This had a very small head.Color was a red-brown.It was hazy due to floating material.Aroma was of fermented prunes.It tasted of raisins and oranges.Sweet and sour.fairly heavy body.Sticky palate.Finished with biting alcohol.It is a rather complex beer,so I gave it an extra point or 2.I really don’t like the taste.It’s not for me,but you may like it.I’m glad I was able to try it.It’s supposed to be an elixor of wheat beer.i think I taste the wheat,though it is the wheat taste minus the water,so it’s very strong.Tastes like they evaporated 2 of their wheat beers and combined the solids with some water to make 2 beers into 1.

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.

Nov 20, 2008 Hazy dark brown colour, thin light beige head. Strong aroma of banana and wheat, with some spices and a hint of alcohol. A bit too much carbonation on the palate. Malty banana flavour, with alcohol very clearly present. Long warm aftertaste.

Nov 20, 2008 Bottle. Hazy, deep brown with creamy head. Bright carbonation, not too heavy on the tongue. Caramel and anise on the nose. Flavor is a bit tart/sour with lots of bright malts. Sticky-sweet, very concentrated flavor. Wonderful, a staple.
