Sampling notes:
Served chilled in weizen glass.
Loud pop upon opening, no gushing luckily. Pours a big pillowy offwhite head that hangs around, atop a deep tanned body. Slight haze with yeast rousting resulting in a milk chocolate body.
Faint roasted malt on the nose, touch of bread and earthy spice, nothing really stands out though.
Carbonation is quite high, reasonably smooth, slight wheat and roasted malt acidity on the tongue. Body is a bit on the lean side.
Malty body, get some nice grainy chocolate malt flavours, bit of smokey roastiness and sweet nuttiness. Yeasty finish, bread in particular, some clove-like spice, with an underlying gritty leafy earthiness that lingers. Bitterness is reasonably low, possibly slightly metallic!? Dunno...
Tends to open up a bit more with warmth and more yeast in suspension, spicier in a good way. Anyhow, seems like more of an drinking dunkelwiezen than a thinking one. Very easy drinking and tasty, thanks DiscoStu.
Out of interest, what temps did you ferment this at?
