Narrative:

Inadvertent overweight landing at den. Fuel at top of descent along with WX deviations and ATC slowing during approach phase led me to believe we would be below maximum structural landing weight. Combined with previous experience of inaccurate fuel gauge readings in descent led me to believe we would be under 154.5 landing weight. Actual fuel after touchdown, added to zero fuel weight made landing weight 155.1. Noted overweight landing in logbook and notified maintenance by voice, face-to-face, and advised outbound captain as well.
