Midnight Wheat ABV: 5.2% OG: 12.5 degrees plato Malt Varieties: These malts were made for Herold, and are generally not used in the Czech Republic - specially-malted wheat from Moravia, local barley from Breznice, and dark specialties malted at Tabor and Brno. Tasting notes: It is a very interesting combination. What I like about this type of dark wheat beer is the sort of toffeeish maltiness from the dark beer, and the slightly crisp, sharp acidity – a bit like apples – from the wheat beer, is a bit like having a liquid toffee apple. Brewing notes: Starts as a light wheat, brewed with 60% wheat malt and 40% local golden malt and Bavarian yeast, then lagered up to 6 weeks for smoothness. Double decoction brew, primary fermentation in open vats for 8 days at step-controlled temperature; secondary fermentation is cold in lager tanks, where it is combined with Bohemian black lager (which has been filtered to reduce yeasts, reviving the fermentation). This adds the chocolate color, enriched body, and complex taste highlights of smoke, coffee, and a touch of caramel. Food pairings: The acidity that comes out from the fruitiness in the beer cuts the fat in a down-home meal like sausage, egg and chips.

Deep, dark brown in color - almost black, but looks light and effervescent if that's possible. Thick, rocky head that is beige in color. Aroma has a metallic note that is immediately noticeable and seems to be present in all of the Herold brews. Focus of the nose is on the rich malt, baked bread and just a hint of maple. Hops are muted in both the nose and flavor.
Malt and yeast take center stage in the flavor and give life to the term "liquid bread". Bit of a gritty mouthfeel in this one. Finish has a slightly sour note but seems to support the bread motif - perhaps sourdough might be a good comparison. Very nice beer. -

Quite the interesting beer here. Not only interesting but very tasty too! Smokey/petey notes (very slight) in the nose along with sweetness. Appearance was very nice with a dark brown/reddish color to it. Mouthfeel was very light bodied for a dark beer. Flavors were excellent with a creaminess that was satisfying. Not sure when I will see this one come around again, but I'm glad I had it.

A Czech-brewed dunkelweizen. It’s an interesting concept. At first I was thinking that they just fermented cool, which would have left the hefeweizen yeast flavors muted, but after reading the description, I guess they blend the hefeweizen with a black lager which explains the muted hefeweizen flavors. A bit sandy and dusty, slight bubblegum esters. Not bad, but not good enough.
