Erdinger Weissbier Dunkel

Brewed by Erdinger Weissbräu
Style: Dunkelweizen
Erding, Germany

Tarnished bruised brown with amber edging. Sits almost black in most light. Emensely tall, billowing sandy colored foam grows up quickly from the pour. Gets a little too big too quick, yet it’s impressive. Takes a long time to dwindle, if it all, to one solid capping of whipped froth with a light bumpyness to its surface. Strangely laced in long skinny patches. Aroma of dry wheat and cocoa. Slightly woodish and/or dried leaves or husks and a touch of vanilla bean skins. Taste is mild, crisp, and dryish with a dark bread crust backing, a brief standing wheaty sweetness slips across its nature. Dried wheat husk, straw, and cocoa keeps some nice additions to the flavors. Not bad, was looking for a bit more out if it but what there is quite relaxing and pleasant once a few sips have set in. Feel is medium bodied and fairly set with a stern, bold give and take in its carbobation. A touch frothy and tenderly sweet with a nice drying effect throughout its character. A pretty soild Dunkel. A bit on the tame side; non banana-like but worthy with its bold body and dryness of husks and cocoa. Easily sessionable.

Dark brown / red with a big tan head. Aroma of malty banana with faint coffee notes. Feel is a bit above medium. This is more malt centered than wheat but there is some wheat flavor with yeast and clove. Nice tongue tickling hops. Caramel flavor dominated late. Not at all complex but still delightful.

pours with lotsa rocky beige head chestnut brown, good sweet dark malt nose, kinda musty. kinda thin mouth feel roasted flavor some choc a very small amount of maybe a bit of coffee, some dried fruits

Dark with a tan head. Nice banana like smell. Smells good. Goes down very smooth. Aroma also has caramel tones.

Dark brown clouded liquid. The nose is fruity with hints of tobacco, chocolate and molasses. The body is solid with a malty front - hints of molasses and brown sugar. It quickly thins and fades. Just a touch sweet, but not a bad dunkelweizen.

Nice looking hazy brown color with a full tan head. Aroma of some sweet, caramelly malt and some banana. Similar flavor, lively carbonation. Not bad but there are definitely better dunkelweizens out there.

Dark brown cloudy body with a nice big head. Really nice appearance, love those dark weizens. Aromas is malty, wtih hints of banana. Rich flavor of malt and some toffee, not much taste in this one. Very ordinary.

50cl bottle from systembolaget. Dark, murky brown with a nice sudsy and thick light tan head. Aroma is very light with a slight wheat/grain and yeast. medium body and higher carbonation. Tastes like bananas, toffee and cloves. Light subdued bitterness. has that sweet hefe taste. Pretty good, but nothing special. Probably couldnt drink more than one of these in a night.
