Capped bottle: Deep hazy and veiled, brown and dark amber color, with strong activity and a suspended cloud of yeast at the top. Thick foamy and slightly creamy dark beige 3 finger head, lasting around 10 minutes, with okay lacing but a strong swirling reaction. Flavors of wheat, sweet barley, banana yeast, light toffee and molasses, soft ginger and spices, with herbal hops. Slick and smooth medium to full body with a moderate crisp. Light to medium strength finish, bready and caramely, slightly toasty, ending with balanced soft leafy hops. Highly refreshing while filling. Good balance and not too sugary. Texture is nicely refined. Overall very good quality craft.

It starts with a lumpy head which leaves streaks of lace. Deep brown color. Clear.

Soured milk nose. Very odd.

Light on the wheat but strong on the dunkel. Lots of darker malt flavors; no notable hop. Decent body with a high carbonation level. Innocent flavor with no errors but nothing interesting or complex either.

Thick beige head that doesn't overstay it's welcome. Dark caramel colour that makes you want to dive in immediately. Wonderful bold caramel taste. The 5.4% ABV is surprising given its strength. The carbonation reduced drastically on the second half of the bottle. I guess I need to get a bigger glass! I'm looking forward to tasting this beer again.

Poured from the bottle into Furstenberg glassware that I got from the brewery 34 years ago! This is my first taste of this beer since the late 80's, as it has not been available in the US since then (I got this beer from Quebec). Frothy browny head, very thick as I remember it being. The body of the beer is also dark, but a bit on the amber brown side. The first sip brought back memories of my time in the Black Forest of Germany, where the brewery is located - malty sweetness, slight banana flavor, wheat bread on the backside. A deeelicious brew that I wish I could get more ofter!
