From the brewer

Our dark wheat beer is impressive with its creamy white foam. A fruity-fresh sweetness and hints of mature bananas harmonise with delicious flavours of roasted malt, sparkling and full-bodied with a light caramel taste on the first sip. An excellent accompaniment from hearty meals and game to chocolate and nut desserts. Brewed according to our centuries-old brewing tradition on the Weihenstephan hill.

Who's been drinking this

Date bread, molasses.
Similar flavor profile to the Schneider Weiss Tap 6 - but while that beer throws the flavors in your face, this beer provides them all on top of a full bodied Ale, allowing you to savor the beer on the palate and almost stumble across banana, clove, and caramel. While Schneider Weiss finishes sweet and funky (and overdone on both counts), this finish is clean with a hint of a the remarkable flavors lingering as a barely-detectable aftertaste.
Bottle at Home
Lots of clove and banana and molasses, with an otherwise high-and-dry flavor. Overall, it was fairly pleasant, but I was hoping for just a touch more of a wheat body in there.
Slightly funky odor. Tastes faintly like a gingersnap cookie, cloves. Clean taste though thin, fizzy body.
Draft at Wurstkuche
