| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 30, 2009 Non è cattiva: nei fatti potrebbe essere la migliore Erdinger che ho assaggiato, semplicemente non è una weizenbock; i caratteri della weizen NON li ha, per dire i più pesanti nessun sentore di lievito, niente banana, poca torbidezza. Un’onesta bock forse un po’ più beverina di una doppel. Bierkrug (291), Idar-Oberstein (temp in DC), Germany
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Nov 26, 2009 500 ML bottle in Germany. Drak brown color with a nice light brown crown. Aroma is a caramel, banana and bread. A bit weak but very complex. Taste is a dream, a nice mix of roasty malts with with a hint of smoke as well. Has some floral strong alcohol flavors as well. Palate ends sweet and smooth. Let warm a bit before you drink this if it was in a frige and also let the carbs settle as well. For sure Erdinger’s flagship brew. One of my top beers.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 11, 2009 Bottle. Nice mahogany body topped by a good-sized tan head that doesn’t last very long. Aroma is toasted malt, dark sugar, a little banana. The flavor is dark fruit, bready, a little spice, cola, restrained sweetness. Prickly carbonation does detract a bit. Not that complex but still a nice easy drinker. RedhawkFIN (20), Finland

Some apple in aroma with yeast, banana and spiciness. Flavor is weatish with some apples and alcohol. Palate has high carbonation. Stronger version of the Erdinger Dunkel which has a bit more character even though some alcohol appears on flavor. keidjxz (69), Irvine, California, USA
