Schlafly No. 15

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

Another draft selection I had while visiting the Tap Room. Pint arrived looking hazy with a deep orange color, thin white head of foam that settled to a thin ring. Little retention and no lacing. Smell was definatly wheaty, with some bread and other yeasty and fruity aromas. Tatse was good, very hefe-like. Lots of yeast flavor with a sweet fruity taste. Slight hop grapefruit balanced out by some biscuit malt. Good body, thin but to style, lots of carbonation gave a nice tingle bite on the mouthfeel. Another good one.

Poured a clear light amber from the tap at Schlafly's Tap Room. Thin off-white head and sour aroma of banana, apple and clove. Flavors of fruit, malt, yeast and dark wheat. MUSIC: '5:15 Train' by A Sunny Day in Glasgow

This dunkel pours a medium brown color from a 12oz bottle. Large sized white foamy head. Aroma is biscuit, bread, a touch floral and sweet. A medium to light bodied dunkel. Malts are caramel, bready and sweet. Hops are slightly earthy. Nice balance. Smooth taste. Nice, but not overpowering, malt sweetness throughout. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

The aroma is spicey and full of wheat. The appearance is cloudy dark amber. The mouthfeel is what I can only describe as average, which is not too thick and not too watery. The flavor is spicey wheat.

Bottle courtesy Brett and Hannah. Pour was cloudy brown, nice initial head, solid lacing. The aroma was caramel, light roast, bananas. Flavor was outstanding, light caramel, a touch of roast, firm banana support (esp. for a dunkelweizen), notes of chocolate, cinnamon, and vanilla. Mouthfeel was perfectly, not heavy, yet still creamy smooth. Two thumbs up here on this one, perhaps my favorite of the style? Thanks, Brett and Hannah!

Sampled from bottle. Good but weird. Almost as if a hoppy dark wheat melded with a wit. The yeast character is strikingly similar to unibroue's yeast. A little to herbal for me to buy a lot of.

Pours dark golden and somewhat cloudy with a small, creamy head. Wheat, sweet grain, and peppery spice dominate the aroma. There's a whole lot of flavor packed into this one--malty with herbal hops. It is heavily spiced but complex in that I can't easily ascertain the different spices though I know peppers play a key role. There's no trace of those pumpkin pie-type spices I get so sick of...A nice, solid medium body with strong carbonation and moderate warming effect. Happy 15th Schlafly!

The 15th Anniversary Ale from Schlafly, and its a nice little celebration. Very festive aroma, spicy and fruity to the max. Orange, pepper, clove, coriander, vanilla/chocolate, banana and sweet malt top the list, with peaches and other fruits following. Pours a mildly murky brown/copper. Rather thin and flatter across the palate than expected given the inspiration for this one. The flavors follow the aromatics beat by beat. On the whole, a nice Dunkel Witbier, or Spiced Dunkelweizen or whatever it is...I like it.
