petzdrgonizbk (24), Tennessee, USA Oct 13, 2007 Wow! Very nice! I wish I had a few more! It pours a dark brown with a thin creamy head, with a nice fruity aroma. It had a sweet fruity taste that semed to linger. This beer packs a punch. I tried it at about 50 degrees. Beershine (2677), Hue, Vietnam Oct 8, 2007 Updated: Dec 12, 2007Pours a muddled brown and nourishing-looking with all that sediment. Interesting beer with plenty of character. Can be dangerously potent. However, the alcohol is detectable so more than one might not be appealing. Uber-malty nose. Also lactic acid. Worstershire and/or soya sauce. Caramel flavors. Maybe even a hint of condensed milk. Strong and sweet, but good. Mellow and warming. cbeers21 (563), Miami, Florida, USA Oct 2, 2007 Ruby brown/black, solid head. Spicy menthol, mint, licorice clove and almost earthy/flowery root beer aroma and flavor as well. The aroma and flavors have a mysterious ginger quality which is accentuated by the presence of alcohol. While I prefer the other Aventinus more, this brew is unique worth trying. dkachur (2313), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA Oct 1, 2007 Bottle, 2006/15654. Aroma of strong banana. Pours with thin head, dark brown color. Very malty, with more banana and caramel. Flavors definitely develop as the beers warm. Very bubbly. One of the best beers I’ve had... ever. JoeinUccle (902), Brussels, Belgium Oct 1, 2007 I see it as a big, powerful barley wine with weizen roots. Lovely dark brown with a big, lasting, light brown head. Sugary chocolate and plum nose. Quite sweet with chocolate malts, dark fruits and rum. Warming. Lively, Belgian-like carbonation. Too sweet to drink much, but what a nice dessert this would make. MikeF (528), Cleveland, Ohio, USA Sep 30, 2007 Tried on tap.
Truly a great beer. competes with the great belgian strong ales in complexity, however, is heavier on the fruity notes. This is an example of a beer with the "whole picture" pleasant floral and malty aroma, handsome appearance, full and complex in flavor, and finishes clean. LooseCannon (914), Norfolk, Virginia, USA Sep 27, 2007 11.2oz bottle, bottle number 2006/19132. Pours dark brown in color with brown head. Aroma is sweet and of caramel with a strong alcohol nose. Taste of alcohol, caramel and malt with dry finsih. jujubeast6000 (768), Houston, Texas, USA Sep 26, 2007 (bottle): Pours a cloudy dark brown reddish color. Light tannish head - diminishing. Flowery aroma, malty & hoppy but very flowery. Some alcohol. Flowery taste, some alcohol and, fizzyness. Very good. Tastes a lot like a Belgian triple or strong ale.
