3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
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.

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.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
creamy. Easy drink but not one that distinguished itself. Some aroma there including cocoa. Bit of different flavours, including nuts but altogether on the thin mouthfeel side. Roast and also a tad burnt wheat. Malty more than anything.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Dark brown with a big beige head. Aroma is caramel, wheaty, banana and yeasty. Flavor is medium sweet. Soft and smooth with a sweet finish. 200210

UPDATED: NOV 20, 2004 Oily plantanes lie beneath heavy earthy malts and herbal tea leaves...Creamy cloves and strong roasty malt simplicity...Mundanity restrains it seems...

Bottle. Pours dark brown with a strong, creamy, off white head. Nose of lightly roasted and sweet dark malts. Pleasant flavor of sweet malts with some copper/metal and mild wheat. Medium in body and very smooth. Not bad.

A: The pour is a dark mahogany color with some red/amber notes and a fizzy off-white head.
S: The nose is quite yeasty with lots of spice esters (particularly clove). A fair amount of sweet dark fruits and a mild cola characteristic.
T: This starts off somewhat mild with trace amounts of banana and spicy esters. There are some notes of roasted malts and there’s a high level of (carbonic) acidity which does not appeal to me.
M: Very highly carbonated with a medium body. The carbonation and acidity from the carbonation that is present in the flavor gives this a bit of a soda water feel.
D: I found this one to be disappointing. I don’t know if the bottle was old or what, but the flavor was really not very good.

The label matches, bugt I have a few more Erdinger beers up my sleeve (and a few more German women, also). This one pours turbid burny umber with medium, uniform, off-white head. Aroma of hopcit, toffee, brown sugar, figs, sour mash poontang. Tastes roasty malty, with shades of caramel, almonds, figs, brown sugar. Medium to light palate, with a moderate complexity and balance. This one is a definite repeater, but not one that jumos out at me and demands a repeat buy.
2.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
500 mL bottle from the Barracks Road Teeter in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a hazy brown color with a medium head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma is nondescript and malty with very faint banana bread. Taste is toffeeish malts, banana, bread, slight spice. Medium bodied.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
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.
