Schneider Aventinus

Brewed by Weissbierbrauerei G. Schneider & Sohn
Style: Weizen Bock
Kelheim, Germany

Cloying malt sweetness and too much alcohol. Doesn’t even look good; ugly brown color. I can’t get into this one.

Bottle, Beer Ritz, Leeds. Poured a dark reddish brown with a big ol’ white head which lingered nicely. Aroma was clove, banana and yeast. Flavour was dark malt, chocolate, spice, plum. Creamyish mouthfeel. Mild sweetness with some bitterness in the finish. Could well be one of the best tasting German beers I’ve had thus far, but can’t help thinking this is a tad over rated on here.

500ml bottle. Beautifully cloudy reddish brown with a nice fine head. Big aroma of wheat malt: bananas and cloves, with a touch of dark fruit. Big, complex malt flavor, with lots of everything: bananas, figs, cloves, and a touch of chocolate and caramel even. Just enough sour in the finish to keep it from going over the top. Great full body. This is the weizen bock that sets the standards. Was even better at the brewery on tap.

ssa super conceituada Weizen Bock é, de longe a melhor dos produtos Schneider & Sons. Logo de cara, ao despeja-la no copo Weizen, já se nota que não é uma cerveja qualquer. A aparência inicial de sua espuma é grande, coloração marrom-claro e excelente formação de colarinho, este bem duradouro. Seu corpo é lodoso, com partículas de grossa densidade e tonalidade caramelo (4/5). O aroma é o clássico do estilo: banana, banana-passa e cravo; há, ainda, lufadas de baunilha (7/10). O sabor também está acima da média: o saboroso gole inicial é levemente doce e ácido, sensação que apresenta leve doçura e amargor no final, de duração média - do início ao fim percebe-se a presença de notas amadeiradas. O paladar apresenta como componentes um corpo médio, de textura cremosa, carbonatação bem gasosa e final levemente alcoólico (3/5).

Bottle. Gusher!! Popped the top on this one, turned my back for a split second to grab a glass and as I returned it was spewing out the top. Dark brown once I got it in the glass with a fizzy tan head that settled out quick. Dark fruits (raisin & prune) in the aroma with molasses and light alcohol also noted. As it warmed some spices and banana also came out in the aroma. Dark fruits and malts in the flavor. Also some clove and slight smoke in the flavor. Full body that is bitter in the beginning but ends sweet. Tingly carbonation and a slight warming feeling.
