As a follow-up to the Aventinus Weizenbock, I decided I needed to try the Aventinus Weizen-Eisbock, an Eisbock. The flavor was much the same, though there was a difference. The water or something was frozen to make the beer stronger and the beer had a colder feel to it (even after sitting out of the fridge for a while). The smell was of bananas and bready malt. The taste was complex. I got some fruit (again bananas) and some bready malts and a little bit of caramel and some mild spices. I also noticed a very faint hint of alcohol in the flavor (at 12% ABV, that’s not surprising), though it did not detract from the drinkability or flavor of the beer. It was very good and definitely worth a try (though I’d try the more traditional Aventinus first). If there was such a thing as a German Quadrupel, this would be it.
