Weltenburger Kloster Asam Bock

ruby/mahogany clear color. rocky lasting dark tan head. aroma is sweet malt, raisin, toffee, pumpernickel, cocoa powder. flavor is sweet malt, some cocoa, carbonized sugar. creamy mouthfeel, mild carbonation. dry, salty, slightly bitter dark bread finish. good with sweet whole wheat bisciuts.

Handsome brown in color with hints of burgundy. Large, mostly diminishing light tan head with an alluring aroma of deep fruitiness (raisins, plums, overipen fruits), chocolate and coffee grounds. Chewy malty flavor with hints of fruits, caramel and dark malts. A lovely beer.

Poured a dark brown with reddish hues with a large light tan head that left a lacing on the glass. Aroma is what I would expect from a good doppelbock: sweet grapes and raisins. Flavor has a prominent vinuous character and a strong malt sweetness, with a mild hop kick for balance and a very sublte dryness in the finish. Body is thinner than I expected. Overall a great doppelbock.

Bottle from DougShoemaker. Deep chestnut color. Decent off-white head. Goood lacing. Sweet molasses aroma. Medium bodied. Fruity and sweet flavors. Slight hop bitterness. Good.

Tasting courtesy of Wohlfs and DougShoemaker. Pours dark brown with mahogany highlights. Decent beige head. Sweet malt fruity aroma. Flavor was all over the place. Rotten banana, syrup, sugar and some roasted malt. Very sweet overall.

Bottle: Sweet aroma. Caramel, toffee, honey, and fruit. Pours a dark semi-transparent brown with red hilights. Sweet caramel with a slight roasty nuttiness in the finish. There is a metallic taste in the finish that really hurts this beer.

(Bottle) Pours a dark brown body with a medium tan head. Aroma of malt, toffee, and raisins. Malty base flavor with some molasses. Enjoyable session beer.

Thanks to Doug for the bottle. Malty chocolate nose - slightly dusty. Creamy malt , tingly cocoa, very restrained dark fruits. Finish is superb - cocoa, dusty malt. Its almost like chewing on Crystal Malt.. That is the flavor I’m getting. Yum!
