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’.

Soul Cafe, Budapest. Very dark brown colour with a large off white creamyish head. Looked the part. Aroma was brown sugar, malt and some dark fruit. Flavour was pretty malty with some sweetness. Balance was ok. Not bad, just not earth shattering. Probably the best beer of the trip, which isn’t saying much.

.5L Bottle Lt to medium body that is smooth and sweet. Nose is minimal caramel. No lacing, and not much carbonation. Mouthfeel is caramel and some powdered sugar. Finish is a bit watery and the wheat is subdued. This is a quite drinkable beer none the less, but a bit off the mark.

Good dark body, thin short lived head. Nice thin roast taste, a bit burnt. A great finish and a long aftertaste to remind you how good a beer you have just had.

Dark brown, light beige foamy head. Sourish apple sauce aroma, little roasted malts and rust. Flavor is softly roasted and wheaty with little coffee and cocoa. Smoooth. Medium bodied, a bit spritzy carbonation. Very schwartzbier like dunkelweizen, I like that roastiness.

Dark copper brown with a strong head. Aroma is of cloves, yeast, citrus, banana and roasted coffee. Taste of roasted coffee with a subtle hint of salt and sour. The aftertase is of a semi-sweet caramel.

(GERMAN) Pours a very dark brown almost black in color with a lg-tan head. The aroma is of dark malts and wheat. Taste kind of has a roasted almond flavor. There is some nice carbonation, but finishes a bit on the watery side. I still think this dunkel would go very nice with a meal.

Dark. Burnt and malty. Quite light and easy to drink. Watery... There might be some coffee, wood tone to it. Also of course some yeast tone. I lke the brighter ones better.
