UPDATED: AUG 22, 2009 Date: November 17, 2004 Mode: Bottle Source: Tasting Appearance: dark amber, headless Aroma: sweet malty aroma Flavor: rich malt flavor, too simple, may need to age a bit Date: May 05, 2005 picking up some nice spicy character, light bitterness, redeemed and needs more study Date: August 20, 2006 Mode: draft Source: brick s
UPDATED: OCT 22, 2007 I like the Weizen-bock much better. The palate on this one is very heavy and syrupy. Lots of bubbles in my glass, but the palate is smooth. Aroma is sweet and alcoholic. The flavor really bothers me. Its VERY sweet--raisins, plums, banana. Upfront the flavor is nice, but it leaves an aftertaste that reminds me of vomit.
UPDATED: DEC 16, 2007 Aventinus...hm. I did not really enjoy this beer but i understand why everyone else would. You can taste some alcohol - but not 12%. Aroma is raisin and wheat. Extremely complex - i get it, just didnt rub me the right way.
