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’.

Bottle poured into my trusty stein- poured dark brown, nice off tan head formed and stayed around to play cards with me, medium-light carbonation. Aroma of burnt wheat with notes of banana and clove- a little odd with the burnt wheat for me. Hits the mouth with a high-thin body, malt comes through cleanly and has a creaminess to it, very slight sugar note on the finish. Another one for my sessioner class of brews...

Aroma is caramel and alcohol. Color is a near solid hazy amber with good carbonation and a tight off white head. Taste is fizzy and roasted. Starting with a light/medium body it goes down with a foamy feel. Finish is a mildly roasted caramel taste backed by a easy bitterness. In the after taste there is an alcohol feel and a slight sourness. Not bad, but for some reason the alcohol is prevalent yet the content is not that high. I noticed this in the Kristallweizen also, but not in the Pikantus that has ABV. of 7.3%.

Szép sötét barna színű és tömör habú ital.Illata picit édeskésebb mint a testvéreké.A barna sörökre jellemző pörkölt maláta íze van és kevéssé érezni benne hogy búzáról van szó.Nem rossz de annyit nem ér emennyit nálunk kérnek érte.

Attractive looking beer, with nice thick off-white head. Bready aroma with very little noble hop coming through. A little "mouth-thin" for my liking given the sweet malt on your palate...was looking for a little more body to go with the sweetness. However, still an enjoyable glass and would gladly sup a few more!
