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 a deep brown body with nice head. Aroma is malt, chocolate. Taste is sweet malt, dried fruit, chocolate, light yeast. Smooth but the flavor was almost too light for me.

(500ml bottle) Purchased at Willows Park in Calgary. Pours a lasting, medium gray-beige head atop a deep copper-brown body. Nose of slight prunes, olives and mellow roasted malt. Flavour is surprisingly different from Aventinus - thinner, small ABV and a good chocolate malt base. Interesting but definitely inferior to the Schneider product.

pours black with an almost white big head...plenty of lacing as it settles... aroma of light malts .... watery mouthfeel....malt liquor finish with a soapy, pasty after taste .... drinkable but no WOW factor

A dark brown beer with hints of red in the pour and a small off-white head. The aroma is of malt and some fruitiness, maybe apple. the flavor is also malty with some burnt notes and roast barley hints like coffee and chocolate. A very dark wheat beer!

Botella. Comprada en supermercado. Bastante poco. No mucho aroma, no mucho sabor. algo de cuerpo, nada mas.

In direct contrast to the hefeweiss by this brewer - which I dont rate highly - this beer was much better. The dark colour hinted at the rich flavour to come, and the complex of fruit and maltiness made for a very pleasant beer, and a fine example of the dunkel style.
