Schneider Aventinus Weizen-Eisbock

Schneider Aventinus Weizen-Eisbock (33 cl bottle) 12%
This beer was released on the 1st of March at Systembolaget and is still available in many stores across the country.

It was originally created by mistake when a batch of the breweries Aventinus Doppelbock froze and they tried the concentrated liquid. The brewery has since then recreated the "mistake" in a controlled fashion.

Comment:
Wow! A very thick, intense, complex and high alcoholic wheat beer. I tried a Franzizkaner on the side and it tasted like water in comparison. It had allot of bananas but not only foam bananas, also some fresh bananas.

I usually prefer my wheat beers during hot summer days but this beer feels to strong for that. It might work well with certain cheeses, but I also believe this could work as an aperitif, possible coupled with a dessert. Unfortunately I didn't have any sweets to try it with at the time.

A very interesting beer that I wouldn't mind trying again. Curious on how this will evolve over time I will save a bottle for later.

Total: 4,2/5
