Magie und schwarze Seele: „Aventinus Eisbock“ – der mahagonifarbene, fast schwarze Eisbock für sinnlichen Genuss im Cognacschwenker. Nach spezieller Rezeptur eisgereift, mit weichem, elegantem Körper, dabei doch kräftig-intensiv verführt diese Schneider Spezialität schon beim allerersten Schluck: Geheimnisvoll offenbaren sich würzige Pflaumen-, Bananen- und Nelkenaromen mit einem Hauch von Bittermandel und Marzipan – einfach magisch. Und besonders verführerisch auch als Digestif. Oder zu Crepes, dunklen Schokoladen, Tiramisu und vollreifem Parmesan.
Aventinus, the Wheat Doppelbock of Bavaria, has always been known to be the most intense and complex wheat beer in the world. This was the case for the past sixty years, but not anymore... Up until the 1940’s, Aventinus was shipped all over Bavaria in containers lacking temperature control. Consequently, the precious drink partially froze during transportation. Unaware that the brew was concentrated by the separation of water from the liquid. People were baffled by this unique version of Aventinus. By chance, the first Aventinus Eisbock was created. Well aware of this story, Hans Peter Drexler, brewmaster of the Schneider brewery, decided to recreate this classic "mistake" in a modern controlled facility. Thus, the Aventinus Eisbock is reborn sixty years later ... Prost!

Dark brown colored, medium- beige head, nice lasting. Aroma is fruity raisins, banana, quite caramelish, bit toast, sugary, cloves and a touch of alcohol. Taste is very sweet caramel and sugary, wheat, some toasted notes, banana, raisins, clove, herbal notes, low bitterness, sweet finish, alcohol and boozy warmth. Full bodied, thick and syrupy, flat carbonation. A bit too sweet and boozy, a bit cloying as well.

Sweet taste with notes of port wine, prune, spicy yeast, roasted malts, light hop bitterness. Very boozy. Nevertheless alcohol not really accented. It’s a great experiance still the regular Aventinus is better.

Bottle from Drinks of the World. Pours hazy brown with a medium head. Boozy nose, but in a rather exciting way. Some wheat too. Sweet taste, still boozy, but I don’t mind, since it fits with the rest of the beer: Lots of fruits, heavy but not too much, fizzy carbonization.
