Erdinger Weissbier Dunkel

Bottle conditioned.

Ingredients: Water; wheat malt; barley malt; roasted malt; hops; yeast.

Erdinger Weissbier Dunkel 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.

3.4 One of those beers I'd mistakenly thought I'd rated ruby brown decent head simple with the wheat a praline chocolate notes

3.6 0,5 L bottle served in a weizen glass. Poured dark Brown with three finger tan head. Aroma: caramel, Chocolate, vanilla, wheat, coriander, malts. Taste: wheat, coriander, caramel, plums, Chocolate, vanilla. Not bad...

3.2 Very bready toasted malts. Thick with a little sharp carbonation. A fading bitterness over a middlingly sweetness. Nothing complicated here, but not bad.

3.8 500ml bottle poured, 5.3% abv. Deep brown hazy beer with big, foamy, beige head. Malty, sweet aroma with fruity and roasted notes. Nice and balanced flavour of dark bread, dates, roast coffee. Sweet with bitter finish. Pretty good

5.0 Kaffefarget søt, hvete og kneipskorpe

2.8 Light sweet aroma of dark chocolate, walnuts, toasts & coffee. Black with a light brown head. Medium sweet & light sour taste. Medium body, oily texture & soft carbonation.

3.3 Pours chocolate dark brown. Noble hop and light roast nose, similar flavour. Light but very drinkable.

3.3 500 ml bottle from a local hawker centre. Pours a brown with a fair bit of white head in a hefeweizen glass; aroma of slight roasted malts and very slight noble hops; taste of slight roasted malts, chocolate. High carbonation is just right for a hefeweizen. Well balanced but not much taste to be fair. Definitely a beer for session drinking

3.4 Can at home. Pours brown color, lightly beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, caramel, yeast. Taste is medium sweet, lightly bitter, caramel, biscuits, malty.

2.9 Didn't realise when buying this is a wheat dunkel. No light through it, very murky. Very smooth and drinkable, a comforting beer, can't really taste any wheat in it so all good.

3.1 50cl bottle - Pours a dark brown colour with an average sized beige head that slowly settled. Aroma is malty, light roasted and sweet dark malt with some spicy notes. A moderately sweet taste, light roasted malt, caramel and light treacle flavours with a little spice and a crisp finish.

3.3 Tmava klasika, ktora neurazi, ani nenandchne :)

3.7 Beer of two halves: opening is spot on, lovely full carbonated alcohol and malt, creamy and satisfying balance. But, then it slides away a bit like flat, soapy water; a little sour, but mainly rather tasteless; disappointing end to a very, very promising start. Still very good.

3.5 Bottle from Appellation Wines. Appearance - deep brown with a creamy off-white head. Nose - toffee, light orange and bready. Taste - chewy toffee, creamy orange and hazelnuts. Palate - medium bodied, creamy texture and a sweet finish. Overall - medium bodied, creamy texture.

3.6 12 oz bottle rating. Brown body with off white above average sized head. Aromas of cocoa, leather, cola, banana, clove. Quite drinkable and a bit light and refreshing, which is nice for a beer in this style.

3.2 Color negro sin ser turbia u opaca, tal vez brillante, espuma alta y de duración media. Olor a cereal y levadura. Sabor a cereal, Malta, definitivamente trigo, terroso, seca. Carbonatación media, cuerpo medio a ligero

3.0 0.5l bottle from Amsterdam Dark brown colour whit good brownish head aróma of roast taste of bread roast

3.1 0.5 bottle from Maxi Pours dark cloudy chocolate color with thin white head. Mixed malty-wheaty aroma. Taste wheaty with notable barley, roasty notes, mild caramel, grass. Not strong at all. Grainy. Fine wheat dark beer.

4.6 It would be very silly to consider this beer one of the best that I have tasted but it is really great :)

3.4 Aroma of banana, wheat, mild grass Dark brown colour with small head Taste is banana, wheat, hay, slight mango notes Medium carbonation with smooth mouthfeel Weird but good weiss Tasted at skaal with anders

3.3 Bottle - dark brown with good off white head. Pleasant fruity aroma. Good mouthfeel. Very good tasting - slight fruit, slight banana. Good dark weiss.

3.3 Dark brown in colour. Taste and aroma of sweet malt, raisins, bananas and caramel. A quite good beer.

3.5 500ml bottle. Dark brown with medium beige head which quickly dissipates leaving circular retention. Aroma of sweet malts, banana, caramel and raisins; nice. Taste is sweet creamed wheat, caramel, banana, chocolate. Smooth body, moderate carbonation. Simple but well made and sessionable.

4.1 Buena. Vainilla dulce, cuerpo completo, espuma persistente. Llenadora

3.3 500ml bottle at home. Hazed brown cream head dark malt wheat beer decent enough

3.3 Si l'intensité aromatique et l'alcool, à 5,3 % avaient été à la hauteur de la richesse aromatique du nez, nous aurions eu une belle bière. Mais en définitive on ne peut que rager, qu'une bière, avec un tel potentiel ne soit pas exploitée à sa juste valeur. En verre, nous sommes sur une bière brune surmontée d'une mousse blanc crème de 3 mm. Joli nez, complexe, sur le girofle, la réglisse, le chocolat, une pointe de café, la poire, la pomme et la banane. La dégustation contraste avec une attaque insipide, sur le caramel avec de légères épices. On retrouve tout de même les arômes du nez en deuxième bouche, mais en mode "lessivé" avec un manque de tonicité évident. Avec soulagement, nous retrouvons un cocktail plus complexe et avec une présence tout juste acceptable en arrière bouche et en troisième bouche. L'alcool est toutefois nettement insuffisant pour soutenir l'ensemble. Le final fait retomber la bière dans ses travers, insipide et sans intérêt. Il faudrait nous la concentrer un peu plus cette Erdinger.
