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’.

when I saw that the average note of this particular dunkel weisse is above 3 I became very concerned, sour and dissapointed about your tastes my fellow ratebeerians, however there is no judgement on the preferences, ........so....in the terms of type and general ideas this beer is absolutely a failure, failure to be dunkel, failure to be weisse, no yeast, no wheat, some strange not particular "dark"’ notes, no distinctive taste, like sweet-ish and caramel-ish water semi-carbonated

Color is a pleasant cola brown, but nose is thin, almost non-existent. Flavor profile is not very complex--mostly toasted malt and some coffee. Finishes very rapidly, and is highly carbonated for a dark beer. I was disappointed.

The beer pours a dark almost black color with a nice head that pours thick but thins quickly. It has almost no nose at all. The flavors are light and watery but you can get some notes of roasted nuts and caramel mix with malts and wheat. The finish is short lived. The beer is drinkable but not crave-able.

Big head on this beer and a good,dark aroma. There is a malty flavor with a little bit of metallic and spicy hop flavor in the aftertaste. Good wheat beer. Better than it’s lighter brother.

Very dark, probably the darkest dunkelweizen I’ve seen. Great rich chocolate and toffee aroma. The flavor is lacking, just a soft toastiness. Very little weizen.

Labeled as "Erdinger Hefe-Weizen Dark", so I hope I’m rating this in the right place. Poured a dark brown with a moderate beige head. Aroma is wheat bread and sweet malts. Flavor is smooth and malty. Very little in the way of hops or fruitiness. Not bad and a smooth drink, but not much in the way of complexity

50cl bottle from Total Wine Tampa. Pours dark, cloudy brown with thick tan frothy head. Smells of malt, ripe fruit, spice, and slighty sour and sweet aromas. Flavor is malt, hints of oak, faint sweetness, bread and yeast.

Smooth, rich, not much bite. Caramel and chocolate but somehow not real sweet. Excellent with food as it doesn’t overwhelm. Really nice finish.
