Erdinger Weissbier Dunkel

Brewed by Erdinger Weissbräu
Style: Dunkelweizen
Erding, Germany

Very big tan head, cloudy dark brown colour. The aroma is very clean, malts and hops and roasted malts too. Flavour is roasted a bit acidic and hoppier than most german weisses. Mouthfeel is crisp with medium bubbles. To me this was a very good weissbier, not exceptional like weihenstephaner, but still very good.

bottle, dark near-black with creamy head. it’s a little bit watery but it’s quite drinkable.

I think i drink it, but it has brown label. (The shop where i bought this also selling the black-label one.) It is very sensitive to pouring down, so if you don"t pay attention, a huge foam will be in your glass. A beige head that is creamy awhile, then it change to fizzy. It has an intensive aroma with yeast and some citrus and alcohol. Then the alcohol in the flavour is diminishing yet and light bitterness take over. With smooth carbonation it is very drinkable, because the muddy brown body is not so full that would be expected from a german dunkel. Strange, but the "wheatiness" of this beer come forward only 10 minutes after (not years).

Bottled from Aachen. Perfect looks, Very dark, hazy, with thick foamy head and voluptuous lacing. Very nicely composed beer merging the Dunkels and Weizens. mix of sweet and sour with soft bitterness. Nice!

Dark fruit and cola spices. Dark brown with orange hues, big tan fluffy head. Clovey syrup with mild perpper, moderate and appropriate bitter balance. Big carbonation, medium body, mild spicy finish. Pretty solid beer, very restrained flavors, but it all works.

50cl bottle. Pours a dark-brown colour with big fizzy off-white head. Medium lacing and average lasting foam. Aroma is malty, with some hops and candies too. Flavor is spicy with roasted and sweetness. Medium bodied and medium carbonation.

Bottle. Muddy brown in colour, big head with brownish tinge. Caramel/toasty malt aroma with some spice and bubblegum. Tastes malty, slightly bready, spicy and some hints of banana. An enjoyable beer.
