Apr 15, 2002 Updated: Dec 22, 2005Sweet, doughy nose with a touch of prunes, smells a little like blackberry brandy. A nice cloudy brown color. Tastes like sweet bread. Spicy
like a Xmas beer with a strong wheat component.
Malt a-go-go. Big, round mouth feel with a dry
finish. High alcohol. Challenging and not for
everyone, but I enjoy this stuff a lot.

Jan 2, 2006 Bottle from Premier Gourmet, Buffalo. Rating #1100! I was hoping to hit this on New Year’s Eve, but I was sick through some of the holidays, so that set my schedule back a bit. Ah, well, this was worth the wait. Murky reddish-brown with a small head and a very still body. Absolutely fantastic aroma with notes of dark pumpernickel bread, cherries, chicory, sweet malt and rich port. Smooth, soft mouthfeel. Flavour is not complex as the aroma suggests, but it’s still a nice combination of the yeasty/bready character and dark, rich fruit notes, with some alcohol warmth & dryness in the finish. It’s not the go-to beer that regular Aventinus is to me, but it’s still a very nice treat that I hope to enjoy again at some point.

Mar 3, 2010 Bottle (33 cl) from Systembolaget. Well, an upscaled Aventinus, and unfortunatley, the most distinguishing feature is a clear alcohol component. Still very good, but I will stick to the ordinary Aventinus.

Nov 21, 2004 Updated: Apr 2, 2005Had this one at Falling Rock in Denver. Maybe it was the thin air, maybe it was the lovely night, but whatever it was this stuff was delicious. Crisp malt is tinged by an icy chocolate flavor. The alcohol is hidden nicely, so watch out with this one. Smooth, delicious, and worth a try.

Jul 31, 2002 Banana clove smell, candi sugar spicy taste. It tasted like a high ABV brew, but it didn’t feel like 11%. If you like regular Aventinus, make sure you try its bigger brother. Thanks VENOM!

Jun 20, 2007 2006 bottle pours copper with a short tan head that fades pretty quick. Aromas of bannana, yeast, caramel, and raisin. Flavor is quite sweet with caramel and raisin as well. A good bannana sweetness and plenty of yeast. Smooth body with full sticky sweetness but adequate carbonation to offset it and make the mouthfeel pleasant.

May 8, 2006 Bottle: Poured a deep copper color beer with a small dark foamy head with minimal retention. Aroma is just plain incredible –mix of dry fruits (figs, prunes and raisins) with some floral malt. Taste is also dominated by the sweet fruit aspect but doesn’t go overboard. Alcohol is well hidden and body is just above average. I probably wouldn’t drink more then one in a session but I would love to smell this aroma over and over again.
