emjay (30), Markham, Ontario, Canada Oct 30, 2006 Bottle. I was expecting something like Aventinus and I was a bit disappointed. Almost like a cross between a weissbier and a stout. beergut111 (210), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Oct 29, 2006 Poured a dark brown. Tastes of Malt, a bit sweet, coffee. it had some chracteristics of a stout with a wheaty tang. IrishBoy (2685), Bakersfield, California, USA Oct 28, 2006 Bottle; nose of caramel malt with some banana; hazy brown with a medium off-white head; flavor of malts iwth a little fruity sweetness. beedman (53), Cocoa Beach, Florida, USA Oct 26, 2006 1 Pint, 9 fl.oz bottle. Pours a dark couldy amber with plenty of thick white foam. Aroma is fruity with definate banana esters. Has a pleasant wheaty flavour, somewhat like a wheat biscuit, with no hop bitterness. davegore (200), liverpool, Merseyside, England Oct 26, 2006 bottle from an indy beer seller, poured a dark dark golden brown with a big head, very lively in the glass. fine aroma of malt which leads to a full mouthful of chocolate malt and fruit cake, sweetness of agood imperial stout. long finish, more sweetness at the end but no bitterness and very smooth cheapdark (2011), Monacatootha, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 14, 2006 Updated: Jul 11, 2008Very neat aroma of bread fresh baked, cooled then busted open. Initial flavor is very smooth, one of the most enjoyable beers I have tasted. Very tasty with no bitter hops. No offensive finish what so ever. Much better than any of the highly touted bitter beers I see on this website. I’ll never taste another imperial stout or IPA again. Thanks erdinger. Note: My bottle did not say ’dunkle’ on it, it said ’hefe-weizen dark’ 5.5% but everybody assures me this is the same beer. JorisPPattyn (5155), Antwerpen, Belgium Oct 10, 2006 Stupendously huge head, near gushing, light-greige in colour, over mahogany to ebony beer. Soft sweet nose with coffee and coloured malts, horse fodder, malt- or café noir cookies, speculoos, sweet leaf vegetable as misuna. Licorice flavour; faintly bready, quite sweet but not as typically confectionary like most Bocks. Maybe a bit of banana, overripe, but remarkably restrained on fruitiness; cloves or other spices all but absent. Rather light bodied, no burning in the MF - and no acidity neither. A tad too sweet to my liking, but not as stereotypic as most of its brethren. Not something to go hunting for, but if you come across it, don’t waste the opportunity. D (537), Poland Oct 8, 2006 Bubbly head, dark brown colour. Caramel and roasted coffee aroma, slightly acidic. Drinks very well, very slight bitterness in finish.
