🌍 Germany · Dunkelweizen · One of 31 Dunkelweizens in hopIQ

A dark wheat beer at 5.8 percent, brewed in memory of the Battle of Hohenlinden in 1800 and the suffering of the local population. It pours almost black under a dense, creamy head. Clove, banana and pear esters meet a generous dose of roast malt in the nose. The palate is full and soft with nutty, banana-like fruit, then turns towards dark chocolate, coffee, hazelnut and roasted almonds, with a restrained hop spice. Carbonation is low, and the long finish ends on gently bitter roast notes.

nearly blackdense cream headlow carbonationexcellent retention

Aroma

The nose opens with classic Weizen esters—prominent clove and banana—layered generously with roasted malt character. Dark chocolate, coffee, and subtle pear notes emerge beneath, creating a complex aromatic profile that balances fermentation character with substantial grain depth. Roast dominates without harshness.

Taste

Full and soft on the palate, the beer leads with banana and nutty wheat flavors that transition smoothly into dark chocolate, coffee, and hazelnut. Roasted almond notes persist through the mid-palate with restrained hop spice adding structure rather than assertiveness. The body is velvety and well-integrated, with low carbonation enhancing the creamy texture.

Finish

The finish is long and gently bitter, fading on roasted malt and subtle chocolate notes without astringency. Warmth from the 5.8% ABV lingers pleasantly in the aftertaste.
