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.

(bottle coded 0188): Pours a ruby-brownisn body. Big creamy off-tan head, lasting. Malty caramel roasted aromas. Some dark fruit, plum or so. Caramel, roasted flavors. A little coffee, a little semi-sweet chocolate. A tiny bit of nuttiness. Very good.

Gorgeous chestnust color though with a faded head. Pleasantly intense malt ball aroma and dusted malt, exquisitely well-rounded. Med-um-body that is slightly watery for a doppelbock, but posses a flavorful malty component, again of malt balls and some bitter-sourness on the finish. A solid example of the style. Perhaps some smoked Rauch malt is used as well.

Poured a deep, opaque dark brown to light black thickness with a 1 finger head, the head eventually settled into a slick of foam that coalesced around the shoulders; no lacing adhered during the tasting; nose of banana, clove, ginger, malt, toffee and molasses, complex, Flavors of the nose w/ the complexity seemed to strike a more even balance in the mouth. Mouthfeel was light considering the bold nose and flavors. Not much carbonation present and alcohol was very well-hidden. Definately worth a try.

Dark brown with a malty aroma. Full bodied and moderalty sweet with a nice lingering finish left me wanting more. One of the best Dopplebocks I’ve had in a while. I realized this was a great beer when half was gone in just a few moments.

16 oz bottle purchased at Spirits RB. Mostly sweet aroma with notes of raisin, dark fruit, slightly sugary and a touch of smoke in the background. The sweetnes translates into the flavor nicely with lots of dark fruit showing up from the malts, molassess and some black liquorice. Very solid beer that was a pleasant suprise.

16oz bottle. I found this in a small bottle shop in Milford, DE. The heavy malt aroma was overwhelming, but enticing. It was thick, chewy and very sweet on the palate. This reminded me of a malt liqour more than a beer. A good brew.
