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’.

I can’t believe I haven’t rated this yet. I used to drink this when I lived in NC 11 yrs ago. I didn’t have it again until last week. Nice rich malty dunkel with a respectable dry finish. Not too sweet like many other dark lagers.

Dark brown, oily-looking beer; frothy, dark tan-colored head. Aroma of bitter chocolate and nice welcoming malt with hints of piney hop. Smooth drinking, light to medium bodied with a slightly sweet finish amidst mild toastiness.

Bottle. Pours an opaque brown colour. Some roasted malts and liquorice on the nose - but to thin! Flavour is caramel with some sweetness. Some roasted notes. I don’t know...I’m not that impressed.

One of the best dunkel weisse beers I’ve ever had. Tried it the first time on tap in Stuutgart, Germany. NIce creamy texture, full head, great dessert beer. Try it with a slice of German chocolate cake.

Bottled, 500ml. Dark brown to copper with cream head. Not the heavy flavours that I would expect from this type of beer, some spicyness, banana from the wheat but a slightly dull, dark malt body reduces the experience. A smidgeon of hops in the close, again not enought to raise it to a great beer, but it was ok.

Bouteille de 500 ml achetée chez ANBL (Dieppe, N-B). Arôme: Odeur de malt avec une pointe fruitée. Apparence: La couleur est brune opaque. Présence d’un moyen col mousseux et d’une large dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût de malt caramélisé avec une pointe chocolatée. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture légèrement huileuse. Faible effervescence en bouche. Légère présence de raisins en arrière goût. (Rating #1478)

Tasting notes from last year. Bottle. Mild roasty nose with standard banana and cloves. Dark but not black pour with rocky head that sticks around. Flavor is banana,some caramel, and a bit of lager funk. Pretty light body considering and easy to drink, but not terribly exciting.

Tasted 2008-02-14. Fresh bottle. Pours unclear cola colured with beige head. Aroma: Banana, cloves, caramel. Boring. Flavours: Slightly metallic, otherwise same as aroma. The metal fades, but the beer keeps being boring.
