Brewed by Erdinger Weissbräu, this Gernan dunkel [dark beer] is described as "A wheat beer from the good old days". If the good old days were as good as this beer, then they were indeed good.
It looks absolutely beautiful in the glass, a rich, murky dark brown with contrasting off-white head. The head remains all the way to the end, without much lacing.
My nose was quite busy with this beer, picking out the predominant chocolate, subtle fruit, light alcohol, raisin, roasted hops, and caramel. Flavor is heady, with malt, hops, and toasted wheat dominating. Carbonation is mild, and it finishes with a medium bitterness.
The Bottom Line: This complex dark beer has an interesting aroma and flavor profile which makes it highly enjoyable.
The Rating: Good Stuff.
