Feb 5, 2008 Draught at Bar Great Harry. Poured into the smaller (33 cl.) Aventinus glass. Dark brown with a frothy off-white head. Cookie malt aroma with clove and some fresh hay. Smooth sweet malt flavors accented by the basic banana yeast profile and a slight wheaty/lemony tartness. Lively carbonation. Nice tasting classically rounded flavors, though I can’t say I’m overly floored in the end.

Feb 4, 2008 Bottle. Pours deep hazy brown with a moderate off white head. Smells of clove and sweet malt. Taste is rich and strong with pleny of sweet but balanced with an alcohol finish. On the tounge there is a nice sensation and airy mouth feel. A very nice Doppelbock.

Feb 3, 2008 Pours a very nice, dark brown that is a tid bit murky. It smells of spices. It taste of spices and licorice and is a little bit to sweet for my taste. I did enjoy the palate, it left a nice sensation on the tongue and had a slight warming. Overall I would say that it was an ok beer but I have had better, just not my style.

Feb 3, 2008 Letdown. I thought it was too thin. Taste is sweet with malt, molasses. Little bittering finish. I appreciated the beer but expected more.

Feb 3, 2008 It’s hard not to be affected by the hype, but this beer has lots of hype and I was eagerly anticipating this one. Aventinus pours darker apple cider brown color with a huge head that dissipates very quickly. Bananas and clove are readily present in this one (lots of banana). Beer really sweetens as it warms as banana flavor goes nuts with some bubblegum thrown in. Increases in complexity dramatically as it warms.
