Sweet, heavy aroma of caramel and roasted malt. Solid amber, clear pour. Full mouth feel with a long finish. Heavy malt taste with little hops. Hints of grape and black pepper, and something bourbon-like, almost like it has been cask aged. It is smooth and easy to drink. Salvator, the Savior, is to have been the beverage that got monks and/or priests through Lent and periods of fasting because of it’s bread like filling effect (perhaps that was before Paulaner took over its brewing). Now that I think about it - there is a certain rye bread quality to the taste. One of my favorites.

Jul 11, 2008 12 ounce bottle- poured a rich amber-gold with a fair, but short-lived head. Aroma was dried fruit. Taste was dark fruit and very slightly floral. Very nice. Big points for the silky smooth palate. A good one.

Jul 10, 2008 Bottle. Dark ruby, dissipating head. Sweet aroma of burnt sugar and caramel malts. Sweet spicy flavour of dark fruits and dark sugar with a distinct alcohol sting. Very nice cookie dough finish. Like a less refined Belgian, but great value for money.

Jul 10, 2008 On tap @ Ølbaren. Clear and deep amber coloured with a medium sized wihte head. Ok balanced - a bit to the sweet side - notes of bread, caramel, metal and hops.

Jul 9, 2008 Bottle from By The Bottle in Vancouver, WA--Poured a dark amber-brown body with a fluffy two-finger off-white head. Fruity, sweet, malty, nutty, roasted, and chewy. Sweet, acidic, tart, sweet, mildly cloying, and boozy. Nice clove and banana spice hints. Complex and dessert-worthy. Very good beer!
