Kapuziner Weissbier Schwarz

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 9

500 ml swingtop bottle, will soon be available at Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 5.4%. Dark brown colour, huge beige head. Lovely strong aroma of banana, cloves, mildly roasted malts and rye bread, a hint of chocolate. Bready flavour with mildly roasted malts and chocolate again, some cloves and banana in the background. Not too sweet. Low on hops, as normal for the style, but the roasted malts make the finish acceptable. Beautifully balanced, a very fine Dunkelweizen.

Part of a bluesandbarbq gift box from last month... pours deep brown with a slight tan head with a wheaty-malty-banana-clove nose. Oddly thin and watery on the pallette - was unexpected. Light malty flavor - drinkable, but wanted a bit more... uhmmmph.

straight up not as good as the hefe. tries to wear two hats, and does so reasonably well, but is not a great schwarz or hefe. light bodied, nice smoke aroma and flavor, roasted malt, but again, lighter on the palate, and the banana/clove/bubblegum flavor that was the hefe seems to be slightly obscured here. decent, but the hefe was better.

The appearance of this is solid black with a beige head. The aroma is similar to Whoppers candy with some biscuit notes. The flavor is chocolate, caramel, more malt mix, and some bananas. The aftertaste is rather malty but not overly sweet. Overall this was pretty good!

Deep brown pour with a sustained creamy tight head and minimal lacing. Aromas of molasses, sweet wet malt, very slight bananas, and a touch of wet cardboard. Taste is a tad thin with a wheaty, malty and fruity flavor. Decent but not outstanding.

The reason I bought Kapuziner Schwarz was to get the bottle for my homebrew bottle inventory Collecting swingtops. If I like the beer -a plus.Nice pop when opened, poured a tan rocky head, that was impressive. Settled down to about a 1/4 in. and trailed down the glass with nice lacing. Dark brown pour, with a carmel smoky nose. I didn't find the nice clove and banana that comes with a Hefe. Creamy and smooth, coffee and chocolate notes came thru.Clean finish. No aftertaste. Very drinkable.

Decent, but average beer here. It looks absolutely stunning in my Maudite class. A rich, dark (really dark) root beer brown color, nearly black. On the pour it's very alive, creeping over my glass after a semi-gentle pour. It settles down to a 2" creamy off-white head then eventually gives way to a scant 1/4" head. First aromas were dirty pennies, wet earth, a bit of brown sugar and canteloupe. After warming up, some roasted malts start popping up, with a bit of bananna. Mouthfeel is very smooth, incredible velvety. Flavors are some light unsweetend coffee, grains, and a very light bitter finish. The bitter coffee-like finish is quite lingering actually. Very smooth going down. Overall, nothing really interesting about it. Perhaps sweltering at 105 degrees on a hot May afternoon isn't the best time to drink this. I can see this going really well on an chilly October night, sitting about a fire.

This dunkel pours a dark brown color from a 50cl bottle. Large sized off-white foamy head, with long retention and nice lacing. The aroma is cocoa, banana, yeast and wheat. A medium bodied dunkel. The malts are wheaty and chocolate. Lots of banana and fruit flavors. The hops are earthy and slightly spicy. Lively carbonation. Seems more maltly and less fruity than most dunkels. Lots of yeastiness at the finish. Very drinkable dunkel. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

A hazy, very dark brown colour with big foamy white head. Some wheat, bananas, cocoa and slight yeast in the aroma. Flavour is surprisingly watery, but does have some fruity notes as well as wheat.

Pours a dark brown/black with only faint hints of light creeping through the edges. It has a creamy one inch head that fades to a thin cap and thick ring, that leaves behind a nice sheet of lacing. Smell; wheat and roasted dark malts with traces of lemons. There's a nice presence of cloves and bits of chocolate. Taste; nice wheaty bread dough, with dark chocolate malts on the initial sips. It has a little lemon to it with cloves and just some hints of bananas as it gets warmer. There's a bit of a hop bitterness in the finish. Mouthfeel is a bit on the thin side. Very drinkable.
