Apr 26, 2008 Bottle #2008/05714, 330ml. A cloudy, very dark brown colour. A very strong aroma, with raisins. malt, caramel and brown sugar. Taste has more raisin, a pronounced malt flavour, hints of coffee, cherry, and liquorice. Some hints of wheat and yeast also. Moderate carbonation. A fantastic taste, somewhat reminiscent of a Christmas pudding. Damm, this is good!

Apr 25, 2008 4 year old cellared bottle. Pours dark brown with just a faint dappling of tan bubbles. Smells of alcohol, dark fruit (mostly raisins, some plums, some cherries), sugar, earthy. Tastes of molasses, roasted malt, a lot of residual sugar that balances out the percievable alcohol nicely, some spicy elements, licorice. Mouthfeel is full bodies and oily. Finish yields some sweetness and warming alcohol. I don’t think I could drink more than a few ounces of this at a time, but it would make for a great desert drink in place of a cordial.

Apr 25, 2008 33cl bottle. Dark brown with a red tinge and a nice creamy head that settles into a nice ring. Fruitcake, cotton candy, and a shot of mild alcohol in the aroma. Sweet berries and burnt sugar, with a very slight tartness showing. The alcohol comes in and dries up the finish. Thick with lower carbonation. Feels almost like a stronger sipping alcohol, but the flavors stay balanced within reason. I can tell that there is a weizenbock down there somewhere, but the massive amount of alcohol kinda squashes all the other flavor nuances. Pretty nice, but just really intense.

Apr 17, 2008 Bottle. Cloudy amber pour with a thick off-white head. Nose of bananas, cloves, alcohol. Great flavor: big and malty, sweet and rich. Thick on the palate. Beer concentrate. Like this one quite a bit.

Apr 12, 2008 Bottle number 055959 *. I’m a great fan of the regular aventinus, so I was looking forward to this one. Sweet aroma with a lot of caramel, spice, candy cane and alcohol. The flavours are dissapointing though: cloying and thick sweet alcohol with syrup, brown sugar, spice and banana.

Apr 11, 2008 11.2oz bottle, 2007 Vintage. Pours a dark, clear coffee color with a fleeting white head. Aroma is sweet and rich, with a strong roasted malt character complemented by spices, caramel, dark fruit, and a bit of syrupy hops. Taste is fairly full, with a powerful but smooth taste of alcohol, roasted malt, and dark fruit, giving way to a lingering sweeter finish of banana, brown sugar, and spices. A rich and delicious winter warmer.

Apr 11, 2008 [Courtesy of fonefan - to celebrate my 1400th rating] Dark brown with medium off white head. Sweet aroma with roasted malt, caramel and overripe fruits. Sweet complex flavor with roasted malt, overripe fruits and chocolate notes. Alcohol well hidden and it warms you up nicely in the end. Best german beer by far!
