This is my first try at a Dunkelweizen. I brewed this last night and it is fermenting now. From first observation it smells sweet with a carmel hint.

Just bottled this batch and had to taste it... has lots of mouth feel and the dark malts combine for a molasses type taste, the hops finish it off lightly to make it not too sweet.
