Here we have a fantastically named beer from Uiltje, complete with the requisite awesome can art.  And the beer - an experimental Oaked Dunkelweizen.

In German ‘dunkel’ is ‘dark’ and a ‘weizen’ is a wheat beer.  The Dunkelweizen is kind of a cross between a traditional German hefeweisse and a dunkel.

It pours a dark orange colour, which is a lot lighter than I was expecting with a really fluffy white foam that actually settles quite quickly.  The pleasant aroma is of wheat malt and banana with a hint of vanilla.

The flavour starts off being all about the malt.  There is an early sweetness with some caramel malt that is lightened in the mouth by the wheat.  The fruit flavour is mostly banana from the yeast, though there are also hints of some yellow stone fruit.

Our beer finishes with a little earthy hop tingle and traces of vanilla.  This is really the only sign of the oak chips that the beer is soaked on during fermentation.  There is such a nice balance to the beer, nothing is really that obvious or noteworthy, it doesn’t make it seem that memorable a beer.  But it makes for a very pleasant beer to drink, that was gone before I really noticed.
