Notes / Commercial Description:
Our dark wheat beer is impressive with its creamy white foam. A fruity-fresh sweetness and hints of mature bananas harmonise with delicious flavours of roasted malt, sparkling and full-bodied with a light caramel taste on the first sip. An excellent accompaniment from hearty meals and game to chocolate and nut desserts. Brewed according to our centuries-old brewing tradition on the Weihenstephan hill.

The beer fills your glass with an aggressive climbing soft white head.
I find the aroma is modest. You may pick up mild wheat bread and clove. The taste further accentuates a malty character with cloves at the end. A hint of raisin and caramel are also relatively easy to find.
The mouthfeel is smooth, creamy, and low carbonation.
Personally, I found it a little less spicy and fruity than I had hoped for. It certainly is friendly to drink and welcome for a damp, fall day.

Amazing Dunkel! Pours light amber color. Tasting malted caramel. Almost like caramelized sugar. Excellent. Smooth. Mildly carbonated. Glorious wheat. So deliciously drinkable.
