11.2oz bottle. 2007 vintage. Murky dark brown color with a thin film of tan colored head. Sharp clovey phenolics and banana/bubblegum esters in the aroma with tinges of alefruit. Cloying fig and raisin malt flavors explode up front. Heavy estery fruit and candy components. Raisinbread, caramel segue into the finish. Hints of wheaty graininess in the finish, with some alcohol and a heavy residual sweetness met with yeast flavors. Mouthfeel is heavy, unctuous.

Dec 1, 2008 Bottle. Poured a cloudy brown color with a small white head. Aroma of wheat and bananas. Flavor was sweet with bananas and a good alcohol warming finish. I prefer the regular Aventinus, but this was good.

Nov 28, 2008 Bottle. Dark brown colour with a medium sized off-white head. The aroma is sweet, banana, some fruits and wheat. The flavour is sweet malt with notes of wheat, banana, raisin, yeast and some alcohol in the finish. Medium to full-bodied. Very nice brew, but I prefer the normal Aventinus.
