Weltenburger Kloster Asam Bock

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

Dark brown with a touch of red in the light. Light brown head fades every so slowly. Malty aroma, raisin, plumb, pear, caramel. Flavor starts off smooth on tip of tounge and quickly fades into bitterness on the sides. Tis indeed a full-bodied, dark strong beer. Sticky, heavy mouthfeel. Aftertaste lingers a while. This isn’t my favorite beer style but I must admit its a good one.

500ml Bottle: Sweet mother this surprised me, it’s amazing. Pours a deep brown with red hues around the edges, with a taupe head that sadly disappeared too quickly. Aroma of molasses and brown sugar with roasted malts, perfection. Flavour put a smile on my face immediately, an instant classic. Caramel sweetness offset with roasted malts and chocolate, it’s the perfect blend for a bock. Beautiful aftertaste. I can’t praise this one enough, you need to try it.

This is a wonderful doppelbock, that really shows off the fact that these do not have to be sickenly sweet in style. This has a nice rich, and medium bodied, flavor that is somewhat dry on the palate. Granted it is bittersweet, but not sweet to the point of irritation. Caramel maltiness, with an even amount of roastiness, somewhat earthy, but very clean, with a lingering finish of black tea and cooked grains.

Bottle. Pours chestnut brown with a beige head. Sweet, earthy aroma with caramel and chocolate notes as well as some dark fruit. Sweet roasted (or even burnt) caramel flavours with nuts and raisins. Medium-bodied (expected a fuller body for all this taste), overall nice mouthfeel.

An old favorite of mine, having one now, time to rate! Pours a nice dark ruby/brown,with a large fluffy head that’s gone quickly, sweet but not sticky, clean aftertaste, easy drinking. Caramel, earthy, Sweet, but subdued. Great beer,Great drinker!

Rick brown color with a lighter colored brown, big bubbled head. Aroma is mostly burnt caramel and chocolate. Taste is smokey with a richer amount of caramel than the aroma. This is one fucking great beer. I like that there’s not a sickeningly sweet amount of sugar in this. The mouthfeel and body are just perfect. Nice dryness and an almost charcoal taste, like ashed paper instead of a charcoal fire. Maybe burnt marshmallows and chocolate. Gimme s’more!

Large brown head of fine dense bubbles. Light carbonation. Head retention is very good. Sweet and malty aroma with molasses, raisins and brown sugar. Little acidic nose. Color is a very dark crimson brown. Sweet and malty flavor with a lot of molasses. Some roasted grains and more raisins. Maybe a little maple also. Finish is sweet and slick. Alcohol is hidden very well. A pretty good dopplebock.

Thanks to Mane for this from Germany! Too bad it went bad... i could smell and taste a delicious nuty, roasted background with some fruitiness.. behinde the metalic and acid sunburnt beer. Ill have to retaste someday, i feel it could have been great.. meanwhile il just score it to par with average.
