4.95/5 rDev +14.1%
look: 4 | smell: 5 | taste: 5 | feel: 5 | overall: 5

Pured into a pint glass.

A: Pours a dark brown/copper color that is very dynamic. Reds, yellows and browns make up the body. There is also lasting and foamy off-white head that leaves a dissipating lacing.

S: The aroma is a pleasant surprise from such a dark, harsh looking beer. It's sweet in a way. Clove touches the nose first and malts make up most of the aroma. There is a heavy earthiness to it all but the smell is weightless in a way with notes of banana and citrus punctuating it. There is also just a perfect hint of alcohol completing one of the most well-rounded but unique smells I've ever experienced.

T: Complex and transcendent. Immediately contradictory but upon reflection, complimentary. Dark and heavy with alcohol notes, but also fruity and light with malts and banana giving this beer a robust sweetness that isn't sugary or overbearing at all. A little funk, a little hops complete it all.

M: Rich, smooth, light, carbonated, it's really just perfect. There's a little bit of alcohol burn that I want to take points off for, but it is really fine and maybe even beneficial to the feel. I'm usually more harsh on feel, but this leaves me with no room to complain.

O: There are no complaints here. Aventinus is complex but immediately enjoyable. This is a beer that can change perception and change minds on a style or a brewing tradition. It has mine.

4.36/5 rDev +0.5%
look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.75 | overall: 4.25

A - mercy brown in color, with a steady stream of carbonation around the outside of the glass, 1/4" beige head with a lacing that lingers briefly before sliding down the side of the glass

S - sweet malt initially, wheat, raisins, dark fruit, muted a bit

T - met with an immediate taste of dark fruits (plums and raisins) and sugary sweetness, wheat, hints of clove and potpourri, very delightful

M - mouth coating and complex, effervescent, long finish leaving you wanting more, excellent acidity

O - My second Doppelbock in as many nights and it's amazing how well they are made. It's not fair to compare them to any other beer as it may do them an extreme disservice. Their flavors certainly makes up for were they lack in looks and smell. I have nothing but good things to say for this. If you love beer, then this is a must try.
