COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bottle conditioned.
Ingredients: Water; wheat malt; barley malt; roasted malt; hops; yeast.
Name changed from Erdinger Weissbier Dunkel to Erdinger Dunkel, and abv changed from 5.6% to 5.3% by 2012.
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 5.3%, it doesn’t contain much more alcohol than Erdinger Weissbier ’with fine yeast’.

bierkoning (8944) - La Tropica, NETHERLANDS - MAY 19, 2002

Roasted malt in the aroma. Fruity taste (mango, banana), yeasty and just a hint of roasted malt. Relatively thin.

This is definately a good beer. I sometimes have trouble finding it, but always enjoy it when I do.

Caton (160) - Sydney, AUSTRALIA - MAY 11, 2002

Nice easy drinking style. Had nice smooth dark malt flavours with hints of coffee. A round and smooth palate and good head retention.

duff (5484) - Lund, SWEDEN - MAY 7, 2002

Re-rate: deep brown appearance with a bubbly head. Kind of reminded me of wheat beer version of Tooheys Old in the end, smooth, some dark malts, drinkable, light, a bit watery, but quite nice, my favourite of the Erdinger beers. Although i haven’t had the ’Champ’ yet.

A little light but nice malty undertones. It was ok

Nuffield (3347) - Roseville, Minnesota, USA - APR 21, 2002

lovely dark color--I realize now the big head on this was not because it had been in my car after a drive. Bitterness and alcohol in the aroma, taste of caramel, perhaps molasses, sweet. Nice flavor, very enjoyable (esp. with food).

rauchbier (3394) - Isle Of Beer, Lincolnshire, ENGLAND - APR 19, 2002

UPDATED: MAY 23, 2009 Bottle, from Asda Grimsby. Deep brown, lasting white head and moderate condition. Gentle roasted malt, slight smokiness and gentle banana fruitiness in the nose, soft and muted in the mouth with hints of burnt malt and low suggestion of fruitiness, blandfinish with low toasted malt

leaparsons (7069) - Leicester, Leicestershire, ENGLAND - APR 18, 2002

Pours with a fantastic large head of foam. Otherwise this is a refreshing dunkle weisse with a light malty flavour. Perhaps too light and thin on the palate.

TChrome (1388) - Bedford, Texas, USA - MAR 24, 2002

Not an incredibly complex brew, however, the dominant flavor here is quite good. Monstrous head that diminishes. Extremely attractive in the glass, although cloudy. Feels very good in the mouth. Definitely repeatable.
