For golden moments by the fireplace: "Mein Aventinus" - the wholehearted, dark ruby coloured wheat beer, intensive and fiery, warming, well-balanced and tender. Bavaria's oldest wheat "Doppelbock" - brewed since 1907! Its sturdy body in combination with its sweet malty aroma is an invitation to profound indulgence - an ingenious blend with a strong body. Perfectly matches rustic dishes, dark roasts and sweet desserts.

Bottle 0.5 L.
Hazy, brown body, with a huge, creamy, off-white head, fully lasting with an excellent lacing.
Heavy malty and yeasty aroma: ripe banana as well as red fruits, prune, raisins and some caramel; spicy character is also present.
Intense sweet flavour with some harsh feeling due to alcohol that howeverdoes not dominate the flavour; maybe some acidic note is also present.
Medium-to full body with an oily texture; soft carbonation; light alcoholic feeling in the finish.
Very satisfactory.

Pours a rich, murky mahogany with deep ruby highlights when held against the light. A towering, frothy beige head lingers, leaving intricate lacing as it slowly recedes. The nose is an intoxicating blend of overripe banana, clove, dark caramel, and hints of raisin and fig. There’s a deep malt backbone with notes of freshly baked bread, toffee, and a touch of cocoa. The initial sip delivers waves of caramelized malt sweetness, dried dark fruit, and banana esters, balanced by the signature spicy phenols. Hints of nutmeg, vanilla, and cocoa meld seamlessly with a smooth, bready malt body. Despite its 8.2% ABV, the alcohol is remarkably well-integrated, adding warmth rather than heat.

0.5l bottle into a weissbier glass. Best before september 2024, been sitting on my shelf a while.
Orange peel, tangerines, cloves and hyacinth smell.
Big warm arrival of dried fruit. Dates, dried figs, prunes. Malt syrup. Orange peel also present in the taste.
Hint of marmite, fermented black beans. Fresh black pepper, apricots, maple sap. More and more muscovado as it warms. Complex minerality with strong fluorine overtones. Trout roe? Moutfeel similar to the ideal good coke float, although I've never had one that good.
Goes down with amazingly little effort for something above 8 abv. Will get you drunk before you have time to notice.

Warm, malty, sweet roast caramel dessert. Alcohol very hidden. A little bit of spice at the finish. An excellent beer!

Dark, cloudy brown, with smells of dried fruit, molasses, clove, bubblegum.
The taste follows. The wheat comes through biggest, but there are some yeast and dark fruit flavours one might expect from a Belgian Quad. A little bite on the backend too.
A fluffy head and mellow carbonation lends to a smooth, easy-drinking feel.
