Commercial Description:
Bottle conditioned.
Ingredients: Water; wheat malt; barley malt; roasted malt; hops; yeast.
A wheat beer from the good old days.
Erdinger Weissbier ’dark’ is a rich and smooth wheat beer specialty from Erdinger Weissbräu. It owes its full-bodied flavor to the fine hops and dark malt used in its production.
The dark beer specialty is brewed according to an age-old recipe. Its spicy flavor also results from the increased proportion (about 13%) of original wort. Nonetheless, at 5.6%, it doesn’t contain much more alcohol than Erdinger Weissbier ’with fine yeast’.

Dark ruby brown apperarance with thick, lasting beige head. Faint aroma of coffee and barley. The flavor is more like a Dunkel lager not a Dunkelweizen. It has a very minimal wheat character.

<i>500 ml bottle from LCBO, served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass. DE05/08.</i>

<b>App.</b>: Murky deep cola brown a moderate off-white head. <b>Aroma</b>: Minty herbals, dark dried fruits, sweet cherries, bubblegum esters, slightly tangy fruitiness, a bit of yeast and bread dough. <b>Palate</b>: Medium body and somewhat sparse effervescence. <b>Flav.</b>: Less than the nose, still some minty herbals, more yeast, a bit of dark dried fruit and caramel, much less esters (still present), slightly woody; a little off-dry, very low bitterness with a bit of lingering brown sugar.

Nice stuff, a bit disappointing in the mouth.

Bouteille de 500 ml. La bière est de couleur rubis avec un col de mousse fauve modeste. Au nez on découvre des arômes de banane brune, de sucre brun et de céréales. En bouche le corps est mince avec une effervescence faible-moyenne. On goûte des saveurs de blé, de bananes grillées, de céréales ainsi qu’une légère présence de houblon.

Pours a dark brown, darker than just about any other wheat beer Ive had. Aroma is, as you would expect, wheaty and roasty. Flavor isnt as present as I would expect. Bit of roasty and rather dry. Not bad. Not wonderful. Rather disappointing after having the regular Hefe.

500ml bottle with gift pack from LCBO. A lot less flavour in this beer than I was expecting, although what is there is good. Also a lot more carbonation than I expected. Not too shabby.

500 ml bottle from LCBO. Pours dark, dark brown, and yes, it’s a little cloudy. Genrous head, with staying power. Taste is primarily roast malt, hint of chocolate. Fine to flat carbonation.

Dark brown colour with creamy head. Malt flavouring was nice with nice finish of light bitterness.

500ml bottle
5.6% ABV
I tried this beer on November 27, 2008 after purchasing from one of my local LCBO outlets. The beer poured an opaque dark muddy brown colour with a 3/4" creamy tan coloured head that lasted throughout. The aroma was weak, but definitely had a roasted malt character to it. The mouthfeel was full-bodied, with medium carbonation. The flavour was dominated by roasted malt tones, with some bitterness in the mix
