Overall: A fantastic release from Utepils here. This one basically drinks like a Zwickel in dark grain format. Wheat, grains, yeasty, but with a slight dark grain and heavier mouthfeel. Hard to differentiate from a Zwickel, but has a bit more toasted and nutty notes, sort of like peanut butter toast is how I would describe this one. This was a great release from Utepils and a trend of a style I'd like to see more of. (Rating: 4.14)
