Apr 3, 2009 Pours a dark brown with some chunky sediment noticed when holding it up to the light. A thin tan head rapidly dissipated. It has a rather sweet fruity aroma - also noticed the alcohol immediately in the aroma aswell. A full bodied beer, it even feels quite thick when in the mouth, syruppy even. Spicy fruity/banana flavours. Can taste the alcohol in the aftertaste. Although I recognise this as being a good beer I found it a little to sweet for my taste and I found it dificult to finish the beer. A good beer though by all means with a dry, and slightly bitter finish. - 330ml brown bottle.

Mar 31, 2009 Bottled. Aroma has banana, raisin, spices. Hazy, brown coloured beer with an oof-white head. The taste is sweet has spices like clove and laurel. Toffee, caramel malts in it and some fruitiness. good beer i think.

Mar 25, 2009 bottle from LCBO. From notes, aroma is yeasty and dry fruits. Taste is quite sweet. Pretty much like the regular Aventinus. Note sure if I liked it better though. Well hidden alcohol content. Rating #74

Mar 20, 2009 ’07 bottle: Pour was a dark mahogany with a thick, tan head. Nose was massive amounts of dark fruits, i.e. raisins, plums, etc. Some dark malted wheat is apparent along with some spice. Great carbonation on this yet it still retains some silkiness in the body. Flavor was the aforementioned dark fruits, wheat and spice. Very good brew.

Mar 18, 2009 Did an alright job of hiding the alcohol, but the flavors were very nice. Similar spice, caramel and fruity flavors to the regular. I like the drinkability and more subtle flavors of the original, but this is still pretty good.

Mar 18, 2009 I actually prefer this to the regular Aventinus, but they’re both so damn good, who really cares? Ultra-intense flavors, it’s almost hard to describe. I was actually shocked (in a good way) when I first sipped this beer. I was unaware you could pact that much explosive flavor into any liquid. You can definitely taste the alcohol, but it’s a nice compliment rather than an unpleasant surprise.
