A mash-up of two classic German styles in which fruity, spicy Hefeweizen meets rich, chocolate-malty Dunkel to create a beautifully rich and silky smooth chestnut-brown beer that's as interesting and complex as it is refreshing and easy drinking.

On tap at The Green Goddess, Blackheath Royal Standard. Nose is toffee, sweet tobacco, caramel, red apple. Taste is a nice mix of the above. Malty sweet finish .

440ml can. Cloudy brown with a small beige head. Aroma of very tangy fruit esters, overripe bruised bananas. Taste is sweet and very tangy, overripe banana, brown bread, dried fruits, herbs, cloves. Medium bodied, very lightly carbonated. Ok, but not a good interpretation of the style for me. Ridiculously tangy.

Kwg at Portcullis Tap. Opaque dark brown. Thin foamy off-white head. Aroma is low key. Spur and fruity. Flavourwise it's in fact similar. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Decent.

Extremely dark mahogany brown topped with a beige cap that retains well.
Nose is tangy fruit esters, sultanas, brown bread, herb.

Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close.
Okay if a little overly tangy for my liking.

Can from Appellation Wines.
Appearance - deep brown and cloudy. Beige to tan head.
Nose - brown bread and burnt toffee. No banana and spice though.
Taste - chewy toffee, malt loaf, only the vaguest edge of banana or spice, had to look for it.
Palate - medium bodied, chewy middle and dry, malty finish.
Overall - I don't think this one is on style, but it's a good beer.
