Engel Hefeweizen Dunkel

◎ Aussehen

Deep chocolate-brown hue with excellent transparency and a fine, persistent head that clings to the glass with good retention. The carbonation is lively without being aggressive, creating a refined visual presentation typical of the Dunkelweizen style.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with fresh cellar yeast and wheat character, followed by gentle caramel and malt sweetness. Subtle spice notes of clove and hints of ripe banana emerge from the yeast strain, while the overall impression remains clean and inviting rather than heavy.

◐ Geschmack

The palate is malt-forward and full-bodied, with wheat and caramel providing a soft, rounded entry. Chocolate notes develop in the mid-palate alongside a gentle spice complexity, while the low bitterness (16 IBU) allows the fruity yeast character and malt sweetness to shine harmoniously without astringency.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and harmonious, with caramel and malt lingering pleasantly without overstaying. A subtle drying sensation from the wheat and restrained noble hop bitterness provides closure without harshness.
