Schneider Aventinus Eisbock

I ordered a glass of Schneider Aventinus Eisbock at Brauhaus Schmitz while in Philadelphia. The beer pours a dark brown color with a thick frothy tan head. The aroma consists of sweet malts, raisin, alcohol, fig, dark fruit, and orange. The taste is sweet with plenty of malts, plum, fig, raisin, and an orange twist on the finish. The after taste has a bit of an alcohol bite, but nowhere near what was expected. The alcohol content is 12.0% ABV. This Eisbock was amazingly smooth for the alcohol content, and had a wonderful array of dark fruits, such as plum and raisin, balanced nicely with an orange citrus blast.
