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.

A juggernaught of beers. Embodies the spirit of the dopplebock, pouring a dark brown wand topped with a thick fluffy tan head. Strong malty aroma and flavor. Nice malt presence sits on the back and sides of the tongue for a long semi-sweet finish. A bit of raisiny dark fruit, and a subdued bitterness shows up in the finish. Every bit a contender for Ayinger’s dopplebock. Hurray Reinheitsgebot!

Pours a dark brown with a dark tan head. Resembles a stout. Taste and aroma have hints of chocolate malt, roasted nuts and coffee. Palate is oily, and has a slightly smoky finish with a nice lingering taste of roasted malt. The alcohol content is not as evident as I expected in the aroma/taste, but the beer has a nice, chest-warming effect as a result.

Thanks to my brother (pojo41) for sharing this one with me. Poured an attractive dark brown/reddish color with a good head that didnt dissipate too quickly. Aroma was very malty. Flavor was also very malty with hints of chocolate, dark fruit, and roasted malt. Mouthfeel was good. This was a very nice doppelbock.

Bottle. Dark brown, slightly red and clear with a good head. Malt bomb of a beer, sweet caramel and toffee with some dark fruits. Super smooth texture. The end brings a long roasty, mocha-like aftertaste. Doesn’t show the ABV and is a bit too easy to drink if anything.

Aroma of dark malts, chocolate, caramel, and dark fruits. Pours brown with a fine head. Has a nice malts profile with chocolate, dark fruits, and some toast. Sweet and malty, finishes with a hint of alcohol.
