Brown's Dunkelweizen poured a dark brown color with a thumb width, light tan head,  The nose was is deep, with a ton of malt, bananas, cloves, sweetness and some notes of alcohol.  The body is smooth and rich, with a sweetness up front and a big malt backbone.  There are chocolate notes in the middle and the alcohol is noticeable.  The malts dry out on the finish and leave a faint lingering dryness.  There is no real hop prescence.  Overall, this is a decent Dunkel.  I thought it was a little rich for the style, but the chocolate was a nice touch.  The flavors really start to come out as the beer warmed but I thought it could have been a little more balanced.  This beer might be better off paired with food and is clearly best with dessert as a nightcap.     

The ultimate resource for beer drinkers!
