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’.

Bottle: Poured a clear dark dunkel with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of light roasted malt with light caramel and light banana aftertaste. Taste is mostly dominated by some roasted malt with a light bitter finish and some light fruity notes also noticeable. Average body with good carbonation. OK but again a style that really doesn’t appeal to me that much.

Bottle into small plastic tasting cup, Humulus Lupus @ Jak’s Tap (Chicago). Didn’t smell like a weiss, rather malty. Creamy head and brown in the cup. Tasted like an oatmeal stout, but lighter: nicely sweet with a little bit of soft hops. Creamy and soft in the mouth. I liked it.

Re-rate: Gentle sweet toasty aroma with some spice and herbal notes. Poures quite dark with an off white head looking quite good. Toasty malty notes with a hint of wheat. Spicy fruity hops that give a nice clean palate to a brew that otherwise has a fair amount of carbonation.

Draft at BeerBistro. Dark brown body with a big creamy beige head and solid lacing. Mild malt aroma, with notes of light toasty caramel. Similar flavour of sweet caramel malt with dry toasty finish and aftertaste. (6+). More dunkel than weiss. Average palate. Pleasant but less Aventinus like than I had hoped.

08.16.05 500ml bottle dated 07-2005. Dark fudgie brown, clouded, under pillowy mound of tan foam. Aroma is dark pretzels, salted, with plum sauce and old leaves. There’s a subtle underlying spice that coats the air, but only in a way reminiscent of a kitchen the evening after baking. Flavors are bready, too, with a toasted crust flavor and mild salt. Underpinnings of banana, cocoa, and wine cork are nice touches. The finish is all mineral with some mint and chalk. Quite dry.

Had this in Croatia with cevape. It definetely wasn't strong enough to go with the meat and onions, but I enjoyed the somewhat chocolately flavors after I was done eating.

Weizens are a style of beer that looses flavor quickly after production. Mine had hints of what it might have been fresh. The maltiness and creamy body come through with just the right sweetness to let you know there was a real good weizen in this bottle just a little while ago. Worth a re-rate if I can find it fresh.

A nice beer, especially with food. A big head, typical dunkel. A very malty and a very noticable wheat flavour, found the finish to be tiny bit sour.. I dont like this nowadays as much as I did few years ago, but a really nice beer!
