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’.

Opaque black pour with a thin white head. Roasted malt aroma. Semi-sweet malt taste with notes of chocolate and bread. Very clean, light finish. Nice.

Shared by Fidel, pours deep brown with finger thick frothy head. The nose is sweet and a bit of cola and prunes. The flavor is much the same, with a bit of a sweet fruit tang. Medium-full mouthfeel.

Deep dark brown colour, fine and very persistent head. Chocolate aroma very low, mostly cereales aroma. Fine but not as great as expected.

In bottiglia al ristorante a Naturno insieme ad un gulasch con canederli; aroma quasi inesistente, sapore flebile con scarsissima banana e giusto un poco poco di sentori ’scuri’ (caffè), ma per il resto sciacquata e insulsa come la sua controparte chiara.

Bottle from Brewery Creek poured into a Schneider Flaschengarung. Clear mahogany brown with good carbonation and a two-finger, cappuccino head. Moderate clove and banana nose with vanilla and bready malt. Low banana and clove flavor with moderate vanilla, caramel, and some breadiness; medium malty richness; low hop bitterness; slightly sweet palate with low tart citrus and relatively dry finish. A good example of a classic Dunkelweizen.

Bottle. Pours a murky dark brown with a two-finger tan head. Aroma of wheat, malt, some brown sugar. Initial flavor of wheat, primarily. I felt that the carbonation hid any other significant flavor at first. As the beer sits in your mouth, flavors of dark fruit, biscuit, and caramel come out. Decent, but really lacking that special touch.
