Weihenstephaner Korbinian

Draught at Q-Brick in Osaka. Lovely reddish brown color. Chewy, meal-like aroma of oatmeal, cereals, chocolate and biscuits. Amaxingly complex malt, with chocolate, caramel, raisins and lots of dried fruit. Creamy, smooth, chewy mouth with superbly soft malts. Fantastic.

Bottle. Pours a deep dark brown with a ruby tint. Medium tan head, nice lacing. Really funky aroma of figs, malt, and slight alcohol. Flavor is typical doppelbock, not that its a bad thing. Great balance of roasted malts and chocolate, fruity sweetness. Good earthy notes. Full bodied, warming mouthfeel. A bit of a burnt aftertaste. A delicious beer. I’m really starting to like doppelbocks a lot more.

A deliciously spicy and malty beer. Tastes heavily of caramelised bread pudding with a dusting of cinnamon. Mouthfeel is thick and comforting, but the hop balance saves it from being cloying.

A very tasty darker beer. Higher alcohol content, 7.4% alcohol, the alcohol taste is not strong. Nice dark appearance. Good mouth feel. Decently tasty beer.

Delicious looking dark brown pour. foamy and frothy tan head and lots of it. Slight alcohol nose with nuts and a bit of malt. Very smooth mouth feel. sweet nutty flavor with a balanced alcohol flavor. hard to put this one down. Sits very nicely on the palate with just a hint of alcohol.

Pours ruby/copper with a large persistent creamy head. Strong sweet malt with a bit of Vegemite (not good!), some toasty notes. A hint of noble hops and some light caramel and chocolate. Very similar flavours: sweet toasty malt, light noble hops, some toasty notes. Sweet alcohol in the finish is rather cloying. Good rich body, but needs more carbonation to dry out the finish a bit.

This is a great brew for the money! Not as good as Celebrator, kinda Celebrator light....

Very fine dark pour with little flashes of red highlights. Refreshing aroma features a light, malty sweetness and hops. This is a crisp, malty bock that is nicely balanced between brown ale like malt and zesty, nutty hops, plus a dash of bourbonesque sweetness. A very fine bock from Weihenstephaner.
