I can’t add a number to the Schneider Aventinus Weizen Eisbock only because I had it for the first time long ago. Tonight’s selection came out of the beer cellar where it had been stored since its purchase in 2009. In its two years of aging this 12% eisbock has likely advanced to at least a 16% strong beer, and it acted as such. The aroma was heavy in alcohol and the taste even moreso, balanced in a well made, malty eisbock that had smoothed considerably in its time away.

Starting to think “clearing out the cellar” isn’t going to be the hardest job I’ve had.
