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

Thanks to whaleman for this... Appears a dark brown with a red hue and a 2 finger tan head that slowly fades out. Scattered lace is left around the glass. Smell is of vanilla, caramel, cocoa, and malty syrup. Taste is of the same aromas. Mouthfeel is slightly thin in a medium bodied brew featuring the cocoa, caramel with a sweetness up front.

Bottle. Extremely dark ruby beer with a creamy, rocky, lacy light brown head. Smells of sweet malt, caramel, brown sugar; even has an aromatic hop presence. Taste is sweetly malty with lots of dark ntoes and even some roasted. Brown sugar, dust, toffee, molasses, chocolate, caramel, toastmalt, touch of spiciness ... but really, the story here is the massive amount of malt. Full-bodied, alcohol is well-hidden, slightly terminal warming but not too much. Slightly sticky, but really only on the lips. Medium-dry hoppy finish. Have to force myself to slow down whilst drinking. Superb!

Bottle. Dark brown colour with a beige head. Aroma is fruity roasted coffeel. Flavour is fruity roasted coffee with elements of hop.

I gotta admit.. when these get poured into their official glass, I pour as violently as possible. Now that that’s out of the way... At $2.40 for a .5L bottle this was a steal. Deep mahogony body with a large head. Aroma is dark malts with notes of caramel, chocolate, toffee. Dangerously drinkable, very tasty. Quite sweet. Almost no hops.

This I picked up as one of three new offerings at the LCBO I decided to sample. This poured beautifuly into my pilsener glass a deep chestnut brown with a slight ring of head and some lacing. Smell is a tad metallic but has some deep roasted malt notes in there. This stuff tastes very good, roasted malts make their way through the flavor with a bitterness that quickly subsides to a remarkable smoothness. Very easy to drink, goes down very nicely. This is a great beer.

High flavors of cocoa, candied sugar, dark fruit, Licorice, cola and toffee. Lightly carbonated yet malty with low amount of hops.

Medium coarse shiny beige head disappears quickly. Deek dark red barely translucent body. Deep sweet earthy malty aroma with minty licorice and roasty chocolate notes. Harmonic and balanced. Taste is deep, sweet roasty malts with earthy licorice notes and some cinnamon. Dry roasty malty aftertaste with minty notes. Light-bodied, full-flavoured, balanced and harmonic. Delicate and powerful. An excellent doppelbock. (0.5l bottle.)
