Tap @ downtown location. Clear, dark reddish brown appearance with a light brown head. Light wheat malty, rich chocolate malty, light espresso, and some roastiness in the nose. Hmmm, interesting flavor. Kind of tastes like a dunkleweizen with more chocolate and some espresso. Some citrus notes as well. Better than I was expecting.
