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’.

Pretty nice. Super smooth. Light wheat and spice aromas with a similar taste. A bit of sweetness in the aftertaste which is a nice touch. It’s kind of perfect for the fall, light and tasty.

500. Pours a murky, nearly opaque ebony with a surging, sudsy tan head that falls quickly away to a one finger layer of lumps. Modest stringy lace. Brown bready nose, a bit of wheat sour/wheat husk happening. Almost a cola or root beer note happening there...not quite sweet enough for root beer, but reminiscent nevertheless. Watery medium body with soft carb. Wheat sour bouncing out everywhere you look--that mild sourness, shy of sourdough, that gives you that tang. The brewer claims worty spiciness, but it tastes more like a soda pop, that cola or root beer thing popping again. Mild finish. Not bad, certainly made solidly, but so completely restrained in most ways that it’s pretty forgettable.

In bottle; good solid dark wiessbier. Subtle banana, spice and chocolate notes. Compared this side by side to the Ayinger and enjoyed it over the Ayinger. Good choice

I really didn’t enjoy this beer all that much. The pour was a light dark color with an off white foam head. The flavors are subtle and bleak, so it’s not really worth it.

[500ml bottle at The Retreat, Reading] Dark brown with a large cream head. Moderate fizz. Chocolate at first, followed by liquorice with some spice behind (cloves?). A faint sour bitterness in the finish. It’s OK, but it’s a little watery and the flavours are somewhat muted.

A lovely dark hefeweizen. I didn’t get many of the banana and clove esters like from momst good hefeweizens. It really tastes like a less sweetened coke. Dry and bubbly.
