Commercial Description:
Aventinus, the Wheat Doppelbock of Bavaria, has always been known to be the most intense and complex wheat beer in the world. This was the case for the past sixty years, but not anymore...
Up until the 1940's, Aventinus was shipped all over Bavaria in containers lacking temperature control. Consequently, the precious drink partially froze during transportation. Unaware that the brew was concentrated by the separation of water from the liquid. People were baffled by this unique version of Aventinus. By chance, the first Aventinus Eisbock was created.
Well aware of this story, Hans Peter Drexler, brewmaster of the Schneider brewery, decided to recreate this classic "mistake" in a modern controlled facility. Thus, the Aventinus Eisbock is reborn sixty years later ... Prost!

Bottle, murky dark red brown color and a little tiny head, that puffs away. aroma is prunes, chocolate and syringa. flavor really complex with dark fruits, milk chocolate a little banana, orange marmalade. The alcohol is evident and a major player in this world class game

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!

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.

Unclear dark brown, no head. Aroma sweet, raisin. Fizzy, medium body. Alcohol not pronounced, no hopp. But not very sweet either. Not really my style. Too flat. Purchased at New Beer Distributors, New York.

(Bottle) Smell and taste as the regular Aventinus but more intense (12% instead of 8.2%) and less smooth. Great beer.

Bottle. Thick opaque brown pour with a nice beige foamy head. Aroma of sweetbread, cinnamon, nice yeast presence, and some clove. Great aroma, I could smell this for hours. Flavor is cinnamon, yeast, bread, clove, raisins, dark fruits, great tasting beer! The mouth feels like gargling with syrup! Excellent beer.

bottle, pours hazy amber with a tall light tan head. Sweet yeasty aroma with some bannana and wheat. Some good bready malt notes that have a carmel sweetness and end with a light alcohol burn and a little bit of a spice bite. Not bad.
