Appearance: Black, huge head.
Smell: Roasted malts, bit of chocolate, bit of yeast note.
Taste: Balanced, mild roasted malts with wheat and very light phenol yeast note. Light bodied. Gives a bit of lemon then wheaty finish.
Overall: A black hefeweizen, so a dunkel weiss then? Does taste more like a dunkelweiss than a hefeweizen. Easy drinking, probably better in warmer weather rather than 0F.

16 oz can canned 10/8/25 into a tall glass.
L: Pours black with a crunchy & soapy light beige head that recedes to edge foam, low carbo, light scattered lacing.
S: Banana bread crust, caramelized malts, a hint of char.
T: Banana bread, caramel malts, a hint of brown bread, a faint note of distant grape, a trace of yeast, not much aftertaste. It is gently pale.
F: Lightly brisk medium to med-light bodied mouthfeel with a medium-short finish. Not too far from a semi-flat cola-like feel.
O: Tastes good. Feel is okay. Very easy to drink. A curious beer for its style. It is very good.
