Weltenburger Kloster Asam Bock

500 ml bottle. Deep ruby red clear colour. Medium-sized beige fine-laced head with some larger bubbles. Strong distinct rich malty aroma. Toffee and raspberry notes. Hints of chocolate and raisins. Prickly sensation on the tongue. Licorice flavours balanced by smooth hop bitterness and ammonia. Very rich and smooth. Full-bodied, but far from cloying in any way. The soft hop bitterness hides much of the malty sweetness. Very drinkable. A delicious beer.

Those Germans know their beer! This doppelbock is like a scaled down version of my favorite, Ayinger. The aroma is a little weak for a doppelbock. The taste is all fruits (pear and apricot). The molasses and malt aftertaste are present but don’t come through enough to dethrone the king. All in all a very tasty beer.

500 ml bottle, Stateline Liquors. Pours a clear dark mahogany brown under a firm foamy light brown head that left some nice lacing as it receeded. Nose is heavy thick malt with some light fruity banana notes. Light toffee, alcohol, and vanilla. Flavor is slightly sweet and a little grainy with some light coffee, banana, alcohol, roast, and maple syrup. Mouthfeel is full bodied and pretty creamy in texture up front fading to a slightly sweet and cloying finish. Overall, this was a fine Doppelbock. I liked that it wasn’t overly sweet and very little alcohol apparency.

very dark pour, small beige head. Aroma is super malty, this is like a malt bomb. Bready, and chewy, like a wonderful fresh loaf of bread. THe flavour is a malt explosion, again, very reminiscent of a big fresh chewy loaf of german bready, a wodnerul sipping treat, i love it!
