Der Starke für die besonderen Momente. Fast schwarz mit einem sensationellen Schaum und einem bananigen Duft erinnert er im Antrunk an Kaffeenoten. Im Nachtrunk besticht er durch sein volles Malzaroma.

Lively mahogany pour with a well-sustained head - nose is initially toffee and caramel sweetness, but deeper inhales reveal subdued clove and banana phenols, earthy wheat, chestnuts, warming spices, dry cocoa - the favor has an initial kick of sweetness, but this is much drier than the aroma suggests, dancing the line between weizenbock and dunkelweizen - toffee bookends things, but in the middle is tangy wheat, mellow phenols, tobacco, a touch of tartness/acidity - ends with warming alcohol and dry spiciness - quite nice.

Aroma is a plum and raisin with a metallic smell. Malty copper taste at the back of the tongue, sour. Very tart, and over powerful throughout. BUT don’t be mistaken this is very refreshing and flavorful.Finish similar to a wine. I was very impressed with this, it IS from Germany, better then 70% of beers here.

Export bottle from Half Time. Pours very dark brown with a 4 finger foamy off-white/beige head. Aroma is spicey dark malt. Medium body with foamy carbonation. Flavor is dark wheat with some yeast/spice. Not getting banana. It’s not dry, but it’s not all that sweet. The spice aspect is nice. Different to me. Quite tasty.

(bottle) Hazy, murky amber colour with a big and beige foamy head. Yeasty, sweet and slightly toasty wheat-malty aroma with notes of dried fruits and vanilla. Sweet and slightly acidic flavour, medium bodied with a pleasant, quite crispy carbonation. Yeasty, toast-malty and slightly wheaty taste with notes of caramel, dried fruits, plums and a delicately spicy touch of cloves; lasting toast-malty and rounded fruity finish with mildly spicy notes. Recommended. 31.XII.07

Ridiculously crazy yeast/sediment build-up on top of bottle and cap, even when bottle stored upright for about 3 months, at least. Nice ruby tinted brown coloured body with a very thin tan head that fades fast. Aroma of concord and vinifera grapes, caramel and a touch of malt - not much in the nose here. Medium-bodied; Chewy, raisiny and pit fruits in the flavour with roasted malt and caramel very strong following the fruits. Aftertaste shows a very pleasant mix of plums, nuts, caramel and a dose of effervescent bubbles at the tail end. Overall, a decent dunkelweizen, showing some interesting characteristics, but not an amazing beer. I sampled this 50 cL bottle purchased at Liquor Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 03-October-2009, sampled at home in Washington on 22-December-2009.

Dark ruby, small steady beige head. Banana, toffee, toasted aroma. Toasted banana, sweetness, yeast, some similarities to Aventinus, but a bit lighter.

Bottle. Pours a medium brown with a big bubbly head. Aromas are weak, with toffee, spice and fruit. Flavor is very fruity with a bit of a brown sugar backdrop. This is better on the palate than in the nose.
