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’.

Poured a really foamy head and really dark looking. Hard to see if it was cloudy as its so dark but finally was able to see it. Nice toasty malt aroma. Light toasty taste reminiscent of well done toast. High carbonation feel on the palate but surprisingly light. Very drinkable and worthy of future purchases.

0.5L bottle, 5.6% a/v Pours a very dark brown colour with a generous light brown head. The head sticks around for awhile as well. Aroma is chocolate, roasted malt, spice and some fruit (I had a plugged up nose, so maybe im way off) Taste is chocolate, roasted malts, and some spice. There is also caramel and some molasses present. Somewhat thin on the mouth but not detractingly so. This is my first Dunkel, its not bad but i definetly prefer my weisse over it.

This isnt a bad beer really. Its just that it isnt what youd expect from an import. Smells quite pleasant to tell you the truth but doesnt smell like a beer. Pours black to me while others say brown. Foamy head that disappears quickly which is very disappointing. After the head goes it looks like Im drinking a Cola. The same could be said about the taste almost like Im drinking a Cola or a non-alcoholic carbonated soda. Not much mouth feel to it either.

0.5L bottle. Murky dark brown with some deep red streaks. mild roasty aroma with some yeast, some roasty aroma and some metalic notes, aftertaste is sour in an unpleastant way. Overall the beer feels diluted, very dissapointing.

On tap at the Loreeley a biergarten on Rivington St NYC. I enjoyed the weisen meets dark malt that poured an average head. Cloudy body released roasted grain taste. Body was medium and provided a moderate sweet and bitter combo.

Bottle. Labeled best before the end of 10-2007. Poured a dark brown color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of chocolate, roast, bananas, and I’m getting some dark fruits. Tastes of chocolate, roast, bananas, and a trace of caramel. Lively body.

500 ml bottle, best before 05-2008. Dark ruby brown colour with a mostly lasting fizzy and rocky tan head. Yeasty, chocolate, citrus, and metallic aroma. Yeasty, light chocolate, and bready flavours with a light banana and metallic finish. Medium bodied, smooth. Pretty simple and not all that flavourful.
