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’.

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.

Dark ruby beer that fails to kick up much of a head, despite my vigorous pour - kind of bock-ish aroma, with strong caramel, chocolate, and raisin - very faint wheat in the background - soft, yet full in the mouth - light wheat tartness up front is squashed quickly by sweet caramel, fig, and chocolate that last through the middle - dries out a little late, and the wheat character becomes apparent again, adding just a tiny bit of tartness - a little metallic on the back end - more like a weizenbock than a dunkelweizen - not quite what I was in the mood for, but pretty tasty.

Milky brown with a medium light tan head. Aroma of light chocolate and wheat. Flavor of sweet & dark malts, wheat and nuts. Creamy texture. A bit different from the other dunkleweizens I had tried to this point – no banana or clove qualities. More like a Dunkel crossed with an American wheat beer.

When held up to a light this beer is a dark ruby. Personally I think it looks great, but the aroma and taste did not impress me as much. Not much to keep the palate entertained. Pretty straight forward all the way through. the sweetness is the only thing that works for me.
