Wheaty aroma has a firm yeasty note and a smoky undertone with a hint of molasses. It pours a barely transparent dark-chocolate brown that lets light in only at the edges, looking more like a porter than a wheat. Yeasty, wheaty flavor has a smoky overtone with a touch of caramel - sort of like a decent porter blended with a good hefe. Distinctive and very drinkable! Smooth texture has above-average body and just a little fizz, leaving a nice wheaty and smoky finish.

A very solid smoked beer, where the smoke aromas and flavors are subtle enough to not overwhelm everything else or tire the palate, but present enough to make a statement. Pours a nice very dark brown with a head that lasts for a bit. There is a nice malty background here layered with what tastes like alder smoke. A bit light- I wouldn't think of a dark wheat first when thinking of smoke, but the tastes are clean and there is a touch of light graininess that marries well with the somewhat light smoke. A nice effort.

A: Black at first glance when poured into a tulip glass but still transparent when looked at carfully. Almost no laceing on the brownish off white half finger of head.

S: Slightly sweet with hint of smoke.

T: A hint of smoke with a nice easy drinking wheating charector that makes you wish for warm weather.

M: Light body with moderate carbination

O: I picked this up out side of atlanta after looking up the brewery and wish I would have had more of there beers. This was a nice easy drinking wheat beer with enough complexity to keep the beer nerds interested. Jailhouse... I'll be back!

A 22oz bottle purchased from Green's in Atlanta

A - A dark brown, with little head and lace

S - It smells like a chocolate porter, with maybe a touch of spice creeping in

T - Chocolate, smokey, malty. Quite a bit of smoked malts in the aftertaste.

M - Full bodied, well carbonated.

O - An average beer. I don't think the smoked malts adds to much to the beer. Glad to try it, but I am one and done.

Purchased at Green's Beverages in Atlanta, GA. $7.20 for a 22oz bottle.

A: deep, dark color, dark reddish-brown, clear, head poured but minimal for style
S: deep roasted malt, chocolatey, minimal smoked malt
T: well-balanced beer, good roasted malt up front, some cocoa and chocolate mid-palate and hop bitterness to style, needed more CO2 for style, needed a bit more clove and banana to be closer to style
M: more like a doppelweizen in mouthfeel than a dunkel weizen, pushing the deep roasted malt quality, chewy
O: I really like the beer but the lack of true dunkel weizen qualities (CO2, banana, cloves) made me knock it back a 0.5 rating in taste, mouthfeel and overall rating

Served in a Dogfish Head snifter.

Thanks to Lillie1128 for this bottle!

I think I've seen the cop from the label before... Anyway, this stuff pours a very dark black-brown (closer to the former than the latter) topped by a half-finger of dirty off-tan foam. The nose comprises toasted malts, light beech smoke, light char, and a few pinches of black pepper in the background. The taste holds notes of toasted wheat, light smoke, black pepper, and a nice wave of banana in the finish. The body is a light-leaning medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a lightly grainy feel. Overall, a nice brew, proof that even dunkelweizens can be successfully smoked.

It pours a dark-chocolate brown. Slightly transparent with thin some light passage around the edges. Has a wheat to grain aroma with a very slight smoky undertone. Flavor is more like a mocha port with a a smoky overtone. Clear can distiguish the hefe flavor. Very drinkable. Very smooth texture and just a slight fizzy head.

Thanks for this one Grant. Poured into a tulip. This one pours a very dark brown with a finger of light tan head. It settles leaving some sticky lace.

Smokey chocolate in the aroma with a little bit of a banana aroma in the background. I dig it. Nice wheat flavor with a good smoked aroma in the background. More subtle on the pallet with a little bit of chocolate sweetness finishing it out.

Medium body with good carbonation. Overall a solid offering. Real easy to drink.
