Aroma was typical banana with some malt. Flavor was great, malty, banana-wheat. Somewhat sweet, nice alcohol bite in the finish. This beer took me by suprise, overall amazing, I love it and can’t wait for my next bottle. Bradrcr (779), Renton, Washington, USA

Aroma is rich dark fruit forward with light alcohol and a clovey background. Appearance is hazy tan with a well maintained cream colored head. Flavor is tart, candilike and rich with low alcohol. Mouthfeel is creamy, medium bodied, with a very low carb texture. Overall, very yummy and rich. vanrassel (30), Calgary, Alberta, Canada

It’s a world classic and one of my faves, starting with the pour: a towering white head over a richly-coloured mahogany body. Before the first sip, I drink in a complex aroma that includes the standard banana-clove trait, but also dried fruits, grain and a slight nuttiness. The smells carry over into the taste, but make up only a part of it: add big dark malt flavour, nutmeg, plums and a sweet finish. There’s a slight alcoholic burn, but it’s subtle considering the actual alcohol content. Full-bodied, smooth and a pleasure to drink from beginning to end. chmurarz (402), Raciborz now Legnica, Poland

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 18, 2009 Pours an appealing tan with an off-white, foamy head. Tastes like a much darker beer. Taste is sweet with noticeable hints of fruits and sugars. Very enjoyable beer. BeerDude78 (86), Denville, New Jersey, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Feb 14, 2009 Great German beer, very malty taste. Has hints of plum raisin and has a very mild aftertaste. Very tasty beer well worth trying Spinshag (3), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA does not count | 4.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 20/20 | Feb 12, 2009 This is the king of wheat double bocks. I call this my "nap" beer. I have one of these and it is a best nap ever. The sweet yeast and mellow aroma are perfect with the 8.2 ABV. The fruits and tartness are perfect. Try this and you’ll be hooked! jebb12 (39), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 20/20 | Feb 12, 2009 Like the last guy said there’s not much to this beer’s aroma. The magic’s’ in the taste. There’s chocolate, bananas, bread dough, grapes, miscellaneous fruits and strains of coffees; just great, one of a kind, hard to describe without experiencing it. The best way I know to rate beer is by comparison to other beers of the same style. However, there’s no comparing Aventinus to any of its brethren. I’ve had the dunkel wheat Franziskaner and Hacker Pschorr but they don’t seem to be playing the same game as Aventinus. World class!
