Roggenbier is a historic beer style that's been nearly forgotten. It is a Dunkelweizen (Dark Hefeweizen) made with rye rather than wheat, but with a greater body and light finishing hops. The rye gives a bready and peppery flavor, a creamy body, and a dry, grainy finish that blends with the distinctive banana-and-clove weizen yeast character. The chocolate rye malt provides a chocolate banana bread note to tie it all together.

O- Loads of malt, some faint rye and lots of dry chocolate. Not what I thought it would be but a solid respectable beer.

16oz can from Tavour. Dark brown pour, spotty fine head. Roast malt aroma, burnt toast. Taste brings pumpernickel flavors, mild bitterness, trace of coffee. Not as much rye character as I was expecting.
