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, 33cl, 2008. Pours dark, cloudy, yeasty brown with sediment. None to little head. Aroma of sweet malt, licorice and yeast. Similar on the palate, with prominent alcohol and some banana, and sharpish aftertaste. One for the cold winter nights!

Bottle. Pours dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma is a little bit spicy and features cinnamon, yeast concentrate, raisins and alcohol prominently. Tingly in the mouth, it has a lot of similarities with the original Aventinus, but a more powerful concentration of flavour. Malt, aniseed, clove and brown sugar are prominent but it does depend on the vintage and bottle. I have had other vintages which were a bit different but this one - 2009 - is definitely worth seeking out.

Had side by side with the normal Aventinus and liked it slightly less than the original. Awesome story, though, and something every beer drinker should try!

On draft at the brickstore. Pours a hazy light brown with fair ring of khaki head. Nose is all wheat, and does not prepare you for the flavor explosion that is to follow. Raisin, figs, caramel, anise, banana, clove, honey, and nice alcohol esters in the background that come off as cherries. Medium full body with just the right amount of alcohol warming. Most excellent!

Rich dark copper to brown pour., light of tan head. Dark Sugar/fruit scent among other things. Smooth taste. Can’t believe its 12% Alc! Very good flavor and as I finish....I feel the 12%.
