Doomsday
Evil Genius Beer Company

 

Purchase with caution. A bottle of this was shared this weekend among friends and was explosively carbonated. This smells and tastes nothing like a dunkelweizen. All mineral character and fruity sourness. Sad to say that my only experience with this brewery has been 2 bottles of infected mess.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I poured it too cold, in a hurry. It is a dark mahagony and hazy with very little in the way of a head or lacing.

Aromas are of dark malts, caramel, clove and dark fruit. Very little hops if any.

The flavour is pretty much the same. Some mild hops finish it off but it's mostly a sweet beer. Not exceedingly balanced.

Mouthfeel is sweet and full with very low carbonation.

Overall, I would call this beer good! I would recommend it to try. I would like to see what it's like on draught and warmer but it's a little flat. I give it a 3.5 out of 5.

 

 

 

L- Somewhat hazy muddy brown topped with a thin tan head, head fades quickly and leaves on appreciable lace on the glass.

S- Note of banana, clove, and bread, pretty typical for the style.

T- More malty than I was expecting at first, notes of clove, spice and banana cut through the bready malts without much difficulty though. Decent balance and just a hint of alcohol heat at the end.

M- Medium in body and a bit less in carbonation, finish is dry with a bit of heat and spice.

O- Not bad there are better examples out there but I'd drink this again. I was surprised to see that the ABV is only 5.4%, from the hints of alcohol heat I would have thought it was more.

 

I had this on tap at Peachtree in a pint served chilled.

The color is a muddy brown shade with hazed appearance and thick tan head with fine bead and ok retention with lace stickng well. The smell is fruity and has some banana esters with mild clove as expected from the style. The feel is very highly carbonation with low sweetness and slight spice with semi-dry finish.

The taste is good with nice yeast which is dominant and has a tropical taste similar to ripe banana yet not overly sweet with subtle grain toastiness and light spicing. The overall impression is this is a pretty decent wheat with some good dunkle characteristics true to the style in general.

 

 

Lightly hazed brown in color, minimal spots of tan froth. Scent brings light yeast bread, heavy clove and brown sugar. Taste follows suit, really sweet for the style, lots of spice and yeast notes without much flavor depth. Way too carbonated and prickly. Not too into this one.

Dark, ruddy brown in color, hazy, with a tall fizzy head. The aroma is spritzy, twangy, and refreshing....clove, baking bread, some wheat, and citrus rind. The beer is not as sweet as expected...it has the refreshing zest that I expected, but is maybe tilted a bit too far toward sour. Nice try, though, and very drinkable. Medium in body. This would be nice, served cold on a very hot day.
