Tonight's beer: Anchor Winter Wheat
Dark bread, caramel, and chocolate to open, with earth and peat in counterpoint. Threads of bananas and other unidentifiable fruits. Grass and maybe flowers in the distance. Starts pretty sweet, transitions through softly bitter to nicely dry.
Pretty light-bodied, nicely carbonated. Some bready chewiness, maybe a touch of stickiness. Slowly drying and eventually refreshing.
A very tasty dark wheat beer, with more in the way of bananas than I remember—almost as though it were brewed with weizen yeast (but no cloves). Intense and complex, nicely balanced; poised, supple, graceful, integrated. Drinkable as heck. A wonderful beer for a chilly evening.
