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’.

I really like the dunkel although it’s not my favorite. Tastes almost identical to the Weiss maybe a little bit more pronounced malt profile

Bottle. Very dark brown beer, tan head. Aroma of roasted malts, caramel, spices. Flavour is sweet, liquorice, laurel, roasted malts. A little sour due to the carbonation. Didn’t really like it.

A wonderful and tasty beer. Had on tap at Bottlescrew Bills, Calgary AB which is my bar of choice. Pours a deep brown verging on black colour which a huge off white head that remains large. An aroma of roasted malts, almonds and other nuts, caramel, and a hint of fruit. A taste of heat and roast. Peculiar and interesting mouthfeel- the beer is uncarbonated and medium to full bodied. A great dark hefe to compliment their hefeweizzen. Will definately drink again especially on tap at Bottlescrew Bills, Calgary AB.

Pours a deep, dark brown with a huge head which collapses to a quarter-inch head with great retention and some lace. Slightly skunky lagerish aroma - light butter, light toastiness, and as it warms, a nice spiciness. Tastes surprisingly pleasant - I don’t normally like this style of beer. Sweet and buttery with a light molasses touch, but with a nice strong & smooth malt backbone. Light metallic taste to the hops, particularly in the finish. A bit undercarbonated, but a good creamy milkshake of a body. I don’t dislike this beer. Would go well with a steak.

Great dark Hefe beer. Not expensive (actually very good value) and a real pleasure to drink on a late summer day in a beer garden. Dark and refreshing, with a mysterious appeal of darkness, but Vorsicht, only drink when you are hungry. It tastes like a fine bread and is a pleasure, for sure, to share with close friends or a Wingman (USAF).

Attractive looking glass of beer. Thick off white head atop a dark brown body. Nothing spectaular to smell or taste though. Bit of clove, bit of banana, bit of biscuity malt. Worth a try though, just not my thing. Although i’ll probably sup one or two again in the future.

bit of a sweet malt aroma, dark colour, a little thin body, but has a clover/banana aftertaste to it.
