Jun 18, 2009 Pours red brown with a substantial tan coloured head. Nose has alot of depth and richness. Raisins, caramel with a heap of bready yeast and alot of spicy, clovey phenolics. Palate is quite full, showcasing the rich malt. Finishes with a big hit of abv and yeast driven spice. Quite complex, but the finish is a touch rough, especially once it warms up. Great beer, but certainly prefer the normal aventinus.

Jun 15, 2009 Bottle. Pours a muddled brown much like maple syrup with a body to match. Malty and sweet with hints of clove and alcohol.

Jun 13, 2009 aroma is plum/alcohol. Pours very dark reddish brown. Some kind of ’pulp’ floating around in there. Taste is sweet, thick and smooth. I love it. I can’t believe this beer is 12%. Bonus points for that.

Jun 10, 2009 Pours brown with no head. Aroma is vinous, sticky, and sweet with notes of plum, cloves and alcohol. Taste is plum, cloves, caramel, and a touch of alcohol which is warming in the stomach. Pretty thick and heavy for a wheat beer, and the carbonation is low. I’m surprised by how much I’m enjoying this considering I did not like the other Aventinus. I’ll have to try that one again.

Jun 10, 2009 Tap at redlight. Brown body. Very complex and strong smell. Lotta maltiness and yeast. Also has a candy sugar sort of smell and taste. Caramel malts were good. lot of alcohol in the taste.

Jun 9, 2009 11.2 oz. bottle from 2008. Bottle #19155. Pours a murky plum color with a huge and fizzy beige head. A rich, complex aroma that features plenty of raisins, banana bread, cloves, cinnamon, caramel, and a yeasty/citrusy tanginess. Big-bodied and syrupy, yet still kinda spritzy and refreshing due to the high level of effervescence. TONS of sweet, candied sugar upfront taste-wise. Banana bread, raisin, fig, clove, and cinnamon flavors follow. Ends with some tangy oranges and a spicy bite. Warming alcohol is present throughout.

Jun 6, 2009 Bottle, murky dark red brown color and a little tiny head, that puffs away. aroma is prunes, chocolate and syringa. flavor really complex with dark fruits, milk chocolate a little banana, orange marmalade. The alcohol is evident and a major player in this world class game

Jun 6, 2009 Dark brown, Very aromatic (fruit, yeast, alcohol, malt), good medium lasting head, medium carbonation, not a very hoppy beer. A bit sweet (works well with its amount of alcohol). Good beer in general!
