22 oz. bomber, $4.49 at HyVee in Newton. Deep amber to brown pour, a huge head like a porter kicks up when I poured it in my smaller 312 glass. Nice malt smell with a side order of clove spiciness, nothing over the top. I like the taste. Malty, subdued clove and wheat spice, and an almost sessionable level of alcohol. No, strike that last bit; I’m starting to build a bit of buzz. In fact, after sitting in my glass to warm up, I get a bit of banana esters. Light stickiness around my lips. A lot of Dunkels I get are in the "extreme" category, but this is more restrained.

22 oz bomber purchased at Beertopia in Omaha, Nebraska. The pour is a darker brown, with copper highlights and a one inch light khaki head. The head falls quickly. The aroma is banana and bubble gum, clove and malt wheat grain. Mostly strong banana and bubblegum. As it warms and opens up, a soft roast char comes out in the nose. The taste is sweet bubblegum, clove, a soft faint roast char malt character and nice mineral in the finish. The big yeast of the nose is folded into the wheat and malt in the taste nicely. The palate is medium bodied, slick mouth feel, and dry finish with the roast and mineral. Tasty beer, easy drinking.

Bottle @ home, courtesy of pepsiedcan. Thanks peps! Pours a dark brown, fairly clear appearance with a tan head. The nose is a little more roasty than other dunkelweizens but does have the trademark, some banana, spicy clove, quite sweet aroma. Pretty spicy, again quite roasty malty, chocolate, some banana, spicy clove flavor. A little thin and quite spicy.
