Dark wheat has a bold, dark color that surprises the drinker with a mild clean flavor. This beer is a black version of an American Wheat, with some locally malted corn added for a drier, more drinkable, local flavor. Germans would consider this a beer an American version of a Dunkel Weizen.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a thinnish tan head that fades quite quickly. Aroma of alcohol, light smoke, a touch of peat, tons of roasted malts, a lot of pitted fruits with some caramel around the edges and a dose of chocolate and raisins to sweeten up the vibe. Medium-bodied; Strong rich chocolate and deeply roasted malts with a lot of brown sugar and a touch of the fruity sweetness, but not much in terms of complexity or especially the depth. Aftertaste shows some bitterness from all the malts with a lot spice robustness in almost every aspect of the beer from a white pepper and more astringent flavour there than i'm used to, with a subtle yet unknown quantity of the smoke that is picked up at the end and lingering over all the stages for a long time. Overall, a nice and robust sweet imperial stout that shows well, but leaves a lot of unfinished and meaningless profiles, but with a deep and very bittering flavour. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Whole Foods in Omaha, Nebraska on 06-February-2018 for US$1,69 sampled at home in Washington on 09-August-2018, my ninth year anniversary from 09-August-2009.

Can split at the Travlr tasting, thanks to Gene, 30/09/15. Dark mahogany brown with moderate beige edgeing. Nose is dark fruit shreds, chocolate, light spice, toffee. Taste comprises brown bread, cocoa powder, dark fruits. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Decent enough for style and definitely the best dark wheat bier I’ve raked from Nebraska!!!
