Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8 April 19, 2019<br> LCBO # 255 (Milton, Ontario, Canada – Main / Bronte)<br> 750ml bottle<br> 9.5% ABV<br> Best Before: January 22, 2022<br> $11.95<br> The beer was bottled in January 2017. It pours a translucent mahogany colour with a generous off-white rocky head which settles into a long lasting film. The aroma is tart cherries, vinegar, grass, and wheat…..but the tart cherries leave an impression, especially as I was not expecting them! The mouthfeel is medium bodied with above average carbonation. The flavour is interesting. You taste both the tart fruit notes and vinegar, and then in the background is the traditional chocolate notes you get with a dunkelweizen. I like it….a lot. Not crazy about the price, but the beer is good! |
