Weltenburger Kloster Asam Bock

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.

From A Bottle.Deep dark blood red in colour with a small lasting head, aroma is of thick dark malt and yeast, taste is big,dark and malty with some dark chocolate, rich and full with a light bitter finish.Gorgeous,went down a treat.

0.5l Bottle. Ruby brown in color with a nice fluffy tan head. Slightly cardboard sherried Malt aroma. Chocolate and caramel notes. Very malty aroma. Rich. Full bodied. Good beer. Enjoyable.

Like to qualify this 0.5l bottle first by saying that is is evidently old. I have had this before when it was coming into NJ relatively fresh a few years ago (by the cas!). Now I wonder if this is even being imported to the US at all! Anyway, Clear ruby brown, nice tan head. Slightly cardboard sherried malt aroma. Mig lucious malts present here, and the mouth feel is second to none. I noted protein rings on tho bottom of the bottle, so this brew may be 2 years old or more. Still excellent, but fresh is always best for this brew.

Big head, which slowly dissipates. A strong, " full " aroma. There’s not much room for anything else. Chocolate, toffee, caramel, and alcohol, all are abundant. The taste is very sweet, but with a dry finish.

(bottle) Wow ! What a tasty heartwarming Doppelbock ! Dark brown colour with almost fizzy beige head. Roasted malts aroma with toffee and dark chocolate. A very fine dolce smoked maltiness, very smooth, almost silky with a long mocha-like dry & bitter aftertaste. This one is far away from being too sweet or alcoholic. Perfectly balanced for my kind of taste. A rather slim and that´s why perfect Doppelbock for me. The name is referring to the Bavarian architect and painter Cosmas Damian Asam (1686-1739), a master of the Rococco (late Baroque style).
