Commercial Description:
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 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.

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.

sweet roasty molasses flavor - bitterness at the end. feel on the tongue is creamy-great slurping, less so simply sipping. smells like bananas. I think I really like dopplebocks. I could only drink a bit of this, but while its happening, so good.
