| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 28, 2005 Pours deep brown with some reddy hues. Head is medium sized big bubbly foam lasting to create a little lacing. Nose is lightly toasted with yeast, wheat and a whiff of cocoa. Flavour is dull and the mouthfeel isn’t ample enough. Toasty, some peat and chocolate. Hops are lazy. Far better than the regular hefe-weiss, but nothing to either sneer or exhalt. steview (902), Los Angeles, California, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Aug 21, 2008 I really like the dunkel although it’s not my favorite. Tastes almost identical to the Weiss maybe a little bit more pronounced malt profile Vertical Bacon Strips (901), Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 8, 2009 Now that I’ve let this warm up, it’s getting better. Excellent hazy mahogany colour. Poured a stupidly huge tan head that should’ve been thicker if not for the dominant large bubbles trapped in the head. Decent retension with moderate spotty lacing. The aroma has come out better now and it’s got some complexity to it: thick malts, caramel, hearty bread and an acceptable level of yeast. I wish it was a touch more aromatic. Flavour is intereting with it’s tasty caramel malts, spice (cloves???) and if i didn’t read it somewhere, I never would’ve nailed this other tasted down as vanilla, but there it is. Dry mouthslapping yeast. More flavour than I’ve noticed in the past, but still mild. Medium bodied, quite smooth and appealing to the mouth with ample carbonation on the swish. Excellent mild bitter finish with a thought of dirt. I forgot to mention a fruitiness throughout, but the malts were more prominent. For the first time, I may actually willingly get more Erdinger strickly for the drinking experience. As I remember, this beer was always quite boring and dissapointing. Now I’ve discovered to let it get quite warm to be able to notice its subtle qualities. Boystout (900), Chisinau, Moldova
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 29, 2003 Brown color and nice thick head. Neutral, slightly farmaceutical aroma. Not much to discuss about flavors: some coffee and chocolate, no wheat at all. Not really interesting. illidurit (891), Santa Cruz, California, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 24, 2008 On tap at The Red in Santa Cruz. Pours an extremely dark brown, nearly opaque, with an off-white head of 1 finger.
Aroma is half banana phenol, half sweet, caky malt.
Taste is less malty than the aroma, almost indistinguishable from a regular hefeweizen. Not much clove character.
Palate is, as expected in a wheat beer, exquisitely smooth and drinkable.
