Weltenburger Kloster Asam Bock

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

bottle courtesy of radiomgb, pours a deep dark brown with a stiff creamy tand head that floated for a good couple of minutes. nice sweet aroma, roasted chocolate, a bit of licorice. coffee brings up the tail end of the flavor, which otherwise matches the aroma, sweet malts, chocolate and licorice, maybe a little brown sugar as well. body is a little thin, especially when you consider how dark the beer is. flavor is a little unbalanced as well, there is a grassy hop character throughout that isnt blended that well. very tasty, but just a tad off.

Bottled. Strong coffee and chocolat aroma. Dark brown color, light brown head, fair lace. Light sweet, chocolat, light roasted, coffee in the finish, short fruity moment, sugary ending, not very full bodied.

Roasted malts and caramel in the nose. Very dark brown color with an off tan head that stays. Rich and creamy roast malt flavor along with some hop bitterness and notes of toffee, coffee and butter. At nearly 7% ABV, it’s surprising that there is no hint of alcohol. This stuff is good!

Big huge honeyed-toasty-malty richness with adventurous notes of hay and barnyard, a sublimely excellent treat from Bavaria.

(on bottle - superthnx Yogi)I dunno; here we have a, to me, perfect doppelbock. And then, what can you say? It´s ust topdollar in all aspects. Dark brown, with a very small, lasting white head. The fattests chocoltae sent I ever had, along with chestnuts, malts and mustardcured ham, rich like a motherf#.Nice burned notes and a nasty good taste of a perfect roasted mix of malts; like drinking a liquid evening infront of the fire, with a good dinner in the stomak and night of filosophy and dancing ahead.

bottle from brickskeller. pours a dark brown. big off-brown head. aroma is chocolate and nuts. flavor is sweet, nutty, with medium body. pretty decent doppelbock.

A sublime German doppelbock. Poured an effervescent teak colour with ruby highlights and a 2cm tan head. Moderate head retention and some lacing. Rich vinous aroma with toffee notes, molasses, cinammon buns and some gingery alcohol. Oddly, the bottle stank of wet nappy, so I stayed the hell away from that. Thick, creamy body - in fact, I can’t think of a creamier beer. Beautifully rounded. God this is smooth. Highly malt-driven - the dominant flavours are molasses, creamy milk chocolate with a shot of sherry-like alcohol in the finish. I haven’t tasted a better doppelbock. (500ml bottle, Camperdown Cellars, best before 4/11/04 - doh!)

Hell yes. Nice, thick, dark doppelbock. Humongous tan mass of a head. Aroma is of caramel and chocolate malts, apple cinnamon muffins. Sweet. Flavor is complex - rich and creamy. Chocolate and caramel play a leading role. Toasted pecans. Nutty, with a cedar-like aspect. Persistent head and medium viscosity make it a palate’s paradise. Malts, glorious malts. A delicious doppelbock done right. This might be the epitome of German doppelbocks.
