the cocoa nibs they are noticeable but not cloying and overpowering. There is just enough there to work harmoniously with the caramels and chocolates from the malts but not squelch them.
Above average carbonation, the carbonation gives it more body and the fine soft bubbles give it a smoothness and creaminess.

School pours a dark brown color with a large non lacing head. There is a mellow aroma with banana and coco powder. The taste is creamy nice banana flavors and coco powder. Body is a little flat and watery. Overall nice flavored good nellow chocolate and banana flavors.

Bad Weather Schoko-Weizen Dunkelweizen with cocoa nibs. Storm cellar series #1. Brewed and bottled by Bad Weather Brewing Company, Minnetonka, MN. ABV 7.0% ABV.

Total blackness, under a full, 1/2 inch creamy tan, looking good from where I sit.

Aroma: chocolate and dark fruit notes come through first, spices, banana a little bit. Creamy, milky-ness, too…lactose in this? there's more than the straightforward dunkel weisse aromatics here. Something different is going on, an unusual yeast strain, maybe?

Taste: Chocolate hits the palate first, followed quickly by the weizen yeast character. There's banana, and spice, clove. Medium-bodied, full-flavored, and fairly unique. Plays rich on the tongue for a while, and ends on the dry side, with a lingering chocolate-y finish.

I'd like to see what they tell us on the label: "Schoko-weizen kicks off our limited edition Storm Cellar Series. We use classic Hefeweizen yeast to give this brew rich banana and clove flavors, with notes of toasted bread from the dark wheat. Schokolade is the German word for chocolate, so cacao nibs are added to give SCHOLO-WEIZEN it's rich, chocolately finish. A fitting style of beer to launch this limited series, Dunkelweizen was the first style of beer co-founder Joe ever brewed. Enjoy this one of a kind beer while it lasts…Prost!"

If this wasn't supposed to be so la-de-da, if it wasn't wax-dipped, in a big bottle, with a price tag of $9 or so, maybe I wouldn't be disappointed. It just doesn't deliver enough. Nothing wrong with it, nothing bad, just not good enough.
