Dunkelweizen

Also Known As:   Hefeweizen Dark, Dunkelhefeweizen

Dunkelweizen is the dark version of the Hefeweizen. It is made from both wheat and barley malts. The malts are caramelized or roasted malts, which gives the beer both its color and its complexity.

Store Dunkelweizen beer in a cool, dark place - where no sunlight can reach it (sunlight harms the flavor of the beer). Also, store upright, so that the yeast falls to the bottom of the glass.
