On tap at Cloverleaf, indefinite moderation lacks stylistically sufficient banana-clove tartness and peaty pale wheat spine. Mild grape, apple, apricot and fig illusions never break the surface.

On tap at Poor Henry’s, spunky dark wheat ale brings smoky black patent malting to burnt rye toasting, nutty pumpernickel breading and day-old coffee remnant. Soft-watered mineral graining contrasts lightly pungent hop char in the backdrop. Serve to robust porter-stout imbibers.

Middling dry-bodied Brewhouse Rarities offering provides peculiar Earl Grey tea malting to black chocolate roast (perhaps mimicking schwarzbier-like black patent malt astringency). Gunky Blackstrap molasses-honeyed wheat spine picks up moldy rye breading. Not sure it all comes together, but may suit particular dark ale tastes. 

Smooth dunkelweizen maintains relaxed feel as dainty dried fruited pleasantries seep into nutty caramel malting. Polite raisin and fig tones soak up ancillary chocolate-vanilla sweetness. Toasted rye-pumpernickel spine scatters tertiary roasted tobacco, light-roast coffee and cocoa niceties.

Unsure if stylistic integrity is betrayed or if correct balance is achieved with sour ale-leaning German dunkel (in canned version). Certain odd complexities abound after cascading tan head settles above caramel-hued body. Fungi yeast earthiness inundates vinegary green apple and white grape tartness as well as bubbly champagne pucker, disrupting mild chocolate malting. Unduly dried orange musk and murky ashen walnut char congest embittered citric-spoiled finish. Expectant banana sweetness lost in the muddled mix.

Velvety brown-bodied relaxant brings dark-roasted amber graining and mild dry-hopped bittering to Graham Cracker-honeyed dark wheat malting. Soured fig-date conflux fades beneath dark chocolate, espresso and molasses subsidy. Call it a hybridized dunkelweizen with porter-like leanings.
