Sep 27, 2009 Bottle. Pours a dark brown color with a small off-white tan head. Aroma is sweet, alcohol, spices. Flavor is sweet, with noticeable alcohol burn which is present, but pretty well hidden for being 12 percent. If I had to pick one next time I was in the store, I’d just grab the regular Aventinus.

Sep 25, 2009 on tap at uber. dark brown, almost black pour with a significant malty sweetness to the nose and well balanced spices as well. Great palate and a smooth taste.

Sep 24, 2009 Bottle. Dark, murky brown pour. Minty aroma with cloves banana and strawberries and butter. Taste is strawberry-banana with a well hidden alcohol. Mouthfeel is quite full and creamy with low carbonation. This beer tastes like an aged beer. Quite delicious.

Sep 23, 2009 Bottled 33cl. Murky brown appearance. Banana, glue and plum in the nose. Buttery. Full bodied. Sweet. Overrated in my opinon. I didn’t enjoy it a huge deal.

nice silky texture and medium carbonation.

Sep 15, 2009 Wow. Bottle pours almost ice coffee with a medium diminishing head. Nicely cloudy look. Aroma is somewhat fruit and spice. Alcohol notes are in perfect harmony with the complexity I’m not fully able to decipher. Simply fantastic.

Sep 13, 2009 Bottle pours a dark brown with a hint of amber and thin tan head. Aroma is sweet malts, raisins, and plums. Tastes sweet with a distinct alcohol finish and a very mild bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium-heavy body with low carbonation. Interesting style but alcohol is the prevalant throughout this beer. I can imagine sipping this beer on a cold winter day and being warmed nicely.

Sep 10, 2009 Deep ruby/copper pour with a stunning creamy off-white head.
Aromas of caramel, red wine, port, caramelised bananas and wheat. Reminds me slightly of Trois Pistoles. Later on golden syrup, sultanas and chocolate become apparently. Lovely.
Intensely malty flavours with caramel and toasty notes, balanced with boozy alcohol and a light bitterness. Alcohol is a little over the top.
Big rich body, moderately high carbonation, higher than I’d expect, but the flavour profile is so huge that this doesn’t impact too much.
