It’s a really smooth dark beer with little after taste.

I had this on draught at Redd's Biergarten in Newark, NJ. 16 oz. pour served in a weizen glass. It pours a medium brown with ruby hues and almost two fingers of fluffy, ecru-colored head and serious lacing that persisted through the pour. Considering the temperature served the smell was robust and complex: roasted malt, clove, cinnamon, raisin, and hints of milk chocolate and caramel. The first thing I tasted was the roasted malt and brown bread with some sweet raisin and brown sugar; it was sweeter than I anticipated but there are pleasant spice notes at the finish. It's medium in body with moderate carbonation, and at only 5% ABV I finished the pint quickly and ordered another. Overall, this is a tasty and enjoyable Dunkelweizen that paired nicely with a plate of wursts, sour kraut, and red cabbage. I sometimes think we rate German beers too low. This one is really good.

Poured from fridge temp. Very little carbonation on the pour, and the bubbles dissipated quickly. Look is a dark brown with some transparency. Nose is malty, some cinnamon, bready, nutty, and some raisin. Taste is surprisingly sweet upfront. Quickly turns to a subtle toast flavor. Raisins and a bit of caramel coming through. Definitely getting nutty notes. I think the sweetness is a bit high for me, especially following the nice soft nose. Feel is a bit dry and medium bodied. Overall, a nice drinkable beer.
