Apr 25, 2008 4 year old cellared bottle. Pours dark brown with just a faint dappling of tan bubbles. Smells of alcohol, dark fruit (mostly raisins, some plums, some cherries), sugar, earthy. Tastes of molasses, roasted malt, a lot of residual sugar that balances out the percievable alcohol nicely, some spicy elements, licorice. Mouthfeel is full bodies and oily. Finish yields some sweetness and warming alcohol. I don’t think I could drink more than a few ounces of this at a time, but it would make for a great desert drink in place of a cordial.

Jul 18, 2007 Tap at Blind Tiger. Deep brown with a ruby tint. Deep rich aroma, cloves and cardamom, dark chocolate and heavy chocolatey toasted wheat character. Soft rum and plum with a bit of peppery spice as well. Stewed fruit and cinnamon. Very wintery brew. The palate is soft and silky with heavy yeasty spice and lots of rich sweet dried fruits. Dark chocolate, light licorice and prune/raisins. Rummy sweetness. As it warms the peppery alcohol really comes through and starts to detract from the other great fruity/spicy characteristics. The clovey spice and even a touch of smokiness still comes through nicely, but it gets a bit out of balance. I prefer the regular weizenbock to this.

Apr 16, 2004 Dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma is of apple crisp, some cinnamon and cardamom, very sweet malts. Taste is harsh, very carbonated, but really overpowering with a sharp alcohol bite. Really disappointed that the aroma didn't carry over to the flavor. Fizzy, thick and syrupy, some burnt peaches and wood in the finish. I'm not sold on this one.

Sep 10, 2004 Updated: Jul 8, 2005A rich brown body with a thin light brown head... then an acrid, bitter aroma.. which I kind of liked. It makes a thick, rich mouth-feel with a caramel maltiness. The finish is surprizingly clean, considering the thickness of the brew. Not bad. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Liquors, Oak Forest, IL<font size=-1>

May 7, 2002 This is truly an anomaly amongs other eisbocks. A voluminous head on a high ETOH beer. Great weiss flavors with a warming feel. Perhaps a bit more ’fizz’ distracts slightly.

Feb 8, 2009 Bottle@Home, thanks Savad. Banana, toffee and malty aroma. Brown color, beige/greyish head, good lace. Sweet, light bitter, banana, vanilla, toffee, some herbs. Soft and smooth. Straightforward German beer but very flavourful.

Nov 5, 2003 Dark brown color with light head and no lacing (actually more than I would expect for this high of an ABV). The aroma is lightly hoppy with a cherry, bockish quality to it. One aroma stands out that doesn't quite please me is a fresh outhouse smell. The flavor is lightly sweet with complex malt and yeast filling out the back. Some fruity flavors are there with a pear, raisin end to the flavor. Finishes with a nice alcohol sting and warmth feeling. Overall this had an almost positive and negative aspect compared to the regular aventinus.

Jan 6, 2006 Bottle. Poured a reddish brown with a spare heaad that diminished quickly. Heavy port and sweet aroma with a small alcohol tone. Medium to full body with a sticky texture. Heavy sweet small bitter flavor with a long finish. Eisbock’s are always interesting to sample.
