Eh, I wouldn't go that far. I love a good Trappist ale. Aventinus of any
variety just doesn't do it for me. I know I'm in a huge minority on that
point, but the character of weizen yeast doesn't work for me along with big
malty flavors. I don't like even plain dunkelweizen because of that.

And I don't necessarily see a lot of similarity between Trappist beers and
weizensbocks. Both can be very complex, but the yeast characters are so
extremely different.
