Anchor Winter Wheat is made with a unique blend of 2-row pale barley malt, Belgian roasted wheat malt, German pale spring wheat malt, "Midnight" and hard red wheat malts from the Midwest, and unmalted soft red winter wheat from a local family farm. The result is a smooth, complex, dark brew with a creamy, lacey head; deep, rich mouthfeel; nutty, bread-like, and subtly roasted flavors; and a crisp, clean finish. A special ale yeast provides clean flavors with hints of dark fruit. And a single hop, Northern Brewer, provides earthy, woody, and minty notes with just the right amount of bitterness.

Flaska från SB. Smak och doft av humle, malt, choklad, svarta vinbär, plommon, trä, korn, bröd, fikon, vete med toner av örter och lakrits. Fruktig, fyllig, frisk, torr, lagom sötma, go munkänsla, rund och len, fin beska, bra balans mellan smakerna. Mycket gott vinteröl!

Bottle from Appellation Wines. Appearance -close to opaque black with a decent fawn head. Nose - toffee, creamy a touch of banana. Taste - more of the same. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - I expected this to be pale so a surprise from start to finish.

Refrigerated 12 oz. squat brown bottle poured into a weizen glass. Black with medium beige head. Aroma is nice dark malt, medium silky body, medium carbonation, and pretty good small-bubble lacing. Taste is rich milk chocolate and banana. If a milk stout and dunkleweizen had a beautiful baby this would be it, really good beer.

Bottle from Trader Joe in Vegas. Pours a dark brown colour with light ruby highlights. The head is frothy-creamy, beige, long lasting and with creamy lacing. Aromas of dark fruits (raisins), alcohol, spices, hints of licorice and roasted malts. Taste of apples, mild roasted malts and metallic notes from the hops. Not getting much of the wheat. Not a bad dark brew but not a fan of the metallic hops.
