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.

Pours a deep caramel color with a large head that fades quickly. Aroma is quite intense and matches the taste of the beer. Rich, nutty, chocolatey, toffee taste. Sweet and creamy. Oily, silky smooth consistency. Alcohol taste is not very noticeable. Makes for a nice dessert/after dinner drink. Overall, the best dopplebock I have had to date.

Dark brown cola color with an off white head and some lacing. There is a definite malt and yeastflavor with a smooth earthy finish. A hearty brew that stood up to the brussel sprouts I had with the meal.

Big, molasses-sweet beer. Pours rudy-brown with a small tan head. Caramel aroma. Thick caramel and malt flavor that seems to coat your tongue. Alcoholic bite in the finish. Exceptionally smooth and just heavy enough to enjoy.

Brown. Sweet caramally taste. Smooth. Reminded me of a Belhaven Wee Heavy. Very Good but not great.

50 cl bottle. No yeast at the bottom. Reddish dark brown colour with a little head. Very weak aroma with hints of caramel, sweetness and maltness. Sweet flavour of chocolate and malt very clean and ends up little alcoholic.

Bottle. Opaque ruby-rosewood pour with a short yellow-tan head. Sweet fruity aroma, grape, malty, and a touch of alcohol. Typical bock taste with a little more dark malt than expected. Full-bodied and velvety smooth; not really creamy or oily, but slightly warming. Alcohol is pretty well hidden. Fruity (grape, mostly) aftertaste. Really pleasant and mild - I’d say this is a very refined Doppelbock which seduces you with subtle flavor rather than slamming you with it.

No hops present whatsover. Tasted like Malta. Too sweet for my taste. Beautiful dark ruby color with foamy tan head.
