Dunkelweizen translates into "dark wheat" and the beer is a darker version of the Bavarian wheat beers of the 15th century. Dark amber brown in color, this unfiltered ale is brewed with traditional Bavarian yeast, which imparts a wide spectrum of flavors and aromas from spicy clove and nutmeg to tropical fruit and banana. The result is a beer that is complex and flavorful, medium-bodied with a crisp finish.

Bottle. Dark amber in color. Really nice head that slowly disappears leaving some lace. Taste is cloves and.....yes I believe that’s bananas. Aroma is too much clove.

Pours reddish amber with a thin white head. Aroma of spicy wheat malt. Taste has slight spice notes on the tongue. Palate has banana, clove and other nutmeg notes on the back of the tongue. Weak dunkel.

Deep, fairly hazy light brown and almost a light copper and bronze coloured body with a thick, super dense four to five centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of yeast, bread, alcohol, light grain, some subdued malts and more yeast, but the bananas, cloves and belgian yeast note are beyond evident. Medium-bodied; Super pungent yeasty bite with a big grain and malt side of things with a nice sweetness from citrus and lighter fruits and a dose of carmelised sugars as well. Aftertaste shows yeast, light grain, some bread and a dose of bubble gum and bananas, but mostly just a bready, grainy finish with some moderate complexity, but nothing harsh or pungent at all. Overall, a nice and elegant beer that shows well for the style throughout, but nothing pungent, too harsh and especially exciting that makes this a must drink. That said, for the style, this is very respectable, especially as easy as this would be to get, plus the convenience of the can, and even more enjoyable - the price point I had for this one! I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from GlenRo Spirit Shoppe in Monroe, Connecticut on 10-March-2018 for US$1,00 sampled at home on the Eastern shore of Virginia in Pungoteague, Virginia on 19-April-2018.

12oz can from Wegmans, West Seneca. A slightly hazy golden amber pour with a tight cream head; arom a of wheat, yeast, spice and cloves; soft in the mouth with gentle spices and caramel, and then a touch of spice & banana to finish. Much lighter in colour than a German Dunkel, but otherwise true to style.

From old tasting notes. Labeled as "Samuel Adams Dark Wheat". Translucent reddish brown color. Tan head. Fragrant coffeeish aroma. Spicy chocolate malt flavor. Bittersweet hop finish. Uncharacteristic of the style, yet tasty.

Bottle: Pours clear copper with a creamy tan head. Banana bread aroma. Taste is toffee malt, banana, sweet yeast, Good solid banana tones throughout. It’s light, but it certainly is pleasant.

It pours a deep dark brown and leaves the same color body with some amber notes along the edges of the glass. A large one inch foamy white head appears and lasts for a good two minutes. The smell has some wheat and banana up front with a bit of honey in the background.
The taste is basically the same with some added spice. The palate is about a medium body with a slight harshness of carbonation. Overall, this is a good beer I’d come back to.
