Tasting Notes
Moderate but not overpowering clove and wheat with nice dark color.
Here's my first recipe that I think is worth sharing. I was pretty impressed with how it turned out considering it was my first attempt at a partial mash (used DeathBrewer's stovetop method -- thanks man).

And yes, I'm aware that "Dubbel" is Belgian, not German, but the alliteration was too tempting.

I would post the BeerXML file but the forum won't let me.

Recipe: Dubbel Dee Dunkelweizen
Brewer: filterban
Style: Dunkelweizen
TYPE: Partial Mash
Taste: (30.0) Moderate but not overpowering clove and wheat scent with deep dark color. Extremely high carbonation with decent retention.

Not a complex enough flavor for a dunkel, but overall is a good beer -- one of the best beers I've brewed yet.
