G. Schneider & Sohn Aventinus Eisbock (12%)

Aventinus EisbockWhat can I say?
Many of you will already have tried this beer.
Did I say tried?
I meant experienced.
This is an extraordinary beer.
A German wheat equivalent of a Trappist Triple.
Or something.
Eisbock pours a delicious purple brown with a creamy head and smells of woody liquorice fruit cake.
This is a BIG beer, full and round and packed with flavour.
It’s sticky with honey, candle wax, aniseed, rum, black cherries, rye bread and sage.
There are fence posts in here, damp with rain, mushrooms at their base, and an apple strudel as big as a dinner plate.
Eisbock is warm and breathless, a late night caller wooing you with Cognac and Munchies, salted peanuts, gorse bushes and Stollen cake.
Big and mental and brilliant, I wish I had another bottle.
