Dec 18, 2009 Bottle. Poured dark black with far too much head. Very over carbonated. Aroma of caramel malt and banana. Banana caramel and wheat in the flavour with a hop tinge. Malty sweet finish.

Dec 18, 2009 Pours hazy dark brown with medium brownish head. Aroma is quite wheaty with some banana and plum. Flavor is much of the same, with some alcohol pushing through, but not too much. Very drinkable considering it’s strength.

Dec 16, 2009 Pours ruby brown with a medium white head that leaves some lacing. Fairly big aroma with lots of booze, dark fruits as well as some wheat beer characteristics. Taste is similar with some yeasty character, more dark fruit and some alcohol. Good flavour as well as nice and complex, just a little too alcoholic for me.

Dec 15, 2009 Gravity keg at Swift. Pours a chocolate-brown, incredibly effervescent, with a thin, fluffy beige head. Nose of heavy malts with notes of vanilla and clove. Taste has lots of malt too, and dark fruits also sneak into the picture. Full-bodied and creamy with loads of carbonation. Semi-warming from the ABV, although the alcohol was truly not that present to me. Nice, light malt finish. Strong yet restrained, this was a great beer.

Dec 14, 2009 Bottle at Malthouse, via Beerstore.co.nz. Pours murky brown. Dark, thin off white head.
Potent aromas, a banana bomb with warm alcohol. A fair amount of vanilla and cinnamon.
Intense flavour, banana, roasty malt choc. Alcoholic warmth which provides a bit of biting bitterness. This counters the big sweet bananas.
Not as balanced as the normal Aventinus, but that’s why I love it!

Dec 10, 2009 A: Pours a very effervescent dark brown color with a huge head. The head settled down nicely though to just over one finger in size.
S: There is a huge malt smell from this one. I detect hints of banana, clove, and maybe even some vanilla, pretty nice.
T: Huge alcohol taste here, a little too boozy for my liking. I realize it is 12% ABV and it shows. Behind the alcohol I could taste a molasses like sweetness along with dark fruits like figs and raisins.
M: Full bodied and carbonated, leaves a slight sting from the alcohol.
D: Not my cup of tea, one bottle was plenty.

Dec 1, 2009 Bottle, 33cl - Hazy brown beer with a small head. Aroma is malty with notes of fruits, plumes and cherries. Flavor is sweet malty with notes of vinous malt, ripe fruits, yeast and some alcohol. Very nice and sophisticated Eisbock.

Nov 30, 2009 330ml bottle, no.22205/2009, bought at the splendid shop called Bier Spezialitäten Laden in Karl Marx Allee. Decent, off-white head over a deep, dark brown body. Inviting aroma of brown malt mixed with dark fruits. Rich taste profile with spiced dark fruits, including figs and apricot, and with the adding impacts of dark wheat. Long-lived aftertaste of jam-like tartness. Vinous to the palate. Detectable alcohol, but not annoying. Maybe a bite too much on the sweet side, however, still German brew craft at its best (Agon hotel, room 802, Berlin 22.11.2009).
