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. Dark brown beer with a cocoa head. Caramel and yeasty aroma. Rich caramel malt/toffee flavor with a yeast bite and some wheat flavor.

Nose of mainly wheats and some banana. Quite weak. Cloudy, brown coloured with a lasting, thin, off-white head. Taste is sweet, wheaty, some banana in it, slightly smoked (which is a nice addition). Body is a bit too thin. Overal an okay, refreshing dunkelweizen .

Malty aroma, dark brown, red at the edges, pours a short lived tan head. Flavour has malt, some hops. Light bodied, sweet. Fair. If I sampled this blindfolded, I wouldn’t guess it was a Dunkelweisse, seemed like an ESB, making this long anticipated beer disappointing.

500ml bottle served in a long tall World Cup glass at Blå Rock Cafe in Tromsø while watching Start vs TIL. Very nice appearance. Hazy dark brown. Sweet malts in a rather hard-to-pick-aroma. Flavour of dark fruit with light notes of yeast. Medium palate, but far from powerful.

Pours dark ebony with a soft beige head. Creamy on the palate, not very dry, with a light roastiness, mild clove banana and smooth wheat and molasses finish. This really didn’t go over the top with yeast esters, which made this a much more mellow beer, while not as thirst quenching as the really dry and crisp dunkelweizens this is more of a smooth and creamy brew.

Pours with a mongo head that really lasts and looks beautiful (see the photo). Having been burned by other Erdingers (which I thought were outdone by Ayinger and Hacker), I wasn’t expecting the moon with this one. And I didn’t get it. It’s a little lacking in the wheaty characteristics I’d have hoped for. Like most dunkels, it has a bit more malt than a hefe, but it’s not as roasty/malty as I would have thought. Serviceable, but not inspired.

Brown with a big beige head. Bubblegum and caramel aroma. Sweet caramel and malt flavours, banana, bubblegum in the short finish. Medium to light body, quite fizzy. Quite a nice thirst quencher.

Bouteille de 500 ml achetée chez ANBL (Dieppe, N-B). Arôme: Odeur de malt avec une pointe fruitée. Apparence: La couleur est brune opaque. Présence d’un moyen col mousseux et d’une large dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût de malt caramélisé avec une pointe chocolatée. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture légèrement huileuse. Faible effervescence en bouche. Légère présence de raisins en arrière goût. (Rating #1478)
