Pours a clear, dark brown color. 1/3 inch head of an off-white color. Slight retention and slight lacing. Smells of pale malt, grain, strong sweet malt, and slight hop. Fits the style of a Dunkelweizen. Mouth feel is smooth and clean, with an average carbonation level. Tastes of slight sweet malt, caramel malt, slight pale malt, and a hint of hop. Overall, the body is too sweet, and the complexity is lacking.

Serving type: on-tap

Enjoyed on-tap @ 33 Wine & Tap House in Lafayette Square (St. Louis), MO for $5 (2-for one special though). Tapped from the Black (non-labeled) tap handle into a Stange/Pint Glass. 2nd Beer from Civil Life.

Aroma- Has a nice, sweet malt crisp aroma. Very light but caramel and light toastiness do come around. Wish it was more rich.

Appearance- Received with a 2 finger head that is frothy and has good retention. Dark brown color body with good clarity. Leaves nice, dark lacing behind.

Flavor- Has a malt dominant taste with caramel and sweetness hanging out the entire drink. Almost no bitterness but a light hop flavor is present.

Mouthfeel- Light-Medium Bodied, Medium-High Carbonation, Smooth, and has a nice slick mouthfeel.

Overall Impression- For a Dunkel, very appropriate for the style and light enough bodied that I could drink two back to back. Would definitely recommend if you are in St. Louis or better yet, trade me for a Growler of it!
