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.

I have had this many times over the years. A favorite in a pub overlooking the dom in Bamberg, germany. Nice dark appearance with a roasty chocolate taste. Love the bock beer taste.

Fatehunter (793) - Corbett, Oregon, USA - JUN 11, 2013
Poured a big tan head on a cloudy brown body. The aroma was all barnyard and hay. Wonderful. The taste was semi-sweet malt but mellowed nicely by a mild bitterness. The texture was fairly crisp but with a good softness to it with low carbonation. Overall, a wonderful beer.

Botella de medio litro, comprada en El Cervecero, las Rozas. Color marrón oscuro, casi opaco, con espuma beige poco duradera. El aroma es dulce y algo frutal, con malta, ciruelas e higos a la cabeza, pero también marcadamente especiado. En el trago se notan un cuerpo denso y la fuerte carbonatación, la cual llega a tapar un poco el sabor. Éste viene marcado por cereales y las citadas especias, mayoritariamente dulce y con un amargor muy puntual. Apenas se nota el alcohol. Como tantas otras, se toma mejor templada. La temperatura armoniza el dulce y propicia la aparición de un curioso aroma algo agrio, proveniente de la levadura. Si bien esperaba algo distinto de esta dunkel, me ha resultado muy placentera y equilibrada, una de las mejores ofrecidas por Erdinger.

Head: beige, big, creamy, avg. retention. Colour: chestnut, cloudy. Aroma: prunes, boiled corn, sweet-alcoholic. Taste: mostly sweet, dried fruit, roasted, slightly spicy, light alcohol. The boiled vegetable/corn aroma was not expected. Might have had a bad sample.

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