2007 bottle #14967 poured into a snifter has a red amber color and an initial light tan one finger head that fell quickly. aroma has burnt dark fruit, plumb, raisin, maple, and licorice. there is an almost smoked wood thing in the aroma distinct from the regular aventinus. flavor is certainly concentrated, dark fruit and malt, and some booze. such a strong concentrated flavor that it is somewhat overwhelming against the alcohol snap. very nice beer and boy is there some alcohol in here. i think without having tried the regular version i would not have appreciated this as much.

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.
