Its characteristic, distinctive maroon colour is a feast for the eyes. Then there’s the opalescence and fine structure of the yeast turbidity. The perfect complement is provided by the very creamy, fine pored head. This dark Weissbier from the Holy Mountain will delight connoisseurs with a harmonious interplay of fruity odours, above all ripe bananas and pineapple, with undertones of caramel and cocoa.
Andechser Weissbier Dunkel teases the tongue with a delicate tanginess carried by a round, soft body. A light caramel sweetness harmonises well with the fine hoppy bitterness. It concludes on a soft and refreshing note (original extract: 12.5%, abv: 5.0%).

Bottled. Dark maroon pour. Shockingly little head. Yeast bananas, slight acid and cloves and malty caramel.

Bottle from Liquor Junction, N. Reading. Deeply hazy light brown (pale root beer), ample creamy head with fair retention and spotty lacing. Ample brown bread, milder fig, dark fruit, clove, yeast. Taste is strong raisin/dark fruit, toffee, late mild overripe banana, clove. Smooth, soft carbonation, finish as taste. Good complexity and strength. Not surprising, when you've had over 500 years to perfect your recipe, nice!

16.9 oz bottle shared by tfontana, thank you Tom. Aroma is very soft German yeast, with plenty of rich, toffee, like malt flavor falls through, with a very mild hint of clove. Slightly spicy finish. Been a LONG time since a had a German Dunkleweizen!

Bottle. This is a really nice beer. Hazy brown in color with a large three finger, light tan head. Aroma is fruity with notes of roasted grains. Taste is banana with very light chocolate and spice. Good stuff.

Aroma of malt, lots of banana, yeast, some caramel, clove. Flavour is moderate sweet with a smooth finish. Almost no bitterness. Smooth Dunkelweizen, I really enjoyed this one.

Аромат немного даже жженый, слегка дрожжевой, и фруктовый, даже немного кремовый и карамельный. Цвет потрясный, глубокий, темный, с потрясающей мелкопузырчатой кремовой пеной. Вкус очень приятный и маслянисто-сливочный по началу. Далее немного пшеницы и дрожжей. Послевкусие более классическое. Немного пшеницы и солода, совсем легкая хмелевая ершистость на языке. Легка кислинка присутствует. В целом одно из лучших питких пивасов что я пил. Всем советую попробовать.

.5 bottle shared with Snegurochka at home while enjoying The Irony of Fate, a Soviet classic. Clear maroon body with miniscule with light tan head. Sparse lacing, obviously. Pleasantly strong aroma of bitter malts, dark fruits and dank, cold cellars. Notes of ripe bananas as well, although these are not as dominant as one might expect. Flavour is long-lasting and akin to aroma, but has even less ripe banana than what meets the nose, as well as some added spices. Palate is medium-bodied and quite alright, but could be less carbonated for this reviewer's taste. A nice and enjoyable drink on New Year's Eve, nevertheless.
