Fish Brewing Co.Grade: D+
Appearance: Pours a cloudy dark brown with an amber tint. The dirty white head fades fast and leaves weak lacing.
Smell: Sweet malts with a bit of chocolate and caramel mingled with some wheat and yeast. The smell is pretty muted.
Taste: Toasty malts and a light choclate flavor. No wheat-like characteristics at all. Some spices and clove notes are there. The finish is slightly toasty with minimal hops. That's about it.
Mouthfeel: Lighter-bodied with medium carbonation and pretty smooth.
Drinkability: Decent. Light toasted malts with a pretty thin body makes this very sessionable.
Overall: The label says, "Alpine-style Dark Wheat Ale." Where is the wheat? Where is the weizen yeast? I can't find them. This is a decent dunkel, but in no way should it be considered a dunkelweizen. It seems more like a Munich Dunkel to me, but that's it.
