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!

Pours a hazy nut brown red with a layer of tan foam that quickly dissipates to bits of lacing. First thing I noticed in aroma and taste was ALCOHOL...yikes....I shouldn’t drink this on a Thursday night. Beyond that, the aroma is roasted malts, alcohol, caramel, alcohol, almost burnt sugars (flavor is heavy of this as well),and alcohol. Flavor is definitely this tone of burnt sugar, alcohol, sugary liquors (rum), alcohol, strange undertones of bourbony oak, and shockingly shit tones of alcohol. Now, beyond the alcohol in this ... I find the sugary notes too be too much. The body is like a light syrup with some carbonation. Too sweet for me but okay.

0,33cl bottle @ biergasthof schiffner. Alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, hang on... ah, and alcohol. joined in smell with caramel, roasted cereal and boiled fruit. In appearance its dark amber with hardly any head. tastes of dark rum, butter AND alcohol. oddly it was surprisingly light to drink, but still made me go to bed with my two year old niece...

The Eisbock is a slightly distilled version of the Aventinus Weizenbock. It is incredibly sweet, a bit over powering on the aroma, it’s a kind of a kick in the mouth, but it finishes cleanly

Bottle. Pours orange/red with a lasting white head. Smooth and creamy with bannana, cherry and a nice sharp kick that is very well balanced.

2006 Vintage: pretty much on the money. Masses of cola, dark treacle, burnt sugar, bitter cooked fruits on the nose. Aggressive, powerful, has good penetration. A little more one-dimensional to taste as the complexity falls away somewhat in favour of hot cooked malts and aniseed. Notwithstanding I’m surprised this weights in at 12%. Needs time.

330ml from renffisch. Buttery rich malt aroma. Cloudy brown appearance. Flavour is somewhat swamped by excess alcohol and overall, I think the standard Aventinus is a better drink. It ends up being like drinking a rich dark rum!

Bottle. Pours dark brown, Alcohol is not hidden. Nose is maltiness, some fruitiness, subtle. Big malt, molasses, some spiciness in taste. Very crisp carbonation. Warms.
