Status update on Batch #8 (Dunkelweizen)

Well, I've been drinking my #8 as time has gone on, and it appears that it is peaking just about now. In fact, the carbonation is getting a little bit too high for the style (bubbles clinging to the sides of the glass in large groupings), but all in all, the aroma, flavor, mouthfeel and overall impression are back where I like a Dunkel to be. I'm still not sure what happened with my #5 batch (also a Dunkel), but although the aroma is still a little funky, the taste has mellowed and I can drink the beer happily. Actually, it seems to exactly match Michelob's Dunkel Weisse, which is a good product, but doesn't quite capture the essence of the Dunkel I seek.
