If you ever fancy a Dunkelweizen and you're in the mood, then its best to reach for a beer from a brewery that's getting toward 150 years old. Maisel never lets me down, and the Dunkel is no exception. Cracking looking pour with a dark read hue and...
16.9oz bottle, Gay's Hops and Schnapps, Angola, IN, USA. I had assumed that because of the store that this was purchased in that it would likely be an older bottle, however, no, BB 07-2024. Delighted. Poured into the impossibly thin and slender...
Put simply, the best Dunkleweizen available in the USA. Now, if I'm honest one can apply that to the full range of Andechs beers that we get here in the US in their respective styles, so am I saying anything out of the ordinary? No, not really, but...
22oz bottle, the usual Lips of Faith series presentation from Hop City, Atlanta, GA, USA. Pour gives a lovely black color (in poor light), but a more traditional brown based beer in better light. The head is tight, and mocha in color with a nice...
12 oz single, $1.19 from Green's on Ponce, Atlanta, GA, USA. Glad to finally catch up with this beer. Oddly I have quite high expectations for it! Pour is a murky, unattractive iced-tea like affair with a very poor head and as a resut little...
12 oz single from Hop City, Atlanta, GA, USA. Interesting to say the least. I didn't bother to read the label in detail before I bought this so I just assumed it would be another, spiced Christmas Ale. That's OK, since I really enjoy that type of...
22 oz bottle from Green's on Ponce, Atlanta, GA, USA. Delighted to see one of my favorite styles produced by a brewer that usually does a very solid job across the board. Bottle sports the usual, new GD artwork and red foil on the neck - nice....
Kinda interesting. Like others have noted, a deep dark brown pour, but with surprising clarity for Dunkelweizen - must be filtered, because this is really clear. Head and lace are good, in keeping with the beers that Twains regularly produces....
12oz single, $1.00 from Trader Joe's, Atlanta, GA, USA. Appearance (at least in terms of the color) as expected (a dirty, turbid, clouded pour with some chill haze) which is not especially attractive. Head is better than expected and quite tall and...
On tap at the Brewpub. 16oz pint serving. A little difficult to tell the color of this beer in the dark, smoke filled room, but it looked a little lighter than the murky brown that I was expecting. A little clearer than the norm and more orange...
Thanks go out to Vancer for this offering as part of CEO/Old Farts BIF. 12oz, single bottle. Light brown body, thinnish looking. Head and lace are largely missing. Some aggresive carbonation in the mouth which I'm not sure is appropriate for the...
$2.99, Smyrna Beverage Warehouse, Smyrna, GA, USA. Encouraging burst when the flip-top is "flipped", despite the fact that I know this bottle is a little past its best date. This has been hanging around in this store for quite a while. The pour is...
$2.69, Cheers, Carrollton, GA, USA. 500 mL bottle. In the store, at first glance this looks like it is probably a Schwarzbier but closer inspection of the label reveals it is indeed a Dunkel. Excellent appearance with the requisite dark, cloudy...
Additional notes 07/08/24 Pictured. $4.99 for the bottle these days! That head is still magnificent, the beer still gives that muted banana note, and very light, drying spice in far back end. If I'm honest, not may favorite style, but it's...
Classic Dunkel pour and look, although I might say that the body is more orange than many others in the same style. Head and retention are not quite as spectacular as predicted, but still better than average. Nose is as expected, banana (mild),...
Additional notes 08/17/2022 500 mL bottle (pictured). Out of the gate this is a lighter colored dunkelweizen than many, even with the yeast sediment thrown in. A light amber pour with a lovely head. Head has decent retention. Plenty of banana in...
Not my favorite style, but a pretty nice example. The bottle that I had a much more brownish color than some of the other reviwers suggested. The black color was not as prevelant as other people has observed. Nice off-white head with a little...
Disclaimer: I must admit that this style is not one of my favorites. The most disappointing thing about Dunkel Weizens in general to me, is their appearance. I find the brown cloudiness very unappealing, and I think that this puts me off many,...
Additional notes 06/13/24 Pictured. Even more banana than I've noticed in the past on this bottle, which has a Best Before date of Jul/10/2024. possibly influenced by temperature a little. Easy drinking, nice example of the style in my ever trusty...
$2.99, Harry's Farmers Market, Marietta, GA, USA. Didn't really enjoy this at all. It looked very good, lovely amber color with a nice looking ample head, but that's where the experience ended for me. A clawing dryness came with each mouthful and a...
