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!

330 mL bottle. Pours red brown with a big old off-white head. Aroma is strong, sweet, and a bit boozy with lots of raisin, grape, cloves, and nuts. Flavor is about the same, but smoothed out, with a pleasant combination of dark fruits, cloves, caramel, and nuts. I’m a bit surprised by the difference between this and regular old Aventinus. Seems good to me!

Bottle. Pours a dark brown color with a small off-white tan head. Aroma is sweet, alcohol, spices. Flavor is sweet, with noticeable alcohol burn which is present, but pretty well hidden for being 12 percent. If I had to pick one next time I was in the store, I’d just grab the regular Aventinus.

on tap at uber. dark brown, almost black pour with a significant malty sweetness to the nose and well balanced spices as well. Great palate and a smooth taste.

Bottle thanks to TheJester. Dark, murky brown pour. Minty aroma with cloves banana and strawberries and butter. Taste is strawberry-banana with a well hidden alcohol. Mouthfeel is quite full and creamy with low carbonation. This beer tastes like an aged beer. Quite delicious.

Bottled 33cl. Murky brown appearance. Banana, glue and plum in the nose. Buttery. Full bodied. Sweet. Overrated in my opinon. I didn’t enjoy it a huge deal.

blurry dark brown with beige frothy head. very sweet malty aroma with a bit of citrus and chocolate. intense deep citrus flavor, like chocolate grapefruit with alcohol sweetness. nice silky texture and medium carbonation.

Wow. Bottle pours almost ice coffee with a medium diminishing head. Nicely cloudy look. Aroma is somewhat fruit and spice. Alcohol notes are in perfect harmony with the complexity I’m not fully able to decipher. Simply fantastic.
