Schneider Aventinus Weizen-Eisbock

This beer is quite a blast to the taste buds. From a sweet, malty aroma, to its oh so complex yet perfectly rounded finish, it is pure heaven. If any beer lover doughts the existance of God, I would suggest a bottle of this. Thereafter, I would ask the person when they would like me to schedule their their baptism.

Aventinus Eisbock pours to a deep murky garnet color with a creamy tan head and a soft carbonation. The nose on this beer is jam packed with big chocolate, carmel, and sweet malt aromas coupled with that signature funky, yeasty aroma of Aventinus, and alcoholic strength. The palate is very rich and complex with intense malt flavors. Big flavors of sweet malt, caramel, chocolate, estery fruit flavors of banana and pear, vanilla, and toffee coat the tongue. The body is fat and lush on the tongue as it slowly glides down the throat. This beer finishes with more big sweet malty flavors up front, then ends with a long, soothing, high octane burn. Aventinus Eisbock is a very potent brew coming in around 11% abv. This beer in a word is; stunning. Without a doubt one of the most impressive beers on the market today. This beer is very potent, and is marketed in 11.5 oz bottles, vrs the 1/2 liters you usually get Aventinus in. It is very rare as Beverage United, its importer, only gets 120 cases of this beer per month over the winter, making it a hard to find beer. This beer is perfect this time of year, and is the ultimate beer to sip and savor. Drink this beer alone, enjoy the complex flavors and aromas. This is heaven in a glass.

Dark brown color with very faint head. Aroma has a wheat and slightly sweet scent. Not too strong but mild alcohol flavor. By far the best Eisbock, having lived in Bavaria and toured most of the monestaries and breweries, I would know.

Bottle #02774 from the 2002 batch nice aroma of fruit and malt nice head that lasts for awhile taste was malty with the same fruity tones that are in the aroma nice warm feeling in the finish from the alcohol.All i got to say is what a beer can"t go wrong trying this one folks

I've recently had this on draft at the Buckeye Brewing Company. This is probably the best beer I've ever had! The bottled version was very, very good, but the draft version blows the bottle away. I highly recommend it if you get the chance to try it on tap. It's all this and a stick of bubble gum too!Deep mohogany hazy beer, nice purpley/red highlights, great head retention and lace on sides of glass. Aroma is very strong clove, bubble gum, banana, wheat malt, peppery, plummy, and a hint of diacetyl. Alcohol also appears in aroma as it warms. Clove and malt flavor also up front with dark fruit and alcohol playing supporting rolls; finishes drier than expected for a very malty beer. Very well balanced. Alcohol is very subtle warming and not noticeable in the draft version making this a very dangerously good beer. Higher carbonation lends to lighter than actual body. Very good beer on a cold winter night, or a hot summer day. If you are able to have this on tap, I highly recommend it!

This beer is everything the regular Aventinus is and more. It’s so much more intense than the regular 8.2% counterpart. The aroma gets you going...malty, caramel, toffee, chocolate, banana, slight bit of hops....mmmmmm... Very thick, fluffy head that looks like a Whoppers Malted milk ball. Raisin, prune, banana, chocolate...pretty much it tastes how it smells. The hops are overwhelmed by the flavor. Best dark(er) beer EVER.

This smells and looks fantastic. Taste is very similar to the regular Aventinus, just much more powerful. Full of alcohol and spiciness. Top notch.

Pours a dark hazy brown. Thin tan head that disspates quickly. Aroma is raisins, figs and a hint of wheat. Flavor is remarkable--dried chrerries, raisins, a hint of yeast and candi sugar. If you didn’t look at the label, you’d thing you were drinking a good abt. The mouthfeel is thick and coating (in a good way) and the alcohol, while warming, is very muted considering the ABV. Basically, they took everything that was good about the original Aventinus and magnified it. Truly awesome beer.
