129)  Home:  Aventinus Weizen Eisbok Ale by Private Weissbierbrauerei G. Schneider & Sohn of Germany:  **1/2;  12%;  this wheat doppelbock, brewed following Reinheitsgebot, was a bit of a surprise;  the flavours are very intense and with that nose, I might have mistaken this for a Belgian beer;  normally I like my bocks darker (like Growlers used to make and Duggan's, in the same location, has been known to make) but this is superb; 

Lent is not yet half over. It sure is tough giving up beer.  I would have skipped today but I couldn't let the feast of St. Clinius go by without marking it.
