On tap @ the Bent Elbow - I love Schneider Aventinus, it's my go-to brew, but it now has a challenger on this side of the big drink - Michael Hancock has really come into his prime as a brewer and one taste of this delicious big doppelbock dunkelweizen affirms that. The pour from the tap puts a turgid cola colored brew in the glass with a puffy off white cap which lasts well. Aromas of spice, succulent fruit, bubble gum, meet roasty cocoa and coffee tones. By now your anticipation has piqued and you plough into this big dark wheat brew - the mouth fills with rich malty cocoa tones, succulent fruit, some spice then the back end of the profile takes you into a dry, roasty clean finish. Overall character for this big dark brew is, quite surprisingly, bright, fresh and peppery from natural carbonation. Extremely easy drinking with not a hint of its big alcohol carrying capacity.

What a brew! On par with the best Munich Dunkelweizen - If Side launch bottle this I'll put some cases in for home imbibing. Great job Michael!
