Slight bitterness mixed in with a chocolately bread flavor. very complex. gets better with each drink. mar (1740), Rowlett, Texas, USA Oct 10, 2009 bottle thanks to angrypirate07. chocolate brown with a cream head. nose is clove, wheat, banana and alcohol. nice thickness with a definite wheat, clove flavor and a very light hint of alcohol in the finish. Enjoyit (1695), Vadum, Denmark Oct 8, 2009 Deep amber of color with a beige head. An aroma of sweets, dark fruits and bubblegum. A flavor of dark alcohol, alcohol and sweets. flatmatt (220), Northville, Michigan, USA Oct 5, 2009 330 mL bottle. Pours red brown with a big old off-white head. Aroma is strong, sweet, and a bit boozy with lots of raisin, grape, cloves, and nuts. Flavor is about the same, but smoothed out, with a pleasant combination of dark fruits, cloves, caramel, and nuts. I’m a bit surprised by the difference between this and regular old Aventinus. Seems good to me! 6ROW (243), corpus christi, Texas, USA Sep 29, 2009 *(on tap co2 and nitro mix)dark brown pour, with big off white head. aroma of fruit esters. way darker the you would expect a wheat beer to be. i like it
