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’.

My 250th rating...Stopped by a local German Rest. here in town. Poured from bottle. Had no idea there was such a thing as a dark hefe. I really enjoyed it. Poured a very dark brown with large head that lasted a while...taste was wheat and malts and a bit of spice. Very good compliment to the German food.

Hazy, dark brown with a huge head. The aroma has a discrete wheaty note and a light sourness and the flavour has notes of malt and a bit of wheat and caramel. It’s a bit too anonymous, but if you aren’t yet into wheat beers, it’s a nice place to start.

pours dark brown with fluffy, off-white head. roasted malts and some weak fruit flavours. dry finish, overall fairly unmemorable though.

Rated 7/3/06: Newly stocked item at a local store, picked up a single. Even with the glass tilted an enormous fluffy head sat atop a dark cola colored beer. After a few minutes the head settled and a nice looking glass of beer sat in front of me. Nice and aromatic sweet yeasty scents are easily detected. This one is definately different from the other hefe’ and dunkel-weizens where as it doesn’t seem to contain a large presence of banana and clove esters. Although unique it is still very appealing. Mouthfeel is better than average, very smooth but somewhat dry. Flavor is good and surprisingly mellow for this style. Seems balanced and the sweetness from the aroma carries through. Not the best I’ve sampled but well worth picking up.

light malt and spice aroma, albeit too light... good weizen but nothing outrageous

Pours dark brown, with red highlight. Medium tan head. Dark malty flavor, but not too dark. Medium carbonation. Got better as it warmed. Really enjoyed this one.

Pours a heavy brown with a thick head that takes its time disappearing. smell is yeasty and sweet like dried dark fruits. taste is mildly sweet and malty. rich and smooth with a long finish and crisp bittering hops. well carbonated.
