Collaboration with Eagle Bay Brewing, a 'choc-brown hefeweizen' brewed for GABS 2013. Tried at the festival on tap.
Pours a brownish-amber colour, massive cloud throughout the body. Head is cream-coloured, large bubbles. Not bad.
Smells spicy. Touch of sourdough and rye bread from the grain with a whiff of banana, pepper, cinnamon. The right characters but kind of a blah blend. Maybe use some more sweetness or more piquancy from the spice. Treads a bland middle line.
Taste is grainy upfront with more of that sourdough character, but sweeter with a touch of caramel and some dry cocoa powder. Clove towards the back, very dry though and lacking the oomph I kind of want from a hefeweizen, even a cacao-infused one. Not bad but not great.
Body is quite thin, considering how much haze there is. Carbonation shows through more than I'd like.
Not quite chocolatey enough, could use more sweetness. Just tastes very dry.
