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.

So here is the deal. Most bocks that I have I either like or dont like. This one I did not like all that much. It had that sweetness that I enjoy and a hint of chocolate but for some reason the maltyness seemed unbalanced and rushed. Strange in fact, it makes me think that I got a bad bottle. I understand where it is going, however I just dont think that I am ready for it.

Pours dark brown but clear. Lots of fine carbonation bubbles keep the head afloat. Aroma is quite raw. I can actually smell the roasted grain, this is a good thing. Flavor is dry, and of burnt coffee. A bit acidic as well. Ehh.

Dark red amber color with a good sized head that went down in a short time. The aroma is thick and hearty. It’s pretty full of roasted character, and some earthy sweetness. Flavor is lightly roasted, and sugary sweet. Palate is slightly bitter. This is a really well rounded beer, but not standout.

Bottle. Pours ruby with a large tanned head. Sweet malts and toffee dominate the nose. The flavour is sweet malt, caramel, toffee and dark fruit. There’s stickiness in the mouthfeel and also a light warmth from the alcohol with more sweet maltiness coming through in the finish. A classic doppelbock.

500ml bottle shared with/by illini08. superb aroma of toasty malts and caramel apples. nice appearance with a tan head upon a vigorous pour. the usual sweet doppel flavors but the alcohol shows up at the rather thin finish. a solid effort and a good doppelbock.

This was a good beer, but not the best doppelbock I have ever had. The body seemed a bit thin but everything else seemed right up to par.

Bottled, very cold. Pours similar to a cola. Nose is roasted malts and some toffee. Taste is the same with a bit of alcohol evident towards the end. One of the few Weihenstephaners that didn’t have clove flavors. Finish is bitter. Good beer, above average drinkability, but left me wanting more..
