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!

Murky brown pour, as if I had a snifter full of river water, with a tan head rimming the glass. More lace than a virgin bride on her wedding day. Aroma of striking your nose in a bag a prunes. Some banana, and yeast. A bit of alcohol. Flavor is thick and chewy, a thick heavy malt bill that’s fruity and estery, leaves your mouth dry. Alcohol notes but nothing like you’d expect from such a high ABV. Lots of chunks at the bottom of the glass. A wheat eisbock? Awesome.

This opaque brown ale poured with a generous beige head that dwindled away in a few minutes. There is a strong fruit and spice aroma, notably banana, plum and cloves. After a couple sips, there is a peppery sensation on ones tongue and throat. This is a very interesting brew that is a delight to drink.

33cl Bottle. Dark brown color , medium brown head that quickly dissolves. Sweet aromas of raisins,plums,port wine, some wheat. Full bodied wit complex flavour that is pretty well balanced even if it is a bit on the sweet side for my taste. Very decent.

Pours and dark amber with fleeting off-white head. Fruity aroma with hints of raisin, malt, banana and other sweet goodness. Lots of flavor going on here. Sticks to the tongue. A great full bodied beer!

Super aventinus concentrate is pretty damn fine idea. Port vineous nose, banana and cloves once again and hugely malty surge when you gulp it down. Kicks ass, on par with the normal aventinus which is saying something.
