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’.

Deep dark beauty with a giant head. Anise and whisky notes. No banana aroma that I'm used to with wheat beers, but the spices and breadiness were there along with a bit of hops. Drink one of these and then drink one on steroids (Ramstein Winter Wheat).

Taste like a watery Aventinus. This is a beer that I could drink regularly...if I diodn't have access to the aforementioned Superbrew.

This is a decent Dunkelweizen. Malty, and some wheat flavors. Finishes clean, crisp, and dry. Very Drinkable.

Dark ruby beer that fails to kick up much of a head, despite my vigorous pour - kind of bock-ish aroma, with strong caramel, chocolate, and raisin - very faint wheat in the background - soft, yet full in the mouth - light wheat tartness up front is squashed quickly by sweet caramel, fig, and chocolate that last through the middle - dries out a little late, and the wheat character becomes apparent again, adding just a tiny bit of tartness - a little metallic on the back end - more like a weizenbock than a dunkelweizen - not quite what I was in the mood for, but pretty tasty.

A good example of a dunkel-weizen. Has some nice roasted flavors of a dunkel along with the fruity and banana like notes of a lighter hefeweizen. Nice dark brown color. Easy to drink, but still has nice all-around flavor.

The first beer of my 21st birthday, which is my 253rd brew. So now I can get my hands on so much more. As for the important part: Good malty nose here. Better dark color witha good sizable head. Palate is well defined at the get go, and stays good and crisp throughout. Flavor is also mighty pleasing. Somewhat roasted end to the malt and a bit bitter sweet.

Dark muddy brown with a fizzy off-white head and virtually no lacing. The nose is complex and warming with notes of iron, alcohol, roasted malt, and licorice. The body is a tad thin but is malty and a little sweet. Short, clean finish.

Banana, cloves, and wheat in the aroma. Dark, cloudy brown with a large white head. Looks like I’m drinking water from the Mississippi. Flavor of gentle wheat and a very nice malt taste. The malt is similar in aroma and flavor to an abt. Somewhat sweet.
