Weyerbacher Slam Dunkel

Beer-a-Day #350 Weyerbacher Slam Dunkel

Slam Dunkel was a small batch release in 2007. We had such an overwhelming response that we had to put it in the seasonal rotation. We also decided we couldn’t live without drinking this beer every year!  This 7% Double Dunkelweizen is unfiltered and made with over 50% wheat malt along with pale, munich, and a touch of chocolate to give it the traditional color and flavor. Bitterness is subdued to allow the Weihenstephen yeast to shine through with those traditional notes of banana and clove.

Dark brown and a bit hazy. Plenty of banana in clove in the aroma, with an underlying bite from the alcohol. Big malty flavor. That’s a good sipping beer.
