Schneider Aventinus

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

Reddish dark brown with a gem-like glow, substantially tall evenly bubbled light tan head, frothy topped and whipped with a few divets and little sparkly specks within the foam. Fades slowly to a heavy skim always present but very little lace sticking, most drips back in. Aroma is citrusy and spicy with mild lemon and orange zest mostly coming through, lighter wheat and malty sweetness, musty yeast, and clove spices engaged within. Taste is a total brigade derived from the smell, pretty sharp toned up front with a strong wheaty carbonation that grabs hold right away and sticks with ya the whole ride through. Middle strikes with a yeasty take and citrus zest of lemon and orange, carbonation finally settles out and leaves prickly notions of malted sweetness with some dark fruityness of banana and starfruit tangyness and spice that lingers with a light chewyness that smoothes it out some but that carbonation really stands out and adheres to your mouth. Quite a ride in the feel dept., lots of hold and carbonation that creates lots of those little burps at first but as it warms it mellows and becomes more gratifying. A pretty nice brew, seemingly one dimension in a way, but complex enough to keep interest and finding something new nearly every sip makes for a welcome experience and favorable enjoyment.

Nice sweet aroma, vanilla. Tastes sweet, like a belgian abbey but its german. Roasty, sweet, earthy, wheaty in the finish. 8% abv. Excellent beer! Awesome glassware too, served at Redlight Redlight

gream amount of head, lotsa caremel malt character, lotsa carbonation, some bitterness, bubble gum and banana, and a little bit of wheat on the finish

Beer pours a very dark tea color with a large soapy head. That foam lasts and leaves a significant lacing. Very appealing in appearance. First taste is of malty caramel but the caramel faded. In its place was a strong banana and clove combination that was delicious. The malt flavor remained but fell to the back. This is a wonderfully crafted beer and is a great style. This one was stumbled upon and what a great find it was!

It was interesting. I had never had a wheat/doppel mixture. It turned it into a dark wheat beer which I was on the fence about.

Not so much thick as dense. Nice sweet maltiness. It’s a bit like a piece of liquid pumpernickel with hints of dates.

Deep amber brown with a large off-white head. Aroma is of clove, prunes, raisins, date, caramel and yeast. Flavor is of toast, sweet malt, dried fruits, figs and caramel.

Pours a dark amber with a bright white head that stays throughout. Smells of chocolate and caramel. the taste is sweet chocolate and roasty. Great beer.
