A double bock beer that has what it takes. Not just for lovers of strong beer. With a malty aroma and great taste, our Korbinian is a true beer speciality. It goes well with smoked meat and fish as well as wild roasts and fowl.

Color is a deep dark amber with good carbonation and a thin head. Aroma is a fruity roasted scent. Taste is roasted, sweet and smoky. Starting with a medium body it goes down easy with a sweet nip on the end. Finish comes on with some dried fruit ( raisin and prune ) then a roasted flavor with a touch of smoke and very easy bitterness. Overall this is a tasty brew with a nice balanced flavor.

Bottle. Pours with a light brown, bubbly head and a very dark mahogany body. Good lace. Aroma of bananas, rummy, alcohol, patent leather, chocolate, raisins, cinnamon, molasses, and caramelized mini wheats. Taste chocolate, light coffee roast, wheat, banana, vanilla,and sweetness. syrupy mouthfeel and light bubbles.

16.9 oz bottle from Market of Choice. Dark amber pour with a nice small beige colored head. Very pleasant roasted caramel flavor with some molasses and chewy nut flavors. Very nice nutty and caramelly aroma as well. My third straight winner from the oldest brewery in the world.

Has roasted and caramel malt smell. Pours a dark amber color that appears clear with a rich eighth inch biege head. Too dark to see anything. Smooth roasted caramel taste throughout not burnt. Moderate to full bodied and resiny not syrupy or watery with lively soft carbonation. Very smooth, with a hint of being chewy, a session Doppelbock that is not to sweet.

Pours dark brown with a fizzy, beige head; looks very much like a cola in the glass. Malt aromas of hazelnuts and toast with a hint of dates; no hop bouquet. Thankfully not as sweet as many doppelbocks but not as complex either. Caramell and prune up front finishing with leather, molasses and grain husk qualities that are not entirely pleasant. A bit of an aged hop flavor, perhaps? Body is thin for the style. I really want to like this beer, but the finish is just not tasty.
