Although it might not exactly be a bargain for your wallet, it is for beer lovers.

Vintage Cellars in Newtown currently have a quickly depleting supply of Aventinus Eisbock (bottle numbered series).

Going at 11.99 per bottle, and a must try if you have never had it before it is without a doubt the most complex [and best], intense dark wheat beer in the world.

11.99 per bottle

Is that a 750ml?

Cheers,
Greg

i think the eisbock bottle is under 500ml?

Correct! Eisbock is 330ml (3.1SDPB). In fact, i'm drinking one right now (from my 2 cases ). Bottle number is; 048754.

This is of course, next to my 30 double magnums of 2002 Chimary Grande Reserve.

DARK BEERS UNITE!

In fact, here is the next one i'm going to drink!

Double Magnum is a 3L bottle

Largest bottle I've ever seen is a Nebuchadnezzar in the historical display at Seppeltsfield, holds 15L and is the largest normal wine bottle. Sparkling wine bottles get as large as the Sovereign at 25L.

I love wheat beer but have never had a dark wheat;I Prefer dry wheat styles so do you think this is worth a go..

You should try everything once (well, almost everything )
