🌍 Austria · Dunkelweizen · One of 27 Dunkelweizens in hopIQ

The dark counterpart to the house wheat beer, brewed from Tyrolean grain and left unfiltered. Chestnut in the glass, with caramelised banana and a light chocolate note in the nose. The palate is full and fruity and carries dark caramel, with roasted malt showing at the edges. Same original gravity as the pale version at 11.7 degrees Plato. Bottled at half a litre only.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Weißbier Dunkel

Appearance

Deep chestnut brown with a dense, cream-coloured head that clings to the glass with fine lacing. The unfiltered character is evident in a subtle haze throughout the body, and the half-litre format showcases the beer's full visual presence. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, neither aggressive nor flat.

Aroma

The nose leads with ripe banana and caramelised stone fruit, grounded by a soft chocolate undertone that speaks to the darker malts. Subtle clove and phenolic notes from the weizen yeast weave through without dominating. There is no harsh roast character; instead, a warm, malty sweetness frames the entire impression.

Taste

Full-bodied and immediately fruity on entry, with dark caramel and toasted malt building through the palate. The wheat base contributes a smooth, slightly creamy texture that carries the flavours with ease. Roasted malt edges emerge in the mid-palate without turning bitter; the finish remains clean and dry, allowing the fruit to linger gently.

Finish

Medium-length finish with a subtle chocolate and banana fade. The aftertaste is dry and malt-forward, leaving a pleasant warmth without astringency.
