Schneider Aventinus

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

Dark brown/black, nice brown head. Fruity, crisp flavor. A WeiZen Bock to die for. This beer is oh so good!

I love this beer.

Holy shit this is great! The wheat and spices are perfeectly balanced with a nice peppery finsh. A must try on draft.

As far as I could tell this is the same beer as Ommegang Hennepin. I really enjoyed it, but it tasted exactly the same.

as amazed as i was the first time i tried this diamond from the boys over there at Schnider. beautiful ruby color, amazing thick head that lasts to the last sip. Give me a 30-pack of this stuff! Now.

One of my favorites. I like to drink it only slightly chilled in order for the falvors to come through. Nice.

Nice head that remained for the duration as a light ring. Reddish-brown color. Sweet, fruity nose with a touch of clovers. Malty somewhat carbonated intro with a super smooth mouth that transitioned to a milk chocolate and malty finish with hints of overripe bananas. The alcohol is present but not cloying. Some smokiness is detectable in the aftertaste. I forgot how good this beer is. I felt like I was in Germany and Austria again.

My first review, so take with a grain of salt. This is just what my young palate was able to pick up. Poured a dark ruby color with a beautiful off-white inch thick head. Nose was slightly chocolate, fruity banana-like esthers. I drank some without the yeast, and some with: w/out: crisp carbonation up front leading to pleasant sweetness in the middle with tons of flavor and complexity I cannot even begin to describe (maybe one day). I did pick up on the spicy clove finish that the bottle describes, and finally an alcoholic warming of the tongue. with: raisney fruitiness giving way to yeasty flavor. Flavors similar to w/out but even more complex and pleasing. The mouthfeel was creamy and smooth--about what I expected. I drank this slightly hungry just to make sure I could get it all down, but I ended up still getting quite full from this beer. I’m sure experience BAs could handle it with no problem, but I got quite full and surely felt that 8.2%. It’s very deceptive. Make sure you take you time with this one. I imagine this would go well with grilled pork chops.
