Inviting pour with large, fizzy off-white head atop a dark brown body. Aroma of caramel, molasses, straw. Light hops. The flavor is moderately sweet and moderatley acidic. Very light bitterness in the finish. Thin texture, average carbonation. Overall, a crisp, easy-to-drink beer, though nothiing to distinguish itself.

Atwater dunkel weizen on tap at the Mad Mex in Robinson. Big 16 oz glass for $5. Very nice dark brownish hazy pour. Aroma of sweets and root beer along with fermenting fruit, interesting and appealing. Nifty earthly intriguing flavor that reminds me of Corsendonk or Fat Gary. Medium low carbonation that is not tingling but welcomed. Very friendly and well balanced. A decent behaved brew that is easy to enjoy. Cannot detect much, if any bitterness. Overall just a nice repeatable session brew that leaves me feeling happy. Everything about this brew is very acceptable. Would not hesitate to buy this again. Dunkel is one of my favorite styles. On par or slightly better than other good dunkels I’ve had such as Weltenburger Kloster Barock Dunkel, Penn Dark Lager Beer and Warsteiner Premium Dunkel. Better than Harpoon Munich Dark and Saranac Chocolate Amber. I’m not sure why this is not classified as a dunkel weizen.

Bottle. Pours like a Coke. Lots of fizzy head that dies down even quicker than a cola. This all covers a dark brown body, but after a few seconds things die down and there is no trace of the head. Aromas are weak and hint at burnt malt... coffee with a little peat. Flavor of molasses with a touch of an earthy character and a sweet vanilla finish. Ho hum.

Bottle. Coppery orange coloration with a two finger high frothy head. It is slowly sinking into the body and leaving lots of foam on the glass’s sides. Aromas are decidedly piney... Cascade hops, for sure. Flavor is a malty body that then gives way to a resin finish that is a little brusque, but well carried out. Almost a grapefruit rind-like bitterness from the hops. A little watery throughout, but I liked this much more than I expected.

12 oz bottle poured black and pulled up a decent sized mocha colored head that lasted a while. Initially the aroma was cream soda like but not too strong. Then a nice coffee and burnt malt aroma rose up with some chocolate and a hint of vanilla. The flavors from the first sip were a little too bright. But after a while my taste buds adjusted and a smoothness grew. There is some obvious coffee, chocolate, vanilla and burnt malt flavors. But by some combination of these notes a cream soda flavor is created. That isn’t a taste I care to have in a beer. Fortunately it isn’t too strong. Overall this beer is a bit too sweet for the style but has enough complexity to keep it interesting.

This is easily the best beer that I have had from this brewer. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a black color with ruby highlights and a medium sized dark brown head. The aroma is tangy and malty with an undertone of molasses. The flavor is faintly bitter and rather malt with a rich chocolate and molasses element and a floral hop presence. The finish is tangy and hoppy. The alcohol is well hidden. Nice.

Pour is black with a average tan head. Aroma has a nice roastness to it but not much else. Flavor is super sour! Some bitter chocolate shows up but the sourness gets in the way. Why is this so sour? Not real good pass when you see this one.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a black color with a huge dark brown head. The aroma was sour, roasty malts with only a faint hint of vanilla and no coffee. The mouthfeel was smooth and creamy. The flavor was roasty, toasty and bitter with a hint of vanilla on the finish. Absolutely no coffee flavor. Fairly boring really.

Pour is a copper with a white head. Aroma is faint but hops are present. Flavor is much the same. Some small amount of hops and not much of a stong malt. Pretty poor for an IPA.

Pour is a very dark red-brown with a small tan head. Aroma is dark fruits and some molasses. Flavor is super sugar sweet! My teeth hurt after a drink of this. Some dark fruit and molasses are in the flavor but the sugar overpowers all. Alcohol is not a problem. Not much in the flavor but worth a try. Maybe someone who is a fan of this style would like this more.
