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.

CBC @Sam Adams-on tap-pours a retaining off white head and cloudy amber/orange color. Aroma is banana, sweet light malt. Taste is banana/clove, light/medium malt. Smooth. Missing some Dunkel, but great beer.

This is one of those beers you open and aren’t sure if it is even going to be drinkable. But a two year old dunkelweizen in this case is not only drinkable it’s enjoyable. Light brown. Thin head. Molasses nose with nuttiness. Rich and chewy almost like a bock. Sweet, malty with good toffee notes, light nuts. The body still has some vibrancy. I’m not sure what this was like when fresh, but I do like where it’s at now.
