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.

Sweet malt aroma, dark dark amber in colour with a large brown head. Very malty and sweet, slight bite of alcohol in it, caramel and a bit of toffee with slight bitters that hang on the roof of your mouth. Thick in body decent none-the-less.

Dark brown with nice head. Very malty, vegetables (cabbage, carrots...), "øllebrød" (danish dish made of rye bread, sugar and beer). Nice.

This was an interesting beer. Not what I was expecting, because it was a little light bodied for a duppelbock. This beer is a dark amber color; it pours a nice head that vanishes quickly. The aroma and taste if this Korbinian, is a malted caramel. If you see it at your store pick one up and give it a try.

bottled: got this on recommendation from the waitress. didnt know what i was getting due to a heavy german accent. did understand this to be their best selling 'dark'. what i didnt understand is that it was a doppelbock. on taste alone i would of said....dunkels. mahogany color with a tan creamy head. nose is mostly malty sweet. same with in the mouth following through. some plum and raisin aftertones with sweet choc malt being the dominant man. tastes like a typical dunkels to me, but its a doppelbock. not big enough in my opinion for a doppelbock beer.

Clear dark brown port under a collapsing medium light brown frothy head. Aromas pf dark caramel, smoky malt, some earthy notes, and a touch of floral hops. Medium/full bod, and a little sticky and resinous. Huge malt flavors of sweet caramel, roasted nuts, and molasses. Still, there is a nice balancing bitterness, although it still finishes a little sweet. A very good doppelback in the classic Bavarian style. It’s no Celebrator, but certainly holds its own.

Tried for the first time the other night and i had no idea what it was when i ordered it. Smoky and burnt flavor, intermixed with sweet malt. Quite excellent. Very appealing except the large amount of debris at the bottom of the bottle, which left me puzzled. Oh well, still good.
