Erdinger Weissbier Dunkel

pours a beautiful cloudy coffee brown with a root beer float head. Aroma is simple sour with a hint of yeast. Simple flavor, bit of dark barley malt. textured.

Bottled @ Peckham’s Beer Festival. Dark brown colour, tan head. Aroma and flavour of caramel malts, yeast, fruits. Sweet finish.

Pours medium to light brown with off-white head. Nose is somewhat tame compared to other Hefe-Weizens I’ve sampled recently, whether dunkel or not. Palate offers a medium malty flavor with brown bread, light baking spices, and a faint suggestion of cookie dough. Finish is medium short with more cookie dough.

0,5 l fles. Lekker maar niet echt bijzonder. Misschien iets te warm gedronken.

Dark brown pour, tan/white head. Malt smell, but lakes the wheat smell of a hefe. Sweet malt flavor, hint of banana bread, but again lacks the qualities of a hefe. Good beer.

[Bottle] Pours a very dark and nearly opaque brown. Thick biege head that sadly didn’t last. Aroma was very mild, slightly roasted. Taste was very plain and disappointing. Slightly sweet and roasted malts, touch of coffee. Finish is clean with a little spice and the first notion of any alcohol. Palate is smooth and a little on the thin side. Overall, I was disappointed and expecting more since I enjoyed the Hefe so much.

I like this beer a lot. The aroma is malty and a bit fruity. It has a roasted malt flavor. Both the appearance and the palate are just great.

50cl bottle poured into a weizen glass. Beautiful brown color with an inch and a half of slow-dissipating frothy head. Very malty, fruity weizen aroma. Tastes a lot like the regular Erdinger but better. Hints of chocolate and nuts. Very smooth palate.
