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. Pours a huge pale tan rocky head with an extremely tight bead. Like a moca shake. Deep brown and surprisingly clear for a hefe Weizen. Light bready nose with just a hint of banana phenol. Very low chocolate, hardly there, I was looking for more along with a more pronounced banana bread palate. Borderline sweet. Nice easy drinking beer that was a hit with my novice beer drinking friends but lacking phenol-ester and chocolate and/ or toasted malt complexity that are hallmarks of the style. So mild this could almost pass as an Alt

(06.17.06) On Tap at Firkin, Libertyville, IL. Poured black opague with giant off-white head. No discernable carbonation. Sweet malt and hop aroma. Medium bodied beer that starts dry with caramel flavor. Finished dry with light malt fade. Although watery and thin, this is a decent beer that went well with a chicken quesadilla.

Bottle picked up at Morrissons, Aylesbury 8th August 2006, and drank this in a field at Cropredy, Fairport Conventions Cropredy Festival Thursday 10th August. This was another of my beers that I had to drink straight from the bottle having forgotten to take a glass into the field. It looked very dark in the bottle, and I could detect a nice malty rich and roasty aroma, there was some nice maltiness in the taste along with a bit ofn yeast as well, even a bit of fruit there. Pretty good beer all things considered.

Bottled. Pours a clear dark brown with a slightly lacy tan head. The aroma is light, with a bit of cloves and roasty malt. The body is light, with medium fine carbonation. The taste is subtle for a dark beer, with a bit of spice, fruit, and just a hint of coffee. This is the "lightest" dark beer I’ve sampled so far.

Bottled. Dark brown with a huge off-white head. Weak aroma and flavour. Malt dominated aroma, but no real hint of the wheat malt. Well balanced hop finish.

Gigantic bubbly tan-colored head that leaves foam on the glass and finally settles into a thick layer of microscopic bubbles. A cascade of bubbles rose up in a steady stream from the bottom of the glass. Aroma is predominantly wheat, but is balanced with sweet, malty and slightly hoppy elements. Wheat, malt, yeast, and spices are the main components of the flavor, with hints of hops and fruit.

[bottle] Pours a nice maroon color, with a solid off white head. Aroma is mostly yeast and some malty sweetness. Flavors roasty, caramel malts, and a touch of dark fruits. Finish is wheaty, with some banana and coffee in the end.
