Beer of the Week: Franziskaner Hefe-Weissbier Dunkel

Beer score: 8.4

Company: Franziskaner Weissbier
ABU: 5.0
IBU: 10

Pours a reddish brown color with a foamy head while giving off smells of dark fruit, caramel, and burnt nuts, but the smell isn't overly strong.

Smooth on the tongue with more of that caramel, along with some bready tastes.

Stronger, fruitier, and a little sweeter than the non-dunkel version of this beer, but not overly powerful, which is somewhat surprising in a German brew.

Definitely worth trying. Too complex for most amateur beer tasters, as they might not even realize this is a beer.
