Weihenstephaner Korbinian

Brewed by Bayerische Staatsbrauerei Weihenstephan
Style: Doppelbock
Freising, Oberbayern, Germany

Pour is ruddy dark brown with a thin sticky light brown head...smell is bright and sweet with some dates, brown sugar, cola, definitely some signature yeast...thick and soft mouthfeel, with some nice malty chewiness...the initial taste is very uninspiring...sweetness, with molasses and caramel then just prune juice...I don’t really get any of the smoke that some of the other raters mention...some nutty peanut skin flavors toward the finish...leaving sort of a copper/penny aftertaste...

on draught at the Anthill pub, early 2003. This is a very nice doppelbock. Dark brown body w/ a tan head. Nice malty taste, smooth & sweet

Bottle; pretty cheap price. Pour a darker shade of brown with a medium, very light brown. Aroma was very good with chocolate covered caramel, fruit, dough and yeasty alcohol. Very quality palate. Good taste with a high amount of complexity. A great example of the style.

Brown, red color. Small head. Quite malty and sweet. Bready flavour. Some wheat in the finish.

Bottle. Dark mahogany color with a foamy light brown head. The aroma is malty with some caramel and molasses. Mostly a full maltly body with a little nut and toast.

Clear, dark brown color, and a big, bursting pinkish brown head. Nose is a complete and utter gas! Wow! Far-flung aromatics: spices and fruit, sour cherries, grapes, sweet, rich,and invigorating! Lush mouthfeel, luxuriating, the cares of the world drift away, or they’d better, for there’s nothing that should interfere with the enjoyment of this phenomenol brew..hangs heavily in the mouth, and you want to extend any invitation and elongate it’s stay, so welcome is this delicious presence in the mouth...hedonistic, even... Medium body, delicate and delicious finish, stong malt presence. Drinks down a bit rummy, a trifle winish. Very complex and extraordinarily tasty. This one washes over you and makes it all better, like a hot bath. Wow, what a beer! One of the best doppelbocks on Earth, hands down!

Cola like coloured body with a large lasting tan coloured head. Aroma is most certainly malt, caramel and slightly roasted. Taste follows the malt aroma with more malt again, a touch of sweetness, alcohol is hidden and a creamy oily texture. Cheers!

Reddish brown, lush, perfect head that never fades away. Aroma of bread. Flavors of pumpernickel, a touch of toffee, surprisingly dry finish. Never would have picked this for a doppelbock, as I actually enjoyed the beer.
