Weltenburger Kloster Asam Bock

Brewed by Klosterbrauerei Weltenburg
Style: Doppelbock
Kelheim, Niederbayern, Germany

Pours dark brown with tan head. Aromas of brown sugar and sweet malt. Flavor is caramel, brown sugar, coffee, roasted malts and slight hops in the finish. Medium to full body with minimal carbonation and a creamy mouthfeel. Very smooth and delicious. I would have this again.

500ml bottle
6.90 % ABV
I tried this beer on March 12, 2008 after purchasing from one of the local LCBO outlets. The beer poured a very dark translucent (when held against the light) reddish brown. The head was tan-coloured. The mouthfeel was medium bodied and medium carbonation. The aroma and the flavour were both grainy malt in all it’s glory. Almost a chewy maltiness.

Pours a beautiful near-black amber with a thin pale tan head with good retention. Aroma is delicious red apples abd sweet granola. What flavour, though... wow. Wonderful sweet yeast breadiness... I’m really digging that. I’m having a tough time describing the flavours... I can imagine a nuttiness, overripe to rotten fruit (I’m talking brown, mushy peach) and maple-baked beans. Am I crazy? In short, rich dark and velvety. Body is slightly undercarbonated but oh so creamy and delicious. What a tasty, tasty beer. Thank you Robinvboyer for the trade!!!

Dark ruby colour, medium malt aroma, head retention low, this was a very nice beer just lacked a bit of depth in overall taste. Did enjoy the sweet aftertaste which complimented a Partags "Presidente" cigar. I would drink this again but would not be one that I would purposely seek out.

pours a extremely dark ruby red with decent head that lingers around edge of glass. Malty sweetness on nose reflected in taste. Perhaps a bit too sweet but not too bad. average carbonation Not overly complex beer but I enjaoy it. would buy more to have on hand when want a very drinkable sweet dark beer.

16.9 ounce bottle. This was a new style for me, and a great introduction to it. The pour delivered a beautiful brick red body surrounded by an orange aura and capped with a light tan head. The body was clear and spots of light lacing clung to the glass. The nose was an initial scent of toasted wheat bread. Other aromas were of alcohol, simmering meat, and prune, with an extremely faint bark presence, perhaps alder. The flavors allowed this lager to really shine. It started with a light sweetness that became slightly drier as it sat in the mouth. This sweetness then dryness, accompanied by light but lively carbonation, really gave the tongue a full workout. There was an alcohol presence that was subtle rather than overpowering. The primary flavor was of stew meat, which, as the lager warmed in the glass, tended toward increasing nuttiness. The wife made roast beef and potatoes. Asam Bock and the tender beef called forth additional meatiness from one another, increasing the pleasure derived from both.

POurs dark bronish red. Aroma of maltiness and nuts? Flavor is very sweet malty and bready

0,5l bottle. Dark Brown, touch of red. Massive creamlike head. Nose of roasted malts, some smokiness. Taste is dominated by roasted malts and is surprisingly bitter. Leaves a long, even salty feel in teh mouth. Pretty good beer.
