Saint Arnould Dunkelweizen

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 4

Pours a hazy deep caramel-red colour with a tanned creamy head that has decent retention. Lacing is minimal and carbonation is average. The nose is beautiful with yeast and spices that reminds me of Unibroue. Mild bananas are present too. The mouthfeel is pretty thin, but it does stick a bit. Light roasted malt is part of the flavours, with some little bitterness and not much aftertaste. Too bad for the lack in the taste and mouthfeel, this brew could of been something special.

Bottle: Poured a deep dirty brown color weizen with a medium off-white bubbly head with average retention. Aroma of banana and ester is dominant and quite pleasant. Taste of semi sweet banana bread with strong yeasty finish is enjoyable. Body is light with some average carbonation. Interesting take on a style that doesn’t get distributed often around here.

Bottle: I assume this is a Krystal dunkelweizen as it was clear and dark cola colored in the glass...weak 2 finger cap went fast...only light lace...disappointing. Very weak dunkle weizen aromas: some light toast, subtle burnt treacle seetness and that’s about all. Weak wheat malt presence, light body, sour spoiled character. ewwww... sour-yeasty off- tastes up front like a spoiled unibroue lees ale....nothing here to resemble a proper dunkelweizen...fast, thin, unpleasnt mustyness and sour off tones that don’t belong in this style Leave it on the shelf.
