Commercial Description:
Carolus Doppelbock, die Starkbierspezialität der Binding-Brauerei, wird seit über hundert Jahren in der Vorweihnachtszeit angeboten. Ihren Namen hat sie von Carolus Magnus, jenem Mann, der im Jahre 794 die "franconofurt", die Furt der Franken, das spätere Frankfurt, gründete. Am 28. Januar 1902, dem Namenstag Karls des Großen, wurde Carolus-Doppelbock zum ersten Mal ausgeschenkt. Heute wie in den Anfangsjahren schmückt ein Bild Karls des Großen das Etikett des Binding-Doppelbocks. Gezeichnet hat es der Kunstmaler Fritz Boehle. Der Freund der Brauerfamilie Binding, von ihr großzügig unterstützt, hatte den Karolinger 1914 hoch zu Roß gezeichnet und damit dem "Carolus" ein unverwechselbares Erscheinungsbild gegeben. Und so erinnert der Carolus vom Sachsenhäuser Berg mit jeder Flasche auch an die über zwölfhundert Jahre währende Geschichte Frankfurts. Mit einem Stammwürzegehalt von 18,5 Prozent und 7,5 Volumen Prozent Alkohol heizt er seinen Freunden so richtig ein. Kenner schätzen sein dunkles Funkeln und lieben den vollmundig, malzaromatischen Geschmack. Wen stört´s da schon, dass er es auf immerhin 70 Kalorien pro 100 ml bringt und damit nicht unbedingt zu den "Schlankmachern" im Binding-Bierspezialitäten Sortiment zählt. Carolus gibt´s ab Oktober bis nach Weihnachten in der 0,5 oder 0,33 Liter Flasche und frisch vom Fass. Aber aufpassen beim Autofahren: Carolus Doppelbock hat´s wirklich in sich.

Malty bit smoky aroma, that is hard to trace. Sweet flavor, peppery with some roasted malt. Hopbitter, slightly alcoholic finish. Nice doppelbock, but doesn’t stand out in any way. 5 4 7 3 12 = 3.1 A later sample impressed me much more. Deep dark brown color, creamy head. Roast aroma with cacao. Roastbitter flavor with dark chocolate. Malty sweetish. Medium to full bodied. Quite likeable, tasty doppelbock.

Bottle, 7.5%. Nicely malty flavour with a good pepperiness. Slightly oxidized, just enough so that it is good. Warming alcohol.

The bottle looks really good, the beer in the glass also. Tastes malty and strong, becomes not penetrating. Finish is a little bit alcoholic. Very drinkable and good doppelbock!

(Bottle 50 cl) Clear, reddish brown with a small, creamy, beige head. Strong aroma of roasted malt. Solid and very full body with lots of delicate, roasted malt accents. Slightly perfumy somehow - not really what you’d expect in a German beer. Discreet bitterness. 210906 and 291206

500ml bottle: dark brown in color with a full rich tan head. Not a lot of aroma. Light raisin and walnut. The flavor is a lot more alcoholic than the last doppelbock I had which was the Augustiner Maximator. Malty, yeasty flavor with a bit of dark fruits and a slight meatiness to it. Good beer but I liked the Augustiner better.

Keg
Dark amber. Just caramel aroma and flavor; good body strength, some malt, pretty strong final.

Bottle
Dark amber color; big creamy head. Very good body structure, but not enough supported by good aromas in the nose and the palate; loads of caramel, some malt.
