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’.

0.5l bottle. Caramel, wheat aroma. Feculent and many bubbles. Foam lasts long time. Taste like wheat mixed banana and fruity gum. Wheat beers not my taste but interesting dark wheat.

nilsas (162) - Bryne, NORWAY - JUN 17, 2013
Fin mørk brun farge, mye skum, en smak av mel og malt. Et godt og greit mørt øl som nok faller i smak hos de fleste.

Pours a dark caramel with a cream coloured head that lingers. Has a slightly bitter smell. Tastes slightly spicy. Not much else. Not bad.

Uma cerveja equilibrada e um tanto complexa. Forte e com um final adocicado característico.

fantti (464) - FINLAND - JUN 6, 2013
Kaatuu lasiin ruskeana ja hieman sameana, vaahto on todella runsas. Haju on siirappisen paahteinen, leipäisen maltainen ja hieman suklaatakin on joukossa. Kevyt maku on paahteisen leipäinen, raaka banaani maistuu myös lievän makeuden tukiessa pakettia. Suutuntuma on yllättävänkin kevyt, maltaisuus tuntuu kuitenkin jonkin verran. Makean hajuinen, mutta turhan laimean makuinen ja ohut tumma vehnä. Laadukkaasti tehty kuitenkin.

0,5 l bottle @ home. Hazy, brown colour, porous stable tan head, banana aroma, medium body, sour taste, oily roasted aftertaste. Not bad.

hman43 (46) - Pinehurst, North Carolina, USA - JUN 1, 2013
The aroma is rather weak and hard to pick up ingredients. Dark chestnut brown in color with an extremely frothy head. Not much flavor to it. It has an over carbonated taste to it.

For a wheat beer, has to be my favorite so far. I would definitely recommend to others
