COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Aventinus, the Wheat Doppelbock of Bavaria, has always been known to be the most intense and complex wheat beer in the world. This was the case for the past sixty years, but not anymore...
Up until the 1940’s, Aventinus was shipped all over Bavaria in containers lacking temperature control. Consequently, the precious drink partially froze during transportation. Unaware that the brew was concentrated by the separation of water from the liquid. People were baffled by this unique version of Aventinus. By chance, the first Aventinus Eisbock was created.
Well aware of this story, Hans Peter Drexler, brewmaster of the Schneider brewery, decided to recreate this classic "mistake" in a modern controlled facility. Thus, the Aventinus Eisbock is reborn sixty years later ... Prost!

Un buen aroma a chocolate,y sobre todo plátano,banana o como le querais llamar;se percibe tambien bastante el alcohol a medida que la cerveza se atempera,para mi gusto es excesivo. Es una cerveza que luce muy muy bien,opaca que va desde los tonos marrones a un casi negro,con una espuma que se asemeja muchisimo a las trapenses.El sabor es muy extraño,es muy bueno pero muy extraño.Con esto quiero decir que es una cerveza compleja,cada vez que le das un sorbo encuentras algo diferente con lo que deleitarte.Es como un zumo,muy muy dulce con un sabor al final amargo caracteristico .Sobre el sabor que deja al paladar,es tambien progresivo,porque va cambiando a medida que la bebes.En mi caso,empezó con un picor considerable en la garganta y el paladar ( posiblemente por el alcohol ) y acabó con una textura dulce muy buena.Tiene una cantidad de gas media,lo justo para que se note. En definitiva es una buena cerveza,practicamente de sesion que a mi parecer se asemeja mucho a cualquiera cerveza trapista,pero sin llegar a ella,con un fuerte aroma a platano y un deje a chocolate.Ojo con el acohol,en mi caso se hizo notar durante todo el proceso.

Short beige head. Very opaque appearance. Much banana aroma. Complex taste with caramell maltiness and fruit. A perfect dessert beer for creme brulle.

Bottle. Dark brown with a thick white head. Banana, clove and dark fruit aroma. More of the same in the very complex flavour. The alcohol is almost completely hidden. Delicious.

UPDATED: FEB 3, 2012 (33cl Bottle) I think im gonna pass out , im wasted and 12 % kraut bocks at midnight is not my greatest achievement of 2012. I see this is no longer listed as an ’Eisbock’ ,it does not have the beautifull flavours of their normal Aventinus Weizen Bock in contrast . This beer’s intense boozy body is slughish. Chocolaty and bananary , And i feel sick..

Appearance: extremely rich dark chestnut, glowing like a ruby against the light; short fizzy, creamy tan head and a gentle bead when poured into a snifter; decent legs. Aroma: sweet malts, caramel, molasses, chocolate, raisins, port, and a hint of yeast. Taste: boozy, with notes of chocolate-covered cherries, raisins, prunes, yeast, and a bit of maple syrup (maybe). Finish: lingering notes of sweet dark chocolate and syrupy fruits, slowly fading. Notes: A big, rich, delicious, complex sipping beer. For all that, it’s eminently drinkable, and there isn’t as much of a boozy afterburn as you’d expect. In fact, the alcohol is considerably hidden in the palate, although the taste and aroma is present. This adds, rather than detracts, certainly. What a treat.

[ASPETTO] color marrone scuro, opaca [SCHIUMA] color beige, media presenza, fine , media persistenza [ OLFATTO ] buona intensità, lievito, cereali, frutta secca, amaretto, alcohol [GUSTO] intenso, malto, frumento e lieviti in prima fila, che infondono un una certa dolcezza; ancora compaiono sapori che ricordano l’amaretto e forse anche cioccolato, una leggera astringenza che introduce un fruttale (frutta matura) . Termina mantenendo note dolci, con evidenti note alcoliche. Retrogusto persistente, caldo che ricorda quasi un vino rosso corposo. [TEXTURE] corpo medio-alto, consistente in bocca; percezione alcolica evidente, sensazione di calore; buona carbonazione [COMMENTO FINALE] birra potente, alcolica e complessa sia al naso che in bocca. Un carattere basicamente weizen ma con l’aggiunta di maltatura prepotente, toni fruttati che ricordano una strong ale belga, quasi natalizia ( a parte strane speziature). Da meditazione prolungata, si beve bene ma a piccoli sorsi e si arriva all’ultimo soddisfatti ma provati: alcool forse un pelino eccessivo. Mancava solo un bel camino acceso.

edpeg (218) - Berlin, GERMANY - JAN 25, 2012
UPDATED: JAN 28, 2012 Pours murky dark brown cloudy with thick foamy off-white head. Aromas banana, vanilla, orange, caramel, alcohol, wood. Taste is hints of tart fruits, raisins, with thick oily slight watery texture with smooth carbonation. Aftertaste is sweet malty flavors with warming alcohol. Finish is medium short with dryness. The beer is smooth and drinkable, being 12% ABV, alcohol is not overwhelming. Depends also on the temperature you drink this.

jhamp9 (159) - Texas, USA - JAN 25, 2012
Pours a dark murky brown with a decent sized light brown head. Leaves minimal lacing. Aroma is strong dark fruit and banana peel with some wheat characteristics. Taste is raisin, dates, banana, some wood, and a hint of alcohol in the finish. Alcohol is concealed for the most part. Silky on the palate and warms on the way down. Pretty good overall.
