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, Dark pour with beige head 1 finger thick. Spicey/citursy aroma. Candy sugar and bitter fruit flavor. It was just okay for me.

Bottle. Pours dark brown. Notes of dark fruits and banana in aroma. Flavour is clove, banana and some roast. Good mouthfeel.

Cola brown pour. Active carbonation, more than 3 parts. Pretty much banana juice, with a touch of breadyness.

Bottle, Cape Of Good Hope, Oxford. Brown, light tan head. Rustic dark bread aroma, chocolate, gentle banana and clove. Gentle spritzy carbonation that blends pleasantly with chocolate roast. A nice citrus quality. Touch of spice. First few sips seem a bit on the thin side, but it seems to fill in as the glass progresses.

Dark musty malt aroma. Cloudy amber color with a small off white head. Tangy malt start that finishes with not a lot of flavor. Tanginess comes back late in the finish. Mildish palate.

Pours a dark drown to almost black color. Much darker then typical dark wheat German beers. The smell is malty with hints of chocoalte. Traces of what I describe as soapy or almost chalk qualites. The smell was a little tame overall. The taste is more prominant. Reflections of coco and dark liquorish are noticeable. I also picked up on some nutmeg flavors which gives it a slight breadiness quality to it. The body was light and slightly water down and is a deterrent to the beer.

On tap at The Red in Santa Cruz. Pours an extremely dark brown, nearly opaque, with an off-white head of 1 finger. Aroma is half banana phenol, half sweet, caky malt. Taste is less malty than the aroma, almost indistinguishable from a regular hefeweizen. Not much clove character. Palate is, as expected in a wheat beer, exquisitely smooth and drinkable.

Bottle. A lovely dark pour and with a big white head. Plenty of wheat in the aroma. However the taste is bit of a let down no real flavours hit you.
