Hefeweizen Dunkel

◎ Appearance

Deep copper-brown with a reddish undertone, displaying the natural colour derived entirely from darker malts—no added extracts. The beer presents a soft, creamy head with fine retention and lacing that clings gently to the glass. Slight haze from the yeast suspension is characteristic of the style.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent chocolate and caramel notes, followed by warm coffee and toasted nut character. Behind these sits a subtle banana ester typical of the weizen yeast, complemented by a restrained smoky edge and gentle spice hints that evoke clove without dominating.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and malty, with chocolate and caramel building through the mid-palate alongside nutty depth and a whisper of coffee. The 16 IBU provide restraint; bitterness remains gentle and integrated, allowing the yeast-driven banana and clove to thread through without harshness. Wheat grain adds structure and a subtle drying quality.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and lingering, with chocolate and coffee notes persisting on the palate. A gentle smoky undertone and wheat grain dryness extend the aftertaste without becoming sharp or astringent.
