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’.

A dark brown, quite clear dunkel with an aroma of lightly burned malt and wheat. The flavour is in the same alley with a balanced, low-bitter finish. Ok...

(Sample from September 29, 2006 Beer Club Meeting; 500ml bottle, last on July 12, 2008) Quick drink before going out… looks great in the glass, a lovely dark brown color. Light and sweet, but less sweet than many of the lighter Weissbiers. More heavy, malty and minerally. Honestly, I think of this beer and I think "lunch". Goes great with a bag lunch, ham & cheese, etc. Yummy!

(bottle 03-2009): Pours a dark reddish body. Brownish head, creamy & lasting, and pretty big. Malty, somewhat banany aroma, grapey. Not too strong an aroma. Somewhat banana, dusty taste. More body than a hefeweizen. Nutty.

This dark brown beer poured with a large beige head that subsided in a couple minutes. The wheat base is barely discernible under the roasted malt flavor, which is tasty but a bit thin. There is a carbonated finish.

Richly flavoured and coloured beer, with moderately appealing appearance. Would prefer the Weissbier, but that’s more of a personal preference.

North American label calls this Hefe Weizen Dark. Aroma is malty, a bit fruity and perhaps with a metallic touch. Pours an almost completely opaque black with a long lasting off-white head. Unfortunately the foam doesn’t seem to want to leave any lacing whatsoever. Taste is like a mix of a hefeweizen and a stout. Mouthfeel begins with carbonation but ends up a bit watery. Some bitterness overall, but more malt. I’ll stick with Schneider Aventinus for a similar, but better, beer.
