Veldensteiner Dunkles Weißbier
Kaiser Bräu

Look is minimal carbonation/head but chestnut color. Smell is very much malt, and not much else. Taste is very smooth, with mimimal carbonation but very even mouthful. Taste is also malt, and wheat and cloves, almost like a Weizenbock. Beer feels very light, and has almost no aftertaste and is not sticky.

A very nice tasting but light bodied Dunkelweizen.

 

 

Decanted from a porcelain capped bottle into a 16.9 oz (500 ml) into a tasting pint; mindestens haltbar bis (best before): L125I054, reportedly May 5, 2018.
A: Pours a cloudy brown color with a three to four finger, egg shell white head, really nice retention, but limited lacing.
S: Aromas of caramel, toffee, honey, and cocoa.
T: Sweet. Flavors largely follow the nose, although definitely a cola element. Bitterness present but in the background.
M: Medium bodied with moderate to high effervescence.
O: Very, very enjoyable. Rated on the second try (2/1/2019), which explains the disparity in dating.

Poured from a brown 16.9 oz. bottle. Has a chestnut color with a 1 inch head. Smell is of banana, cloves, wheat. Taste is banana, bubble gum, light cloves, apples at the finish. Feels medium/full bodied in the mouth and overall is a refreshing and pretty good beer.

 

 

Simple dunkle for a reasonable price.

Kaiser Brau Veldensteiner Dunkles WeiBbier has a dark rust color and light cloudy body. An off-white 2-finger foamy head was formed as it filled my weizen glass. The head showed good retention as consumed. Unfortunately, the appearance is the best part of this ale. The nose was light, a little roasty and sweet. The taste was almost watered down, with flavors of roasted malt and a little nutty. The mouth feel was very too. It was thin and watery for the style.

Overall, there are much better German Dunkelweizens - sorry to say I was disappointed and will not revisit.
