Weihenstephaner Korbinian

500ml bottle, pours dark brown, looks like soda, nice malty character, very sweet, caramel and bread, sugar, very good beer indeed.

Pours dark chocolate, with a fairly dense head. Smells of malt, fine yeast, and a whiff of alcohol. At first, had a slight metallic taste, but that faded into a nice, bready, molasses flavor. Finishes with a hint of alcohol. Very, very nice Dunkle, I really like the family of Weinstephaner brews.

dark brown pour with reddish highlights. smells the way chocolate malt balls taste with some molasses. flavor is also molasses, dried figs, prunes, leather and wood but mostly molasses. alcohol comes from my nose...

great beer. Malty and yeasty aroma. Pours dark copper, very clean looking. nice looking creamy head. hop up front, malt on the back of the tongue.

500 ml bottle. Dark brown body with a small, dense beige head. Aroma has roasted malt, coffee, dry fruit and caramel. Flavor is sweet, roasted malt, coffee, caramel with a hint of liquorices and vanilla. Not much bitter and relatively light body. Very nice and refreshing.

Brown color with a nice sized, but quickly fading beige head. Thick, malty aroma with some nutty, dark fruit detectable. Taste has a nice sugary, bready sweetness with a bit of dark fruit, and smoky flavors. Seemed a tad thin and watery. Nice D-Bock thats true to style.

Espresso, chocolate, roasted nuts, and sweet black berry aroma notes. Brownish-black with sticking head. Fruity malt, espresso, and mild alcohol flavours. Smooth and well balanced.

Bottle. Ruby, clear body with a dense, beige head. Caramel, raisins, sweetness and a little earthy note in the aroma. The flavor is quite sweetish, mostly brown sugars, with caramel, dried fruits, a little roasted note, and some warming alcohol. Quite full-bodied, and finishing with a slightly roast, caramel and quite sweetness. Definately a nice brew, yet it lacks a bit to be The doppelbock. Maybe it’s a bit too sweet, hence lacking some balance. (070725)
