Our Black Wheat arrives to relieve the bleak bore of Wisconsin's winter. Rich and chewy, this bottle-conditioned weiss is bursting with Midwestern wheat, oats, rye and finished by malted barley. This style is a rare gem even in the Black Forests of Bavaria. We brew it now as an accompaniment to meaty feasts or to sip near a roaring fire.
Expect this beer to pour the deepest black body topped by an opulent head of lip-smacking foam. Roasted chocolate and toasted caramel notes brim over the top. Lavish spice aromas of clove and cinnamon are promoted naturally by the yeast we import especially for this most individual of brews.

[1] Review by willblake from Brick, NJ, USA who has tried this beer (1/18/2006 8:04:50 PM)
"05.03.05 12oz thanks to MrFacto. Nearly black, but brown, muddy; frothy brown head fades. Aroma is burnt toast, bubblegum, banana, savory spice, hints of licorice and Dunkin Donuts. Sort of like a black and tan with porter and weizenbock. Flavor reminds me of that exactly. In fact, I had to read the label to see if that was the case. Flavors are mostly rich and wheaty; the roasting is light but ubiquitous. Body is lighter than it looks, fairly effy. Somewhat tart and only a bit bitter (roast) makes the finish seem muddled, lacking direction -- tart, bitter, sweet, dry, fruity, lingering roast -- nothing asserts. But everything up to the swallow is wonderful and I very much enjoyed drinking this stuff. Thanks Matt."

"Murky brown body with a sizeable head. Awesome aroma. coffee and bananas. It’s breakfast in a bottle. The body is a bit of a letdown after the aroma, but still pretty good."

[3] Review by beergeek1 from fitchburg, WI, USA who has tried this beer many times. (11/21/2005 5:48:10 PM)
"Although not really a wheat beer fan this one is special. Deep black body with a rich head. Wonderful mouthfeel. Hopheads will be disappointed as it has a smooth roasted chocolate maltiness with less bitterness. This is a unique brew that is very drinkable on a winter day. If you want something out of the ordinary, try this beer!"

[4] Review by tjthresh from Belton, MO, USA who has tried this beer once. (11/12/2005 8:23:50 AM)
"12 oz bottle. Poured into my Back Road Brewery standard American pint glass. Murky brown with a long standing tan head. Rich bready, chocolatey, clovey aroma. Not very assertive. Bitter chocolate wheat flavors. Very drying. Med/Full bodied. Not a fan of wheat beers, but alway up for something new."
