| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Jun 13, 2009 aroma is plum/alcohol. Pours very dark reddish brown. Some kind of ’pulp’ floating around in there. Taste is sweet, thick and smooth. I love it. I can’t believe this beer is 12%. Bonus points for that. NomDeBeer (400), Maryland, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 10, 2009 Pours brown with no head. Aroma is vinous, sticky, and sweet with notes of plum, cloves and alcohol. Taste is plum, cloves, caramel, and a touch of alcohol which is warming in the stomach. Pretty thick and heavy for a wheat beer, and the carbonation is low. I’m surprised by how much I’m enjoying this considering I did not like the other Aventinus. I’ll have to try that one again. bconley (351), Fern Park, Florida, USA

Also has a candy sugar sort of smell and taste. Caramel malts were good. lot of alcohol in the taste. lamas (718), Adams Morgan, Washington DC, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jun 9, 2009 11.2 oz. bottle from 2008. Bottle #19155. Pours a murky plum color with a huge and fizzy beige head. A rich, complex aroma that features plenty of raisins, banana bread, cloves, cinnamon, caramel, and a yeasty/citrusy tanginess. Big-bodied and syrupy, yet still kinda spritzy and refreshing due to the high level of effervescence. TONS of sweet, candied sugar upfront taste-wise. Banana bread, raisin, fig, clove, and cinnamon flavors follow. Ends with some tangy oranges and a spicy bite. Warming alcohol is present throughout. edelbrauer (57), Rügen, Germany

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 6, 2009 Dark brown, Very aromatic (fruit, yeast, alcohol, malt), good medium lasting head, medium carbonation, not a very hoppy beer. A bit sweet (works well with its amount of alcohol). Good beer in general! Birdiebeagle (788), Perkasie, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 3, 2009 Bottle Pours a murky brown with a big bubbly light tan head. The head leaves rapidly. Doen’t seem to be much lacing either. Has a good aroma of fruits, nuts, caramel, and alcohol. Has a good carbonation. The flavors are good. A big shot of the alcohol, but not a rough burn. Lacks hops but is not too sweet. Has a syrupy texture. A good solid finish with a real good aftertaste. This is a good beer.
