Weltenburger Kloster Asam Bock

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

Pours dark brown with a tan head. Aroma of molasses, chocolate and toffee. Taste is a full body caramel, toffee with a light bitterness. Oh man this is good.

pours a dark brown color with a tan head that had great retention, but no lacing. Aroma was of nice Molasses notes and mild bread. Flavor seemed a bit lacking. A good sweet syrup flavor and not much in the way of bready malt notes. Body a a creamy sensation. Nice but could have been more.

Really suprised to see such high marks for this beer. I really didn’t think it was all that, and I could think of a dozen or more dopplebocks that I enjoyed more but are lower rated.

The beer pours out a beautiful mahogany brown color, creamy 2" thick light tan head. The body looks almost purple if you stare at it long enough. Aroma is toasted bread, sour malts, molasses a bit of roasted pepper. Flavor has some light molasses notes, and a mineral water like taste...reminds me of sour/tart malts...hard to describe. Some burnt toast also peeks it’s head out. Honestly, it gets a score a bit higher than it should because it looks beautiful in the glass. The aroma and flavor just aren’t all that.

Pours dark brown with light brown head. Powerful malt aroma. Very pleasant taste and velvety mouthfeel. An excellent bock.

Dark ruby brown with a firm and lasting tan head. Intense sweet bready malt aroma, with dried fruits, molasses, cognac. Rich and sweet malt and caramel flavour, with darker notes of licorice and dark molasses. It’s sweet, but balanced enough.

Bottled sample. Red-brown in colour with moderate carbonation. Aromas of sweet malts, plum, cooked sugar, wet stones, and a whiff of smoke. Strong toffee-like malt flavors in the mouth, along with notes of black licorice, mild chocolate, bread dough, and flint. In spite of all of the malt focus, the sweetness is kept right in check by the mineral-like acidity. Very well balanced for someone like me who prefers their beers on the dryer side. Well done

pleasant aroma with notes of caramel, lemony citrus, and candy-like spice; tasty bittersweet flavor with notes of grape tasting fruit, caramel, and a little of that spice; smooth, definitely; good beer - would consider it a regular bock, however.

Extremely bitter, headless, unremarkable. bread crust and alcohol flavors. Not pleasant. I like my doppelbock sweet, and this was far from it. $4 half liter bottle at Zeke’s Miami Beach.
