Dunkelwick

Well my latest homebrew I have cracked open was my Dunkelweizen aka Dunkelwick. This is going to be my first true crack at evaluating my own homebrew. What can I do to make it better. Everyone that has tried has liked it, sometimes I wonder if they are just being nice, or just wanting me to supply them with beer. Otherwise it does feel good when you get compliements on a beer you brewed yourself. So here we go.

Aroma

Sweet aroma, I catch some of the yeast characters and some chocolate notes.

Appearance

How about you see for yourself?

Flavor

Now since I live in the south, some would consider it the deep south, where the humidity is high and the temperatures are outrageous I think I got only a little estery flavors in this beer. I can almost get a hint of coffee and a huge clove character is most definately in there from the type of yeast I used (Safbrew WB-06 Dry Yeast).

Mouthfeel

Good mouthfeel, not as thick as it looks. But not as creamy as I would want it anyways.

Well, there you have it, my first evaluation of one of my homebrews. More to come later.
