Pours a clouded amber color with a spongy, huge head.

Smells of smoke and salt (wait, what?), spicy yeast, lots of ripe banana and a flowery herb appearance. Once the beer warms up a little more, the Rauchbier characteristcs appear more tamed, mingling into a classical Weizen profile, while adding a nice twist to the nose.

Has a surprisingly low carbonation, drinking a little thinner than your average Weizen, while establishing an interplay of hops and the yeast.

Tastes of spicy malts, with clove, a good amount of cardamom and a whiff of ripe banana. Then a strangly fermented herbal flavor sets in, colliding with the early established sweetness of the beer, since the hops pack a powerful herbal bitterness, wearing themselves out on the spices. Finishes malty, with more banana, toffee, no spices and a better firting, subdued herbal hoppiness.

A bit too wild and unfocussed, while at the same time the yeast is not capable of producing a particularly soft mouthfeel.
