Compared to pale wheat beer, dark wheat beer has a greater dark malted wheat content, hence its enticing chestnut brown colour. The substantial original gravity gives it its irresistibly pleasant taste, while its fresh, strong aroma reveals a hint of roasted malt.
Established in the early 17th century by the Paulaner monks, the brewery caused quite a splash with its first beer. Their first beer, a strong bock called Salvator, was so delicious and successful that other local breweries wrote to the council asking for them to restrict its sale to save others from closing.
Definitely recommended to those who enjoy a tasty dark brew, great as a pre dinner drink as not too heavy

A good tasting dark wheat beer with plenty of maltiness. Colour is more of a brown than really dark, but it's the taste that counts.

As expected, a real difference from the Weisse. For the odd occasion yes, but not a regular go to for me.

We're big Paulaner Weisse fans and do like dark beers too. This was unexpected. Not to say it's not a well crafted beer but it was not dark, more like a dark brown. A very sweet malty taste with some dry hops. If you like malty beers then it's for you.
