Steel & Oak Brewing Co. Smoked Dunkelweizen Dunkelweizen at 5.2% ABV (C$5.39 at Willow Park Wine & Spirits, 650 ml, bottle date 17-Dec-2015, reviewed 15-Mar-2016)
Appearance: clear deep amber with two fingers of fluffy light beige head, excellent retention and lacing. (5/5) Aroma: wheat, light smoke, banana, caramel, nutty. (6/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-low bitter, mild smoke. (6/10) Palate: medium-light body, moderate carbonation, off-dry astringent smoky finish. (3/5)
A fairly light and easy drinking wheat beer, despite the dark colour and smokiness. Tastes very much like a hefeweizen, but with smoke dominating and nutty overtones bringing up the rear. Not without its charms. (12/20)
6.5/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
