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’.

This one looks and smells like a big dunkel. Poured a lush cloudy mahogany red with a big frothy off-white meringue cap. Light but steady effervescence. Aromas of dried fruits currants, prunes mingle with cinnamon and cloves....wonderful nose on this beer. Starts bold with a wack of sweet toasty malt then builds to a creamy mouth feel punctuated with subtle banana, spices and other ester tastes as malts and yeasts mingle on the tongue. Then the finish is fairly clean for such a dark beer.....wet with little more than a sweet malt after taste. This is a good import beer and a very drinkable representastion of the dunkelweizen style . I like it and will always have a bottle or two around.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Dark brown colour with a tan, long lasting head. Aroma is light cloves and bananas, same for the taste, also lightly malty. Very foamy and smooth, nice mouthfeel. It’s not my favourite Dunkelweizen, but it’s pretty good and goes down well.

Dark brown with reddish hues and thick tan head that quickly recedes. Spicy aroma of dark bread, with a hint of banana. Taste is rich and chewy, and starts quite malty, and surprisingly bitter for a weizen. Starts moderately bitter, slightly sweet, and moderately acidic. Dense carbonation with a slightly heavy mouthfeel. Well balanced, but a bit too mellow to be an excellent example of the style.

This was much tastier to me then the plain ole Erdinger Weissbier. It had a much fuller body and I really enjoyed the caramel/malty taste.

(bottle) pours a dark murky ruby-brown colour with a creamy light brown head. subtle aroma of herbal hops, bubble gum, peanuts, roasted malts and wheat. flavour is chocolate, roasted malts and bubble gum, with caramel in abundance, perfectly balanced. meidum body with fizzy carbonation and a semi-dry wheaty finish.

Highly refreshing drink. Erdinger just keeps getting the carbonation right when it’s not a bottle. A nice dark wheat beer with a "come hitheto" aroma. Fine balance of wheat malt, lop hop, banana, clove, woody and vanilla flavours. Slight bitterness on account of the roast. In return, there is a nutty complexion. However, easy on the palate. Light to medium body. Fantastic with grilled meats and rich food. Value for money. Opt for draught/tap whenever and wherever possible.

500mL Bottle @ Metro. 5.6%. Pour is a dark brown with a fairly frothy beige head (aggressive pour?) with little retention. Aroma is very malty, with wheat and hoppy aromas faintly present. Taste is smooth, malty, and very thick. Really pleasant finish, I can’t wait to order it again.
