Weltenburger Kloster Asam Bock

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

Bottle. Deep ruby, decent fine-laced head. Nose rich with fruit and leather. Starts sweet, but quickly brings forth flavors of roasted malt, raisins, plums. Finishes dry and roasty. An exceptional example of style.

Bottle. dark brown with a moderate white head. Dryish dark fruit aroma with some toffee sweetness. Very sweet flavour with a dryish finish. Like the Andechser doppelbock, this was too sweet and clinical for me.

50cl bottle at Kalmar Nation. Dark deep red color with a minimal tan head. Aroma is sweet bread, toffee, brown sugar, and raisins. Very sweet, malt domination, caramelized sugars and almost no hops, with a thick and slightly sticky body with softer carbonation. It’s a tasty beer, but the sweetness and thickness become somewhat cloying by the end.

Aroma is a sweet roasted malt scent. Color is deep dark amber with good carbonation and a loose thin head. Taste is crisp and roasted. Starting with a medium body it goes down with crisp feel. Finish comes in with creamy caramel taste that is followed by roasted flavor and a very mild bitterness. You can taste the alcohol a bit and there is a slight European taste that I feel is present in most imports. Overall its a very taste brew and a very good Doppelbock.

pours dark mahogany that looks deep blood red when held to the light. The head is a super dense and sudsy tan / orange color. The aroma has thick bready toffee, soda shop malt, caramel and dates. Medium / full body with underscored prickly carbonation. The flavor starts with malt that is dark and toasted (far from roasted) with caramel, berries and anise. The finish is a bit spicier with some medicinal qualities. The aroma on this was great and the taste was just fair.

This was a delicious bock! Nice color, balance, and flavor...this is definitely one to enjoy during the cooler months.

Deep brown/ruby with not too much head. Musty, chocolate malts come off at first as well as some dark fruits, plums, figs and rasins with touches of vanilla, and smoke. There are also subtle but frequent souring touches across the tounge, with an almost citric effect on the tastebuds. The toasted malts come across mid-palate yeilding to a dusty-smokey dryness with lingering fruit notes towards the finish which is fairly lasting. Not too bad although the dude on the label is kind of creepy.

Poured a clear golden chestnut color with a small off-white head. The aroma was malty with caramel and fruity notes. Hint of smoke and light chocolate. Malty caramel flavor with some sweetness.
