This stuff has been on tap at the Platform Bar for a while now, and I always find myself coming back to it. I'm not that into most of their other beers (the Summer Ale and Best Bitter are just boring) but my budding beer nerd friends especially love this, and I can see why. It may not be for everyone though. See paragraph 3.
Dark brown, not opaque, the proper amount of tan-ish head for one of those Belgian chalices they pour it into at said bar. I'd like to see it in a Weizen glass proper, but whatever.
Smell and taste are going to be controversial - do you like your wheat beers complex and subtle, or do you want to get (almost physically) smacked over the head with the things you expect from them? If the latter, you'll dig this. The nose is like banana paddle pops, and almost exclusively that. Fucking awesome, for mine.
Taste-wise it's banana dominated but not as sweet as the nose might make you expect. If you're noticing anything else, it's probably caramel, with notable (but not PARTICULARLY notable) undercurrents of bubblegum and smoke. This is a pretty one-dimensionally fruity Dunkel, but that's what makes it what it is. No fermented wheaty sourness, no particularly dark roasty tastes - they hit on that one particular phenol and pumped it up to 11. Is that the by-product of some particularly concentrated yeast extract? I'm the wrong guy to ask.
Find what you like and let it kill you. Or something. They make a rye ESB, I'm told. I'll have to get up there some time and try that too.
