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!

Bottle. Nose is yeast, alcohol, malts, and plum. Taste is caramelized figs, plum, clove, spice, and yeast. Full bodied and chewy with a strong sugary finish. Large amounts of alcohol present.. but it works in its favor if consumed as a sipper. The best way to describe would be the delicious classic, Aventinus, with a half shot of bourbon.

This beer is everything the regular Aventinus is and more. It’s so much more intense than the regular 8.2% counterpart. The aroma gets you going...malty, caramel, toffee, chocolate, banana, slight bit of hops....mmmmmm... Very thick, fluffy head that looks like a Whoppers Malted milk ball. Raisin, prune, banana, chocolate...pretty much it tastes how it smells. The hops are overwhelmed by the flavor. Best dark(er) beer EVER.

Bottle (330ml) Cellared for 3 years. Poured intense dark ruby with a small, frothy, lightly tanned head which was mostly diminishing. A rich, sticky, complex aroma with burnt sugar, toffee, toasted malts, dark chocolate, muscatels, prunes, caramelized dates and allspice. Flavor was of rich sticky toffee with caramelized dates, rum & raisin chocolate, fruit cake, figs, sultana’s, brown sugar, light woody notes, a touch of port and a warming finish. Well hidden alcohol, very smooth with virtually no bitterness. Full bodied with very soft carbonation, a syrupy texture and a long lasting finish.

Quite a complex beer. Aroma is heavy with notes of plums, raisins, chocolate, wheat and very light alcohol....almost like a fine port. Flavor is similar, with dark fruits and a chocolate palate, followed by a fantastic alcohol warmth. Mouthfeel is smooth. Overall, a delicious brew to be enjoyed on a cold winter night,or any cool night when needed that elusive alcohol warmth.

Murky brown pour, as if I had a snifter full of river water, with a tan head rimming the glass. More lace than a virgin bride on her wedding day. Aroma of striking your nose in a bag a prunes. Some banana, and yeast. A bit of alcohol. Flavor is thick and chewy, a thick heavy malt bill that’s fruity and estery, leaves your mouth dry. Alcohol notes but nothing like you’d expect from such a high ABV. Lots of chunks at the bottom of the glass. A wheat eisbock? Awesome.

This opaque brown ale poured with a generous beige head that dwindled away in a few minutes. There is a strong fruit and spice aroma, notably banana, plum and cloves. After a couple sips, there is a peppery sensation on ones tongue and throat. This is a very interesting brew that is a delight to drink.
