COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Lovers of strong beer need not worry that ERDINGER Weissbier Pikantus 'dark bock beer' is going to be too sweet, as is the case with so many bock beers. Despite the higher alcohol content, the Erding brew masters have succeeded in retaining the special Pikantus taste.

Source:500 mL bottle from Liquor Barn.
Glass:Pilsener Urquell glass.
Appearance:To describe this beer as muddy looking doesn’t do mud very much justice. This is the ruddiest looking brown color I’ve ever seen...I LIKE IT.
Aroma:Dark fruits, cloves and some earthy hops dominate the nose.
Flavor:Flavor is a little mellow. Some dark fruits, caramel and chocolate are all present, but in muted amounts.
Palate:Medium bodied with solid carbonation.
Overall:Very good beer, but it doesn’t quite hang with Aventinus and the likes in depth of flavor, and overall amount of flavor. Still, very well done.

Complex, strong, full body. A little biterness at the taste, witch balances at the end.

Deep dark molasses colored brew.Medium sized tan head that fades almost immediately. Nice Malty aroma. Tastes relatively thin compared to how it looks. Good flavor though.Nice malty overtones with a chocolatey finish. Pretty good beer.

BitchPls (237) - FINLAND - APR 5, 2013
Dark, cola brown beer with a very big beige head. Leaves yeast on the bottom of the glass. Malty, sweet, banana on the nose. A hint of roastiness too. A bit of a belgian ale type of mouth feel. Slightly sour. Not too much of sweetness in the aroma compared to the nose. Quite a lot of crispiness from the carbonation. Body is a bit on the watery side. Not a very complex range of flavors. Very steady quality.

blankboy (5140) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - MAR 22, 2013
Bottle [500ml]. Pours a murky amber-brown with a huge lasting frothy beige head. Lacing on the glass. Aroma of sweet bready malt, dark fruit, some spices and yeast. Flavour is malty along with some dark fruit, light spices, some light sugariness and yeast. Average to medium bodied. Not a style I love but it’s well done.

bottle. Dark brown colour, huge pillowy head. Aroma of banana, yeast, flowers, bread. Taste is sugary and banana but not overbearing. Nice beer.
