5 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 20/20
A masterpiece! This beer has not been rated highly enough to date! The Erdinger line is as close as I have found to the beer on tap in Germany. This Dunkel is far better than any like it in North America.
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
500 ml bottle from the LCBO, best by date of 03/13
AROMA: Light wheat/malt aroma with a touch of clove.
APPEARANCE: High, light tan meringue-like head that sticks around. Dark, opaque body - you could mistake this for a Guinness if you weren’t looking closely.
TASTE: sweet with a hint of banana. Light spiciness.
PALATE: fairly lively carbonation which masks some flavour, creamy texture. Dry finish.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Good wheat beer. Slightly weaker than the brighter varieties. My wheat beer should preferably not be dark.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
AROMA: dough, nuts, toast, bread, bit metallic at first
APPEARANCE: brown, clear, frothy
TASTE: medium bitter, lightly sour,
PALATE: medium body, slick feel, lively, bitter,
OVERALL: ok dunkelweiss, but lacks depth of character and a bit too much on the malty side.
2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
As with the white this one also lacks the thick creamy flavor as other germans. Watery with some iron and resin. Bottle from Mitra in Roden.

3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Darker and less tastier than the lighter version, but still very drinkable.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle 0.5l. Dark brown color with white persistive head. Slight roast malt aroma and wild yeast. It has some sweetnees.
Carbonation is medium with a light body.
Overall this is good beer.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
500ml bottle best before 03/2007, drank 12/2006.
Poured into a Franziskaner Weissbier glass, it looked dark, heavy and tasty. Mahogany black with a two finger tanned foaming head, which slowly sank down to a thinner covering.
Aroma of wheat and yeast, neither very strong, even as the bier warmed up.
Thin, almost watery (for a weissbier,dunkel or otherwise), no depth
or feel to the taste, the mouthfeel, very poor really, not a great example of this style in my opinion.
I will not be rushing out and buying a crate of this, but if I ever see it on tap anywhere I will give it another try.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Nice easy drinking style. Had nice smooth dark malt flavours with hints of coffee. A round and smooth palate and good head retention.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
From the bottle poured a dark brown brew with a thick, rich head. aroma of roasty malt. Flavors fo malt and honey. Medium bodied and tasty.
