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

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).

Bottled. Black opaque colour, brown foamish head. Very stoutish nose, sweet malt and hints of barley. Sweet roasted malty taste with hints of bread. Breadish and a bit roasted aftertaste. A bit sticky mouthfeel.

Bloodlike, burgandy dark red, with only a cola-like fizz on top. Nice color, dissapointing head, but hey, it’s a lager. Roasted grain, and caramel nose. Taste: Caramel, toffee, with a little faint chocolate bitterness. Low carbonation and somewhat chewy. Decent body.

Thanks to rastacouere.This is a dark mohagany brew,little or no head at all.Nose is nice and malty with almost a toffee and "hidden" fruiiness.Malty at first thenbefore it gets to sweet it becomes a little roasted affair.It is a little thin but a nice brew.
