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’.

A reasonably good Dunkel, I was a tad disappointed in the head which initially lasted well, but after my first mouthful fizzled away to nowt but a single-bubble thick covering, nice dark colour tho’ Slightly spicy palate with more than a hint of clean acidity on the finish, a refreshing beer. I’m not a great fan of the standard Erdinger, which I find a bit bland, and although I found this to be a bit better, you can get MUCH better for around the same amount of cash...this was from Asda,Carlisle and was about £1.70-80.

This beer sports a huge off white head. Rather dark brown body. Fruity aroma. Taste has some roasty flavors along with the standard weizen flavors like banana and spice. Sort of malty actually as well. A little too much carbonation for my liking.

"ALE" written on the side of label. Can anyone explain to me why some beers have that? Is it a requirement for imported beers, maybe? Taste is something like a soft lemon sugar pastry you buy at a bakery. Aroma is at times like the Dr. Pepper I used to get straight from the soda tap at Burger King. Yum. Kinda cloudy. All that allusion aside, decent, but unexceptional.

Dark. Burnt and malty. Quite light and easy to drink. Watery... There might be some coffee, wood tone to it. Also of course some yeast tone. I lke the brighter ones better.

Soul Cafe, Budapest. Very dark brown colour with a large off white creamyish head. Looked the part. Aroma was brown sugar, malt and some dark fruit. Flavour was pretty malty with some sweetness. Balance was ok. Not bad, just not earth shattering. Probably the best beer of the trip, which isn’t saying much.

500 ml. bottle. Pours a thick, even overly bountiful head of long duration, with minimal lacing, over a cloudy dark brown (SRM 20) body...nose is of bread, slight yeast, mild spice, clove, allspice, bit of citrus.....tastes initially of neutral malts, then mild spice finish, mild sweetness throughout....mouth feel is light and somewhat watery. A much lighter beer in terms of nose and taste than I expected.
