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’.

500ml brown bottle. Poured deep choclate brown, very dense creamy tan head. Malty aroma, chocolate malts and faint fruits. Light body, smoothly carbonated with a bit of a wheaty dry finish.

Pours a somewhat cloudy brown color with a lot of head. The aroma is fairly complex, the flavor isn’t. It’s still pretty smooth. Easy to drink, but nothing very interesting here. Worth a try I guess...

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.

Pours a deep, dark brown with a huge head which collapses to a quarter-inch head with great retention and some lace. Slightly skunky lagerish aroma - light butter, light toastiness, and as it warms, a nice spiciness. Tastes surprisingly pleasant - I don’t normally like this style of beer. Sweet and buttery with a light molasses touch, but with a nice strong & smooth malt backbone. Light metallic taste to the hops, particularly in the finish. A bit undercarbonated, but a good creamy milkshake of a body. I don’t dislike this beer. Would go well with a steak.

Chocolate and bananas. Nice combination. The best I’ve had from this brewery. A little simple though.

This stuff is really pleasant; I could see this as a good all-night beer. Not very hoppy or bitter at all. Just smooth maltiness, cocoa, and cream all slightly roasted, though not as full as a porter. Overall not world class, but very good.

Dark red-brown pour with a very frothy light tan head. Aroma of wheat. A little sweet, nice wheat flavor. Lacing on the glass. A little roasted flavor in the background.
