Bottle is has a happy looking monk character enjoying some brew , and some gold foil on the neck.

Appearance: murky , reddish brown , with a large and foamy offwhite head. Nice retention.

Smell: nice dark wheaty malt , banana , some earthy/funk tones , and a slight spice.

Taste: Crisp and lightly sweet toasty wheat , has some standard wheaty tang to it , banana , very nice balance , light spice and hint of clove. Very dry finish with a a bit of yeast aftertaste.

Mouthfeel: light bodied , very dry finish.

Drinkability: A tasty , refreshing , and fairly dry Dunkel Weizen. Nice showing of dark wheat flavors , nice balance , well made. A good choice in its style , espescially if your in the mood for a dry finish.

I bought a 500 ml bottle at a Lidl store in Portugal. Poured it into a pils glass, causing a 2 inch head that settled to 1 inch foam. Warm, fresh aroma. Taste is a little disappointing — a little but of caramel and yeast. Not very interesting. The mouthfeel was promising at first, but it was followed by a bland aftertaste. Was expecting more from a monastery logo ale. Tastes more like mass-market output.

500ml bottle, 5,0%ABV, poured in a Weissenglass at around 6 celcius.
Colour , rusty brown to with a 2-3 finger head, dense white foam.
Light carbonation, creamy lacing.
Smell: not very strong, some burnt nuts and sweet caramel.
Mouthfeel: Very smouth and creamy, smell tingle of carbonation
Taste: soft notes of nut and burnt bread, not too yeasty, nice not too sweet caramel development, with a lovely note of almost dark choclate like bitterness in the aftertaste.
Very pleasant beer, easy to drink.

enjoyed at pony bar, hamburg, this is one i’ve wanted to try for a long time, quite a nice dunkelweizen, nice rich malty flavour mixed with the wheaty estery flavours, on the sweeter side, drinkable, pretty good

00ml. bottle in Mae Kasa, Thailand. Pours a cloudy red/brown with a reddish white head that dissipates quickly. Aroma of roasted malt, dark fruits. Tastes very roasty, malty, biscuity. Medium carbonation that settles. A pleasant but prickly mouthfeel. A good, solid, well-balanced Dunkel.
