Erdinger Weisbier Dunkel


Brewed by: Werner Brombach GmbH
Brewed at: Erding, Germany
Type: Dark Wheat Beer
5.3% A/V

First Impression
An almost intimidating bottle wrapper on this bold German. All gold and red and brown. Rather attractive if I'm honest. Dark wheat beer? Who let the dogs out?

First Sip
Okay. Full disclosure, I've tested four-ish beers prior to this one; but "Erdinger Dunkel" has to be the silliest name worn by a bottle of beer. Kinda nutty. Kinda caramelly. Dark for a wheat beer. Shockingly light tasting.

Halfway
Very easy to get along with, Erdinger Dunkel is surprisingly gentlemanly.

Bottoms Up
Drinkable. Hints of cinnamon and allspice. Dark but light. A nice formal beer. Like a tuxedo.

82/100
