First pour of my Dunkel. It will lager a while. So this pint isn’t real clear. Nice and malty goodness.

Not a good hop for a wheat beer but don't give up on Sabro. I've used it in a porter and many IPAS

Not a wheat beer in the banana/clove sense. This was an American Wheat and a pretty blank canvas. Still, it wasn’t the best choice for this style either.
The other time I used it was in a Porter as well, and frankly I felt it clashed big time with the dark malts.

However, I am willing to concede that there could be many reasons why I didn’t care for them that can’t be blamed on the hops themselves. Mainly that I completely butchered the timing and/or the quantity of the additions. Hops are a great mystery to me.
 
Kegged my “Irish Breakfast Stout” had a pint left over. This turned out quite well. I need to obviously let it carb and chill. So I used oats in place of flaked barley. The taste is less dry and maybe smoother? At under 4.5% this should be an easy keg to empty once the time comes

Try it's cousin Talus if you get a chance.

Dark mild here man if it were just a bit thicker in mouthfeel I'd be a happy brewer back to the drawing board.
