Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier Dunkel 🇩🇪 - Review

2000(ish) years ago... (according to beer legend) beer scrolls were found within the walls of the Weihenstephaner abbey in Freising Germany. Describing lush and plentiful fields of aromatic hops. Grown for the purpose of, one would imagine, brewing what would become the most delicious fermented beverage available. Did Weihenstephaner invent beer? Perhaps. But more importantly... DUNKEL!
The Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier Dunkel is a dark wheat beer is impressive with its creamy white foam. A fruity-fresh sweetness and hints of mature bananas harmonise with delicious flavours of roasted malt, sparkling and full-bodied with a light caramel taste on the first sip. An excellent accompaniment from hearty meals and game to chocolate and nut desserts. Brewed according to our centuries-old brewing tradition on the Weihenstephan hill.

Was hoping you guys would get to this one eventually! I was a little surprised with how highly you rated the Erdinger Dunkel, knowing how much more I liked this one. Happy to see it got the appreciation it deserves.

[@BeerBrackets]

It’s come up quite a bit in comments over the years, so we were really excited to finally get to it too.

[@joshbecque2424]

I JUST had this. Its better than their original Hefeweizen. The Hefeweizen is for summer, Hefeweizen Dunkel for winter. May be the best beer ive had from Weinstephaner.

[@BeerBrackets]

Have you had the chance to try any of their other beers?

[@joshbecque2424]

@@BeerBrackets All of them

[@DS-TheWheatAleGuy]

VITUS for me. World Class.

[@BeerBrackets]

@@DS-TheWheatAleGuy SO good! We filmed a review of it that'll be releasing soon.

[@megaminiman]

Definitely review the vitus!!

[@BeerBrackets]

Keep an eye on the channel!

[@hectorchavez8558]

[@BeerBrackets]

You won’t be disappointed! We promise. Keep us posted on what you think Hector 🍻

they always do! welcome to the family

[@OneMansOdyssey]

I’ve never tried this one, but everything by Weihenstephaner is good to me. I find it fascinating that your final scores were very complimentary, but there was a slight tinge of disappointment through much of the review because of your positive opinion of their other products.

[@BeerBrackets]

You’re right, it’s that kind of disappointment that comes from having a bar that’s set extremely high.

[@ronaldtheriot]

Ah! A classic!

[@erikahuxley]

I think it's better than Erdinger version. Problem is these single bottle beer are more expensive especially now with inflation, some place in my city charge $5.5-6 for one. For that price, it's better to go for the Kobinian which I think is Weihen's best. I'm just less willing to go for single bottle these days when trying to make my money stretch.
There's not too many dunkel to choose from for us American. Hofbrauhaus Freising have a 6-pack Dunkel which is pretty decent.

[@BeerBrackets]

I don’t have many Dunkels at all to choose from here in Canada either. I just recently found the Paulaner Dunkel on a beer pilgrimage and can’t wait to try that one. Alessandro can’t get it in Florida so we can’t review it unfortunately, but I’m hoping to feature it somehow. Maybe in the next beer explorer episode.

[@rod8672]

On there Pilsner I got the numbers are 0443 any idea what that means because I can’t find a date?

[@BeerBrackets]

That’s a very good question! I’ve seen a 4 digit number printed on bottles of their other beers too. And couldn’t find an expiry date. I tried looking for information online, but no luck.
