This dark Weissbier retains its aromatic character thanks to the select choice of Hallertau aroma hops and highest quality Bavarian wheat and dark barley malts.
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%).

Bottle with code L2670 on lower back label, drunk 6/15/21.
Didn't go too crazy with stirring up the sediment, so it was just a mildly hazy, cola-to-mahogany brown with a small, beige head showing moderately-low retention.
Smells extremely fruity in the nose, with a good dose of dark fruits in there from the darker malts. Clean, and very low bubblegum (if at all?). Definitely a fair amount of clove on the finish. Comes together fine for a dunkelweisse, though maybe a bit more base malt and wheat character would cut some of that clove and specialty malt acidity out.
In the mouth it's kind of mediocre. Carbonation is heavy, than somewhat flat without much in between. Quite acidic with punchy dark fruits and too much clove. Just kind of there. Caramelly, bordering on too sweet at times. Needs more malt depth and higher attenuation. I don't know; hard to imagine this stuff isn't brewed well and maybe this one just doesn't sit well with me or maybe it's sat on the shelf too long, but it didn't seem to be great in any particular areas.

Bottle from the brewery, drunk with an excellent pizza salsicca from Donatello. Dark brown hazy with a big head. Banana yeasty nose, not as amazing as their standard on tap, but with some roast aroma. Flavor is less creamy as well, but still a huge complex banana-Weiss flavor, with some added light caramel/roasty undertones. An excellent Weißbier!

Bottle at home, 9th May 2021. Pours a chestnut brown. Aroma is caramel, yeast, banana and spice, fresh and some floral notes. Taste is caramel, malts, roasty, slight spice and clove, banana, really well balanced and delicious to drink. Probably come of the best Dunkelweizens I have consumed

Bottle from Beers Of Europe. Pours a very very dark brown (Coca Cola) colour with a large thick creamy beige head. High carbonation. Strong aromas of banana and cloves, brown bread, wheat, caramel and yeast. Fantastic smell. Taste is the same notes as the aroma with added hints of bubblegum. Medium to full bodied with a very slightly oily mouthfeel. This is a great beer and arguably the best Dunkel Weisse i have tried.
