Re-rate: Over the past six weeks after my first sip of Aventinus, this has become one of if not the best beer I’ve had yet. The rich full bodied malty taste is just great. First rate-Started my day on an empty stomach and a Coopers Best Extra Stout, a dangerous combo! Now, one hour and lunch later I will pop the top of this....great color, like an opaque Anchor Steam, nice malty spicey aroma, wow, what a great taste, I am impressed with the complexity and balance. I had a Schneider Weisse last night, this beats it hands down. Worth every penny and then some.

Nov 28, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra. Smells like a cross between a quad and an imperial weizen. Complex as shit. Oh and tastes awesome. About as wheaty as a beer can get, but a nice complement of dark fruits makes this one excellent brew.

Nov 20, 2008 Smells slightly metallic and slightly sweet smell as it warms. smooth, sweet, slightly milky taste that is very rich. A nice balance of wheat and fruitiness with darker ans sweeter flavors as it warms. A very nice beer. I only wish it were lower in alcohol so I could drink more!

Oct 30, 2008 Shared this one w/ SkyCop32. Picked up at Maruhn Getränke in Darmstadt, also picked up the authentic glassware pictured to the left. Pours a crisp cola brown color. Aromas of clove, banana, fruit, and alcohol. Flavor is alcoholic clove and spice with a bittersweet finish. Good beer!
