When I saw Tap 6 on the label I thought they had a new
version of my favorite Aventinus. I
looked it up and no it is not a new version just new labeling. The best thing to me is the new price … it
was only 4 bucks. It was running around
5.50 for a bottle. The first review of this beer was back in 2010.
Appearance: brown caramel body with a two finger bone white
head that stays around a ½ finger till I finished the glass …. Little spot of
lacing here or there
Aroma: rich malts; light toasted sweet caramel and fresh wheat
front and center or is it the scents of banana, candied dark fruit, hint of
clove - front and center; which-ever … it is great, very solid complexity; here
is the best part … the aroma only gets better with each sip
Flavors: the flavor reminds me of dark spice fruit bread;
dark bread, yeast, sweet golden raisin, and a faint touch of clove swirling
around; there is a little sweet red banana bubble gum on the back of the palate
Mouthfeel: smooth, creamy, low to no carbonation,
medium-full body, very complex on the nose and complex on the palate
To the Point: this is one great beer. Years ago when I had it for the first time
(the beer) … it was love at first sip.
