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’.

500 ml bottle, best before 05-2008. Dark ruby brown colour with a mostly lasting fizzy and rocky tan head. Yeasty, chocolate, citrus, and metallic aroma. Yeasty, light chocolate, and bready flavours with a light banana and metallic finish. Medium bodied, smooth. Pretty simple and not all that flavourful.

Hazy dark brown pour with a fluffy long lasting head. Aroma of fruit, yeast, roasted grain, chocolate and caramel malts. Nice fruity, roasty flavor as well. Nicely carbonated and smooth on the palate. Just a hint of spicy hops on the finish. A pretty good brew.

I actually own an Erdinger Weibbier glass, in which I used in consuming this Dunkle. This is another beer that’s best quality is unfortunately it’s initial appearance. This beer poured a beautiful crimson / black, with a soft pillow like head. Sadly to say the head dissipated quickly due to the beers lack of body. This could be a great dunkel if the palate was a bit creamer. But as it is, this brew is fairly watery. In the aroma and flavor the malt is most obvious, the wheat in the slightly bitter finish. Overall, this was an uneventful Dunkel, very much unlike my favorite, Julius Echter Dunkel.

Pours a cloudy dark brown with a fluffy, khaki head that falls to a thin skin and patchy lace. The nose is of sweet, round, dusty wheat and caramel malt notes with bubble gum and banana esters in support. Light to medium-bodied and wheaty with a moderately tinny and drying finish. Bock-like caramel and wheat malt with fruity yeast in support transitions to a dry, mildly tobacco-like finish. The mouthfeel is a bit of a detractor, but it’s a decent dunkelweizen.
