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!

33cl Bottle. Dark brown color , medium brown head that quickly dissolves. Sweet aromas of raisins,plums,port wine, some wheat. Full bodied wit complex flavour that is pretty well balanced even if it is a bit on the sweet side for my taste. Very decent.

Pours and dark amber with fleeting off-white head. Fruity aroma with hints of raisin, malt, banana and other sweet goodness. Lots of flavor going on here. Sticks to the tongue. A great full bodied beer!

Super aventinus concentrate is pretty damn fine idea. Port vineous nose, banana and cloves once again and hugely malty surge when you gulp it down. Kicks ass, on par with the normal aventinus which is saying something.

Bottle. Poured a deep chestnut color, light brown head. Nose is sweet rasins, plums and yeast. Thick mouthfeel decent carbonation. Flavor is very Belgian-like rasins, plums, yeast, spice, and sweet alcohol all present. Too much alcohol to taste any wheat in it. Finished sweet and slightly sour.

Bottle dated 2008. Pours a dark, clear brown with yeast floaties and a thick tan head that quick disappears to a slight ring around the glass. Aroma of wheat malts, dried fruits (raisins, prunes, bananas), and alcohol. Taste is no surprise with a bit of sweetness and roasted malt thrown in. Mouthfeel is slightly creamy with a pleasant aftertaste that I find hard to describe. Overall a very heavy body with a lot of complexity.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 11.2oz bottle into its own Aventinus Weizen-Eisbock glass. The bottle was numbered and dated 2007. Appearance: The pour is smooth, thick and builds a tall tan head. The head quickly settles down to thin wispy layer that is slick and leaves no lacing behind. Its body is thick, cloudy, brownish in color and contains some small bits of yeast sediment floating in it. Smell: The nose is big deep and fruity. Wheat malt notes are surrounded by over ripe banana peel and raisons soaked in rum. Taste/Mouth feel: Its flavor like its aroma is big and deep as well. Concentrated sweet malty flavor is full warming alcohol, mild clove and fruity yeast showing raison, banana peel, prune and bubble gum like flavor notes. The texture was slick and smooth with slightly syrupy, but not overly so, mouth feel. Carbonation is light in this big full bodied beer. Notes: This beer is big, bold, and beautiful.
