      Dark fruit, dark malt. Hint of clove. Lots of alcohol.
      Mouthfeel (10)
      Huge smooth body. Fiercely malty, with lots of dark caramel, dark fruit, and alcohol. Very warming...very smooth. Lots of fruity complexity, less of the Weissbier character. Some smokiness.

      Overall Impression (3)
      2001 bottling. Bright brown-red, high carbonation. Moderate head. Intensely alcoholic aroma with lots of spicy esters and Munich malt. Huge phenomenally smooth body, moderately fizzy. Immense raisiny dark Munich malt flavor, fairly sweet all the way through. Hints of Weizen - clove and banana - but mainly magnificently malty. Thanks to Jay Jackson for the sample!

      Appearance (3)
      Deep bright red. High carbonation. Big fluffy head.
      Aroma (4)
      Clove, banana, dark fruit, some alcohol.
      Mouthfeel (10)
      Big body. Fizzy. Lots of malt and lots of wheat malt. Good Weissbier flavors. Quite warming. Dark caramel appears in the dry finish. Not as chewy as Aventinus Eisbock; in fact, it's positively light. (Relatively speaking.)

      Overall Impression (3)
      Brown opaque. Big foamy short-lived head. Banana and clove aroma, and some toast. Medium body, intensely fizzy. Lots of toasty malt flavor. Bananas and caramel dominate, with cloves showing up in the finish. This bottle was labelled "Weisse", but it's obviously a Dunkelweizen.
