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’.

Smells very herbal. Earthy if you will... Appearance is amazing. I was very impressed with the appearance, first look it is a rich dark almost like coffee, but put it to the light and it illuminates a vibrant red hue. Flavor on this one is much like coffee. full flavor but not so much for the palate. You cannot taste the hops or the alcohol, and there is not so much as a hint of sweetness. Personally i truly like this one. Nothing exemplary about it but it is a superb session beer. A lot of low ratings on here but this one is worth trying if you already haven’t.

Very foamy slightly brown top. The colour is almost pitch black. I didn’t catch much of an aroma, but it tastes like you would expect a dunkel to taste. Full, malty and wheaty.

500ml bottle from Tacoma Boys Market. Huge head on the pour, but dissipated rather quickly. Enticing aromas of bread, clove, and maple/caramel. Not overly sweet or hoppy, this is a perfect example of the style, and I love this style. No, it’s not done often enough in my opinion. If it’s going to be ’hefe’, make mine a dunkel.

Pours a dark hazy brown color. Aromas of bread, malt, and some fruit. Flavor has a touch of sweet malt and clove, I think. Overall, not to bad.

Pours drk brown with practically no head (I mean balls) for a wheat beer. Smells like pale wheat malt. Tastes like balnd medium wheat malt. Very fizzy mouthfeel, Fizzy wheat finish. Too watery and plain for my wel refined taste.

Pour is a dark brown with a large tan head. Aroma is of caramel malts and a coffee but everything is very slight. Flavor is creamy with some dark fruit and a roasted after taste. Nothing complex here and pretty standard.
