Weihenstephaner Korbinian

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

Fantastic doppelbock. Weihenstephaner could put on a clinic for how to do beer right. One of my favorite doppelbocks, even better than Celebrator in my opinion. Poured a deep reddish brown. Smelled malty, chocolatey and peppery. Tasted slightly burnt; full-bodied. Traces of chestnuts or pecans and dark chocolate help to make this beer rich. There’s a pumpernickel aspect to this doppelbock as well. Hits your palate and kind of spins around your mouth. Each sip brings a richer and more well-rounded taste. Now I’m hooked. Heavy lacing and nice 1/4" off-white head that stayed floating on top, even when the beer was about half way through. Warming, smooth. I should have bought another one of these.

Deep ruby red color with a viscous tan head, beautiful pour. Nice roasty nutty, yeasty earthy sweet dark bread aromas. Medium body with light carbonation. Big malty, flavors are lightly sweet with toasted toffee, rich toasted multi grain bread (Miltons) with seeds and nuts. Mild warmth in the finish. Great Doublebock,

dark brown with a grey head. plum wheaty aroma. sweet fruit flavor that goes dusty quick. there is some toffee flavor floating in this. finish is plum with some light banana. not bad.

500 ml bottle. Pours a deep brown with a light brown head. Rich, complex, malty nose, somewhat sweet, molasses with hints of tobacco. Flavor is molasses, malt, sweet. Awesome balance achieved with the hops! About the most balanced beer I’ve had to date! As it warms a bit, some toasted flavors shine through, and bit of caramel and coffee. Finish is a touch dry, smooth and clean, leaving a bit of malt to remember it by. Body is a touch thin for a doppelbock, but it is the only tiny fault in a great beer. How can this be so cheap? At under three bucks, a huge bargain!

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.

Bottle poured a deep mahogany with an initially large and highly quaffable tan head. Aroma is dark fruits and wood, slightly mineral, but awesomely malted. (A little chocolate in there too!) Flavor was really well-done with thick malt sweetness, a hint of salty bouillon, and a consistent, bittersweet finish that lingers. Borders on "full-bodied" with a syrupy yet dry texture. Very good.

Dark ruby body, thick foamy head. Aroma is chocolate, almonds, alcohol. Very malty, the backend is very sweet like butterscotch. Presence of sugar cane is there too. A very sweet, pleasant dopplebock.

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.
