Cool fermentation? I recently did a Dampfbier using the Weihenstephan strain, fermented it cooler than recommended and got a very Erdinger-like beer, very limited banana, pronounced clove.Ahhhh, good choices

I may try it tonight, I've just in the last few months started drinking beer while taking an interest in analyzing different flavors in the nose and on the tongue... these German classic malty beers are just so complex... I really enjoy them.Ahhhh, good choices

Probably partially due to the ~2% less ABV...a litter thinner than the Paulaner Salvator...
