Mar 2, 2008 Dark brown pour with a off white head that dissipates quickly. Aroma of candied dark fruits, yeast, and wheat. Flavors of dark fruit, wheat, toffee, and a hint of chocolate.

Feb 28, 2008 Updated: Feb 29, 2008Bottle thanks to jrob_21. Pours a cloudy brown with a nice beige head. The aroma is very rich; alcohol, yeast, dark fruits, and grains. The taste is also rich and great; sweet plums, raisins, wheat and rich malts, a real alcohol presence that is great. Like a rich German cake or bread. A bunch of mud in the bottom of the glass. What a great beer.

Feb 27, 2008 2007 bottle, this was a first for me of this style, and the first thing I noticed was the strong smell/taste of wheat and yeast. Dark brown, murky color with short lived head. Very complex flavor, begins sweet and fruity, ends a little bitter with some alcohol taste that lingers. Not bad.

Feb 26, 2008 2007 vintage bought at Big Z in Huntington, NY. Great complex, balanced beer that is in a category of its own. To be savored slowly as an apertif or dessert drink.

Feb 25, 2008 Poured into a weizen glass. Body is the same color as the bottle, and there’s little head and no lacing.
Smells like unfiltered apple juice, with a touch of banana and alcohol.
Flavors of bready malt with a lot of fermenting apple and some banana sweetness. Notes of dark chocolate.
Not a lot of carbontion, but still pretty smooth. Finish is dirty.

Feb 24, 2008 This is a good rarity to drink. I do not consider it an everyday beer by any stretch. It has a very dark sugar/ caramel/ toffee aroma and it is very syrupy on the palate. It burns a bit on the way down.

Feb 23, 2008 Many thanks to KingG for the bonus. Pours clearish caramel brown with a fizzy white head. Smells of alcohol and caramel malt. Tastes very malty sweet and caramelly. Alcohol burn on the finish. Thin brew with super crisp carbonation that fades towards the end of the glass. Coats the mouth a bit. Ehhh.

Feb 21, 2008 Updated: Apr 22, 2009A cloudy brown brew with a fizzy head and a pungent, fruity aroma. Aventinus has a rich, complex flavor that is like no other beer. I tasted grapes, ginseng, prunes, currants, hops, and honey in the middle of the palate. Then the tingly carbonation becomes apparent, before a surprisingly dry, mildly hopped finish. It is hard to believe the alcohol content is 12% - so that is why my brain began to emit a cheery buzzing halfway thru the bottle. Aventinus eisbock is unique and special. It is worthy of parades, songs, statues, medals, fan clubs, legends, etc.
