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.

Bottle, John’s Grocery, Iowa City. Deep brown pour, lots of light tan head that fades away fairly quickly. Inky raisin and milk chocolate aroma. Soft chocolate flavor with sort of an iron/chalk edge. A bit of lingering raisin. For all the sweetness, it still presents a little thin. Not bad, but leaves me a bit indifferent.

Bottle at Farina in Albuquerque. Aroma is toasted malt; flavor is light raisin peel, the same roast and light caramel. Not as rich as Blockhead, but certainly a great example of the style.

Pours a dark brown with a moderate tan head; decent retention and lacing. Aromia is sweet malts, is per the style. Flavor is equally sweet and malty, with caramel and clover honey. The sweetness is balanced just a bit by some coffee bitterness. Thick, full mouthfeel that is still very smooth. A very nice example of a dobbelbock.

Appearance: Pours an amber brown with a 1/2 inch of dense, sudsy head. Aroma: Bready malt, and a little bit of brown sugar sweetness. Taste: Caramel malt, bready malt, plum, and hop bitterness in the finish. Mouthfeel: Creamy and thick. Overall: A flavorful, well balanced Double Bock/Doppel Bock.

Bottle from total wine. Pours a dark brown with a nice tan head. Aroma is malty and delicious. Lots of caramel, toffee, dried fruit and brown sugar. Flavor is sweet and totally malt driven. Raisins, toffee, light roast. Really a good beer. Dont know why it took me so damn long to drink and rate it!

Poured a clear dark brown with a quick dissipating head. Swore the aroma was of bath water, but maybe I had a tainted glass (so I’ll trust the aroma notes of others). Malt, caramel, coffee flavor. Medium bodied, no carbonation.

Big, dark brown pour with tan filmy head. Caramelly aroma with notes of tobacco, toffee and roasted malts. Flavor is mostly roasted malt, toffee, caramel, some coffee notes, some fruit, a little weird finish. A hearty, nice mouthfeel. Good, but not great.

This opaque brown ale poured with a fizzy beige head that bubble away. There is a treacle aroma and a hearty roasted malt flavor with a raisin finish.
