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’.

I like this beer a lot. The aroma is malty and a bit fruity. It has a roasted malt flavor. Both the appearance and the palate are just great.

Very nice black color with a thick tan head. I would of liked to have seen better lacing (only flaw on the looks). Full of complex flavors like some coffee, sweet malt, carmel, smokey, and the soft bite of hops at the end with only one thing missing. I personally would of liked more coffee aftertaste. Overall, this is a well thought out beer that I’ll savour for a while. Good job Erdinger!

Pours with a fantastic large head of foam. Otherwise this is a refreshing dunkle weisse with a light malty flavour. Perhaps too light and thin on the palate.

Poured with a very nice creamy 1 in. head which quickly dissapated into a 1/8in. head. The aroma was a bubble gum candy aroma. The bubbles were relatibvely large but they were prominent and fluffy enough to really enojoy. The taste was a very pleasing sweet malty caramel like beer with a smooth aftertaste. there was no dominating extract that impinged on the flavor, rather it was quite smooth and drinkable. This beer may lack a little substance and depth but it makes up for that in taste. The character is moderate to small, but the appreciation for such a brew is large.

Beuatiful to look at. A dark walnut color with a huge bubbly head. Mild aroma & flavor which leaves you with a clean palate. Overall a good drinking beer.

6/20/03, bottle, Berlin. Gotta love those German wheats. This is a dunkel wheat, dark brown, cloud and completely opaque with a large tan foamy head. Rich malty aroma, nutty with hints of citrus, wheat and maple. Complex hoppy, wheaty, caramelly flavor - smooth and delicious. Medium to full body, lightly carbonated and refreshing.

nice brown color with a medium head. The taste combines malt and citrus flavors. Very nice and drinkable.
