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 33 cl. Pours a cloudy reddish brown with a small tan head and a nose of malts, biscuits, dried prunes, cherries and toasted grains. The taste is sweet in a good way, but also pretty alcoholic. Brown sugar and some caramel, but mainly a well-rounded sweetness. A sweet finish too, with a little but of bitterness in the end. A nice beer

This beer pours very cloudy and dark brownish amber with a really thick, pillowy head. No lacing. The aroma is mostly dried fruit, prunes and raisins. A lot of roasted malt sweetness in the nose too The taste is really quite sweet and alcoholic. If you’d had Aventinus the flavour is almost the same, just with a more pronounced alcohol and more malty sweetness. This is aventinus on steroids. The mouthfeel is pretty highly carbonated and medium bodied. Pretty hard to drink more than one of these beasts.

Bouteille de 500 ml achetée chez LCBO (Ottawa, ONT). Arôme: Odeur de caramel et de raisins avec une pointe chocolatée. Apparence: La couleur est brune opaque avec une faible densité de bulle. Présence d’un large col mousseux et d’une large dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût de caramel fruité avec une pointe de banane et de chocolat. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture huileuse. Moyenne effervescence en bouche. Légère présence d’alcool en arrière goût. (Rating #2171)

Mad props to bluesandbarbq for sending one of these my way, thanks! Amazing contents inside of the bottle, such a complex and beautiful beer. Mottled brown pour with an amber tint. The initially fizzy tan head soon fades leaving a couple swirls at best and a touch of small lace on the glass. The aroma is a bountiful bouquet of plums, red grapes, cherries and raisins coupled by a strong earthy must. Smooth body with a mild boozy quality. A sipping beer for sure, time must be taken to fully enjoy this treat. A warm lingering sweetness follows in the aftertaste. Full bodied flavors of fermented raisins and plums. Table wine accents lend a wine like quality. Thick, sweet malts with a soft bite. World class.
