Herbsthäuser Weizen Dunkel
Brewery: Herbsthäuser
Town: Herbsthausen
Style: Weizen Dunkel 5.2%
Color: unfiltered mahogany
Head: off-white, rocky, yeasty
Nose: fruity, yeasty, some roast
Body: medium
Palate: balanced, fruity, yeasty, some roast
Finish: lingering, semi-dry
Served: from a bottle at the Herbsthäuser Brauereigaststätte
Impression: I asked to do a self pour and it’s looking good. Quite dark and though there’s some roast, it remains quite fruity. I’m not sure it would have held up without the Zwetschgen Creme brulee but it’s a great accompaniment. With the dessert, the finish is lingering and semi-dry with a hint of roasty bitterness.
Next beer or back to the beer list.

I'm an American living in Munich and Bamberg. Why? Well, I came for the beer but stayed for the girl. I'm very happily married to a German woman. Of course, the bonus of great beer certainly doesn't hurt. An avid love of hiking and finding new beers has led me to found Beerwanderers, an information resource on beer hiking trails in Franconia with an emphasis on Franconian food specialties and the endless variety of amazing beer the region is renowned for. I also published my first book Beer Hiking Bavaria which features 50 beer hikes in Bavaria and lead beer hiking experiences for those who love beer & nature. View all posts by beerwanderers
