Weihenstephaner Korbinian

Pours a deep amber color with a slight off white head. Aroma is sweet malts and molasses. Flavor is sweet and roasted malts.

Bottle; Nose of malty grain with a little molasses and and faint hop note; Clear brown with a medium beige head; flavor of molasses, caramel, brown sugar, and raisins. A super malty dopplebock!

(sample from irishboy)figs,raisins,brown sugar,and loads of molasses make up the aroma and flavor.

Very dark transparant red with a large fluffy head. Malty aroma of maple syrup, caramel, dark fruit, bubblegum and licorice. Strong & complex taste of maple syrup, some saltiness (soy sauce), spices, roastiness, and sweet caramel. Great complexity in the malt profile. Slight yeastiness showed up but the hops were far away in the background and barely noticable. Very long malty sweet & salt finish. Soft mouthfeel, velvety but not without carbonation. Quite different from the more traditional doppelbocks but very good.

500ml bottle. pours deep brown w/slight ruby tint. the head seems a bit watery, with little retention. aromas aren’t too potent, but a good mix of anisette, slight cinnamon (mirrored in taste), sugar, and mineral-esque. the roasted malts really peak mid-palate, and there are raisin and dried apricot undertones. the finish is ever so slightly similar to a sour ale. more herbs are apparent on the back palate. good beer, different, but one i’d probably buy (again)

Bottle 50 cl (thanks rickgordon). Clear dark reddish brown, beige head. Roasted malt aroma, along with dried fruits. Full bodied and smooth. Well balanced with an initial mild sweetness, and a dry and moderately bitter finish.
