Summit Unchained 9, Dunkel Weizen

The Summit Brewing Company is in St. Paul, Minnesota and has been making craft beer since 1986.  This is part of their Unchained Series of limited release special batch beers.  Batch 10 Abbey Ale released today, but I am just getting to my bottle of Batch 9, a dark (dunkel) German-style hefeweizen.

This 6.0% ABV beer pours a cloudy light orange/brown in color.  There is a massive head of roiling and boiling light brown foam.  It is well and finely carbonated.  The aroma is yeasty, bright, brassy, tart, then becoming like a light, sweet banana bread.  The taste is roasted malt, nutty, with a light and balanced banana bread in the background.  This has nice flavors, and I like how it incorporates and highlights the yeast along with the dark malts, without letting the yeast overpower everything.  My only criticism is that it is a bit watery in the mouth.
