Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier Dark at 5.3%ABV by Bayerische Staatsbrauerei Weihenstephan is a world class Dunkelweizen or Dark Heffeweizen. Why is this one one of the best anyway? Well, it could be because it made in the German tradition using Bavarian yeast as well as made in the World oldest brewery (Since the year 1040). There is more to this beer that can be said about the best in Belgium. This is one of the best in Germany. Bavarian yeast is that special yeast that when fermented with malted wheat provides banana and clove flavors to a beer. So we get a greater amount of banana and caramel bread flavors with less bitterness as in other dark heffs. Although some citrus like sweet orange is there. Some dark fruit like raisins are also there but only notes of them. A more of a spicy and tart flavor along with a hint of chocolate from the roasted malts to give it a banana chocolate like after taste as well. Heffeweizen and even bready Belgium beer fans should try this one for sure, it is a very awesome beer.
