4.13/5 rDev +7.8%
look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5

Poured from 750 ml bottle into pint glass. A gift from my wife who saw this at Sendiks.
Beautiful caramel color murky with tan tinged pillowy head. Excellent retention and vivid lacing.
Smell of cloves and banana and bandaid
Tastes open with bublegum, bandaid and orange fading to lemon pepper...wow....swallows to a bitter that lasts
Creamy with mild carbonation.
This is a beer I could drink for a long time. I will buy this beer for special occasions in the future.

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.75

Poured from 1 pt., 9 oz. bottle to a tulip. Bottled on 10/30/2012.

A: Very cloudy siena with grapefruit hues. Nice, tan head.

S: Wheat, malt, banana, clove, brown sugar.

T: Wheat, burnt sugar, malt, banana, vanilla, slight clove.

M: Medium-bodied and crisp with a sharp drying of the tongue at the finish.

O: A very enjoyable beer. Only the second dunkel I believe I've had, I feel this is a good bar to set as a guideline for the style.

4/5 rDev +4.4%
look: 5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4

Appearance: This pours a cloudy, dark brown color. It has an off-white puffy head that’s about two fingers thick. It has a slight lacing but it disappears quickly.

Smell: This has a slight banana smell to it. I also get a light hint of caramel.

Taste: The taste is similar to the smell. I definitely taste the banana. Along with that, I’m getting a nice nutty and bready taste to it.

Mouthfeel: It feels good. Smooth taste with a light to medium body and sharp carbonation. Maybe a little too much; But it’s still good.

Overall: Overall, this was a good beer. Definitely what I expected from a wheat beer.
But with more of a banana feel to it. And it leaves a nice smooth wheat aftertaste.
