Erdinger Weissbier Dunkel

Dark murky color, similar to coffee. Lots of head. Hint of coffee, lots of chocolate flavor, hint of rootbeer.

Bottle. Murky chestnut brown color with thick head. Aromas of raisins, dark fruits, pepper, bread and some sweetness. Heavily carbonated, lightly astringent palate. Bready flavor with raisins, plums and vinous fruits. Dark fruits and peppery spiciness in the finish. A bit unpleasant dark malt character.

This is made to offend no-one, so everything is smooth. High head and sark color leads you to expect more than it delivers. Still, far better than most lagers it competes woth. A nice little burned finish.

Pours dark with a huge creamy head and has that unmistakable banana/clovey aroma, but it fails to deliver in the flavour i was expecting more.

500 ml bottle. Deep dark brown colour, very hapy with a thick off-white head. Very fine and persistent head. Sweet toasted nut aroma. Nice rich caramel and dark chocolatey notes as well. Evidence of decoctions in the nose. Light bubble gum and apricot. A bit cardboardy flavour though. Yeast is quite muted and subtle, with little evidence of banana or clove. Soft texture. Very wheaty and bready. Okay, but not great.

Thick beige head on a very dark body. Had it with strong, pungent food and it fit perfectly. Otherwise, nothing exceptional apart from the usual caramel, a bit sweet.

Bottle from Asda, weizen glass.. I’m pretty sure I’ve had this before but never got round to rating it. Pours a murky brown. Bland aroma, a bit of toffee and not much else. Flavour is mostly sweet with a bit of sweet malt, caramel and ends up tasting rather watery and muddled. Pretty boring.

Bottle. Dark brown colour with a beige head.Weak flavour of caramel and some hops
