Black. Vanilla, chocolate, brown sugar, mild roasted malt profile. Medium bodied. I get a big kick of vanilla but not hard enough I would call it a vanilla Porter. Tasty brew.

Dunkelweizen from 49th State Brewery
9 years ago
6.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 5
Reviewed by notes.
Poured into a pint glass, the appearance was a fairly dark red to brown sort of color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated at a nice pace. Moderate lace.
The aroma had some sweet nuts and raisins. Some milk chocolate, subtle sweet banana. Touch of grain.
The flavor combines those previously mentioned aromas together with a nice crisp sweet nutty to banana aftertaste and dry finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Mild carbonation. ABV felt appropriate.
Overall, nice American dark wheat ale, but lack of clove spices and any sort of wheatiness tells me it’s not a true dunkelweizen. Maybe again for me.
