They were unloading these at Downeast Beverage earlier today and as I had never before seen them I made sure to grab one. It seems to be a very new release from Weyerbacher as there aren't a lot of reviews floating around the net. If you aren't familiar with Weyerbacher you should definitely check them out. They brew a lot of different styles from a solid IPA and a great Belgian Quad to probably the only Imperial Pumpkin Ale on the market.
I am excited about this "Double Dunkelweizen" since its a style I am beginning to really enjoy more and more. Pours a big cloudy, murky brownish orange color with a big fluffy ghost white head. Its a nice thick head and a great looking pour. This beer looks like a meal in a glass.
Smell is very sweet with some nice spiciness. There are some apple and cinnamon notes along with red grapes and cloves. Its a great smelling beer. I could see this being a scent for a Yankee Candle. Maybe they could market a beer candle line?
Taste is rich and sweet juicy fruit along with some warm spices. There is some dryness that seems to come from the alcohol. I definitely get a lot of the apple and cinnamon tastes that I could smell along with cloves and banana which are pretty common for the style. This is a great interpretation of the style that brought us the almighty Aventinus. Very delicious and for a penny under $4 its a deal!
