Tonight's beer: Anchor Winter Wheat
Opens with thick smears of chocolate layered on toasted dark bread. Spice around the edges and distinct fruity notes—I'd be inclined to say cloves and bananas, but this isn't brewed with a weizen yeast, far as I know. Earthy-grassy bitterness emerges around the end, as the beer slides easily toward dry. A smattering of pepper lingers.
A little lighter than medium-bodied, lots of carbonation. Some soft stickiness, quickly cleansing and scrubbing and drying. Refreshing.
A superb dark wheat beer that comes across as surprisingly weizen-like, considering the style. Intense as heck, remarkably complex; nicely balanced. Impressively drinkable. Anchor have brewed a tasty and pleasantly idiosyncratic winter seasonal, here.
