Weissbier Dunkel

Tap to rate

Weissbier Dunkel is the old-Bavarian dark wheat beer, brewed to a traditional recipe handed down over the years. Naturally cloudy, discreet and mild, it is malty and floral at once. Arcobräu uses only pure-culture yeast for its wheat beers and ferments them just once, in a brewery whose roots in Moos reach back to 1567.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Weissbier Dunkel

◎ Appearance

Deep amber to brown hue with a natural haze characteristic of the style. A substantial off-white head forms with moderate retention and visible lacing down the glass. Fine carbonation creates a soft, pillowy texture that speaks to careful conditioning and pure-culture fermentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with warm wheat and soft malt notes, underscored by subtle floral and herbal undertones. Gentle clove and banana esters emerge from the yeast work, lending a mild spice and fruity complexity. The overall impression is restrained and approachable, with no sharp alcohol or oxidative character.

◐ Taste

The palate delivers a smooth, slightly sweet malt foundation with wheat providing a soft grain character. Clove spice and faint banana develop mid-palate, balanced by restrained hop bitterness that sits well below the IBU floor. The finish remains clean and malty, with no harsh edges or lingering astringency.

Tall and narrow at the base, flaring at the top — designed to hold the abundant foam of a wheat beer while showcasing its hazy golden body.
