Dark brown, clear with rising bubbles. Ruby with a backlight. Very tall root beer float head from a not very careful pour. Tall and thick with excellent retention. Disconnected thick strings of lacing. Very nice looking.

Roasted malt aroma with hints of coffee.

The roasted malts carry through to the taste, with a bit more complexity of dark fruits and bubblegum underneath. I mention the roastiness, but it is not at all overbearing. Slightly sweet spiciness/bubblegum is present in the middle and finish. The finish is mild and dry, with the roasted malts and bubblegum remaining. I don't get any of the wheat tanginess or banana/clove, and the spiciness is very subdued. I would have expected these to be more prominent for a dark hefeweizen.

Mouth feel is thin, and despite the visible carbonation and tall head, a bit flat.

Overall, this is a decent beer. The bubblegum is more prominent and the roastiness less prominent as the beer warms. I enjoyed drinking it. But, I was expecting more from Waldmann's based on the previous German-style beers from them I had reviewed (especially their hefeweizen, which was excellent).
