James Clay at it again, flooding the market with good beer. No complaints here. My bottle of
Schneider Weisse Tap 6 Unser Aventinus was a bit of a gusher though unfortunately, did I contaminate the drink with the yeast? No problem if I did it seems, it was a great drink nonetheless. Never had a Doppelbock before (regular or the weisse variety), didn't really know what to expect (except something pretty malty). Murky brown like river water. Clove and root beer nose plus that thing you get off Belgian Tripels (germolene, plasters, a sort of dryness type thing). Occasionally, there was a pleasant whiff of bubblegum.
Mildly carbonated, taste was raisins (bit like a quad), banana echoes and generally quite sweet overall, although the hops did seem to do well to temper that. Very smooth on the palate and an ever so slightly metalliccy essence right at the death (possibly the yeast running through it after the gush?). Want more of this.
