Schneider Aventinus Weizen-Eisbock

Brewed by Weissbierbrauerei G. Schneider & Sohn
Style: Eisbock
Kelheim, Germany

Single bottle from Bev Mo Carmel Mountain. Pours a deep rusty brown with a small off white head. Great aroma of of dark and dried fruits. Rich malty flavor, a great brew.

Very strong beer that is syrup like. Good color and scent. Not my style of brew. Couldn’t appreciate it like others.

Biggups to my mate for getting me a bottle of this which he randomly found in a bottleo. Batch 2005/12081. Big rich aroma; dark plum, raisin, rich toffee, apple, clove, vinous dark cherry nuances, vanilla, chocolate and lightly roasted malts, aged dried fruit characteristics, hit of alcohol, fantastic really. Pours a viscous deep amber body with a collar of off-white lace, leaving legs on the glass. Texture is amazing, creamy carbonation, like silk over the tongue, slightly surup-like at times but carries the abv tremendously. Flavour is merely an extension of the aroma; baked apple, sherry, dark chocolate and vanilla, clove and cinnamon, muscat-like raisin, licorice, some citrus tang, I could go on and on and on, but the point is, it’s unbelievably tasty. Ridiculously long finish, slightly sweet yet with a tartness and dryness. I have to say, i’m a virgin to the style, but i’ve been seduced already!

330 ml bottle from a trade with hogtownharry. pours very dark brown with no head. good carbonation. aromas very similar to regular aventinus. dark fruits, yeast, and spice dominate. very complex flavours but nothing much different then regular aventinus. let this one warm almost to room temp if you wanna let it shine. oh and the 12% abv was not detectable by aroma or taste but i felt it half way down the glass and I was smiling like a 17 yr old boy at a tittybar by the time i was done.

Expected banana and clove aroma with a pronounced metallic quality, very tinny. Cloudy brown pour with a slowly growing thick head. Full bodied, yeasty taste of currants and cloves. Cabbage finish that sets it off pretty well. Well concealed alcohol. A very drinkable bock.

Pour is a ruby brown color with some sediment, minimal head. Fruity aroma with banana, plum, raisin, coffee, and chocolate notes. Flavor of coffee initially then the variety of fruit tastes. Warming alcohol is very present but not overwhelming. Somewhat fast finish.

Pour reminded me of a weak coffee brown with just a wisp of a head. Creamy & smooth with the taste of molasses with a not overpowering alcohol aroma and taste

Deep brown appearance with a very thin head. Strong aroma of malty and sweet fruit notes (I can never tell if they’re dates, prunes, figs...). Flavor strong with the same sweet fruity flavors but balanced out by minor toffee and bread on my palate. Excellent beer overall for a style that doesn’t get much love. Fabulous beer for a cold winter day. The higher alcohol content warms you from within, just like a glass of brandy (only this is more fun to drink!).
