Schneider Aventinus Weizen-Eisbock

pours a dark brown with a medium size tan head that goes away quickly, and some lacing. smell of malt, syrup, cocoa, some caramel, some spice, and a little bit of roasted nuts. taste is tangy, sour malt, nuts, spice, and a little bit of fruit, end is somewhat bitter.

Tap at PIB. Dark brown pour with a small white head. Aroma full of caramel, wheat, plum, raisins, clove, maybe cardomom. Flavor full of dark fruit, spice, roasted malts. Extremely tasty beer and I really need to try the original Aventinus soon.

Wow, what a great beer. Poures dark brown with a nice white head that is about 1/2 inch and slowly disapates. Amorma is rich with hints of caramel, dark fruits (rasins, plums, etc.). Taste is awesome with a full body that lasts on the palate. The roasted malts, and other flavors mask the alcohol reministant of the better trappist ales. This beer rates with the best in my book.

Bottle 2006/01594; not exactly a collectable, so I’ll photograph it and then get my dime from the bottle depot. This poured with a decent sized off-white head, and this beer is quite dark, copper-coloured (maybe), and none too clear. Hell, it was almost impenetrable when held up to the light. Such a unique aroma, I dunno, my olfactory senses are sometimes useless in trying to decipher what’s coming up to my nose from the glass. I must take inspiration from my learned beer colleagues, and agree that aroma and taste both feature dark fruit such as plums and raisins. Thanks, folks. Likewise for spices. I’ve not a clue as to which. Mouthfeel was smooooth, and the aftertaste was, well, to me like the flavour. Pretty damned good beer for a special occasion, but not for ’everyday use’.

11.2oz bottle: appearance is very dark brown with small cream color head, aroma filled with wheat and breaddy notes, flavor holy cow this packs a punch overwhelmed with wheat roasted malt and covers the alcohol well. all I can say is a damn good beer.

11-JUL-2009. Bottle @home. My first eisbock. I was expecting something much more syrupy, but was surprised. I had the normal Aventinus not long ago, and this is not to far from it. Myddy brown with high beige head. I am a little surprised by that, becaus I thought high ABV would kill the head. but not in this case. Nice nose with lots of fruits and malt - banana is there but so is the alcohol. I coud live with half the ABV. Lots of weisse character with yeasty notes, and lots of carbonation. Good beer and not too expensive, but I am not really convinced. Is this really bottom fermented beer?

Bottle. High creamy and lasting off-white head. Hazy muddy dark brown body. Banana apple pear aroma with clear indications of alcohol. Alcohol dominated fruity flavor with caramel and nuts. Low carbonation. Long aftertaste. Alcohol is way too dominant.
