Drunken Dunkel Regular

This was my second time for this dunkelweizen. Once again it turned out great, with a wonderful banana clove aroma and finish, but still with a lot of flavor and kick.

Log: 6/03/06 Brewed, Note that this yeast kicks in immediately the very first day, so watch your airlock for first day clogging. After the first day though, it was fine, so a blowoff system was not needed.
No secondary this year, as I went on vacation during fermentation.
