What beers would have a yeast smell?!


Question: What beers would have a yeast smell!?
When I was young I went to a pub with my dad, and he got a very dark, very strong beer that smelled like yeast (or fresh cooked bread)!. What kinds of beers would be like that!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Beers that have a strong yeasty aroma tend to be unfiltered beers such as German-style Hefeweizens, Weizenbocks, Dunkelweizens (very dark in color), Belgian-style Witbiers, Trippels, Dubbels, Saisons, etc!.
The bready smell is most likely a result of the beer itself!. Many beers have bready aromas as a result of the malted barley used to brew them!.
My best guess would be a Dunkelweizen, which is a Dark German-style ale made with at least 50% wheat malt, with unfiltered yeast!. But, being that you said he had it in a pub, that makes me wonder, as it isn't exactly the most common style of beer found in pubs!.
It could have been a stout if it was very dark in color, or perhaps a porter, both of which can have pumpernickel bread-like aromas!.
