Smoked Dunkleweizen Ale

Appearance - 3.5

Pours a huge(1/2 the glass), foamy light tan head that sits around forever. The beer is dark brown with red highlights. It is cloudy with tons of visible carbonation bubbles.

Aroma - 4.0

There is a little bit of bacon and smokiness on the nose combined with a spiciness. There is also a fruitiness from the yeast.

Mouthfeel - 4.0

Medium in body with moderate carbonation. I expected it to be over-carbonated with the huge head, but that wasn't the case. Has a creamy feel to it.

Taste - 3.5

Malty sweetness up front followed by light smokiness. Some fruity esters hit the tongue next along with banana and clove which linger in the finish.

Overall - 3.5

The smokiness isn't as strong in the taste as in the aroma. The dunkleweizen and smokiness play together very well.
