Sturdy chartreuse-bronzed dark wheat beer allows sour yeast and subtle grains to impede soft hop-fizzed citric-soured banana-clove surface. Delicate barley-roasted burnt caramel pleasantry daubs dried prune overtures and soft floral undertones, reaching buttery sourdough finish. Enjoyable, but not essential.

WEYERBACHER SLAM DUNKEL DOUBLE DUNKELWEIZEN ALE
Creamy ruddy amber full body retains overripe banana-clove sweetness, cinnamon-toasted apple jacking, and brown sugared cocoa buttering to warm barleywine finish. Prune-plum-fig sourness, cider-y green grape pucker, and dry bourbon boozing nestle tertiary red cherry, sugared date, and butterscotch notes.

WILD BOAR BLACK FOREST WHEAT
FRANZISKANER HEFE-WEISSE DUNKEL
Succinct tawny-clouded meringue-headed dark wheat combines crystalline malts, sourdough yeast, and musty citric spicing in brisk manner. Clove nose gets minor floral yeast and restrained banana backup while leathery earthiness absorbs tart raisin-fig-date riptide by orange blossom finish. A bit soft for its exalted class, though.

On tap, mildly medicinal, murkily clouded, unfiltered dark wheat ale brings bittersweet prune-fig propensity to tropical citric rush, faint banana-clove souring, and cocoa-hazelnut dash. Woody cherry-smoked dryness and charred tobacco hint add further eccentricities. In bottle, depleting ashy coarseness saps fruity subtleties.
