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’.

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.

A decent dunkel. Beautiful looking and smooth. Beautiful creamy head. Light on carbonation.

A Mes rate: Black and opaque with a large tan head that lasts well. Great looks all round. Standard mouthfeel, a little too much carb me-thinks. Heavy malt and yeasty flavour, not as creamy as it looks but ok. Much better than the white and I would have it again.

Bottle sampled with Beerded_one. Pours dark with a large tan head. Aroma of wheat, citrus, and alcohol. Flavor is sweet, citrus, sugar, slight hops in the finish coming through. good body. Ok brew.

bottle - Pours dark brown with a substantial head. The aroma is wheat and bananas. The malt rich flavor has banana notes and seems a little light/bland for the style. Medium bodied and lively on the palate, it finishes mildly sweet.

Cloudy brown color, lasting head. Aroma of malts and coffee. Bit watery taste, just as the hefeweizen. OK, but a little more complex taste would be nice.

I liked the other erdinger beers a little better but this is not bad. Rich tasting that leaves a nice smooth after taste

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!
