Weltenburger Kloster Asam Bock

Nearly black with a huge tan head. Smells like sweet bread, malt, molasses, and chocolate.Taste starts with dark cherry and plum with a little bit of sweetness fade to chocolate ending with a malty bitterness. Very smooth and enjoyable.Full bodied and complex. Easy to drink even at 7.2% ABV.

Bottle at Funky Buddha/Case and Keg tasting. Nice dark brown/reddish pour wtih a good sized off white head. Aroma is loaded with sweet malt, nuts, bread, and dark fruit. Flavor follows the nose as you dive into dried fruits, sweet malt, honey and nuts. Really nice.

20090208 500ml bottle from State Line. Deep brown color with crazy, thick, dense, beige head of tight foam. Immediate sheeting lace. Waiting and waiting for the head to dissipate so that I can taste the stuff, I enjoy deep nutty aromas, roasted hazelnut, milk duds, creme brulee, light coffee, and mild smokiness. Finally. Creamy texture is coating and lightly bitter to finish. Flavors are rich, lush, nutty, malty, and lightly sweet. More light coffee, then caramel, nutella, and molasses cookie. Ah, this is a nice beer.

(500ml bottle from Fat Cat Norwich) Dark red colour with an off white head that disappears quickly. Smells of rich plum, sweet fruit and malt. Feels warm and thick in the mouth. Tastes of dark berries and fruits with brown sugar and toast overtones. Caramel too, and a tiny hint of chocolate. Very nice, the first doppelbock I’ve had and certainly not the last. Perfect as a winter warmer, the flavours blend beautifully together to create a rich, taste centric malty beer that can only be pleasing.

500ml bottle. The aroma is malty, bready and toasty with dark fruits (figs/dates). The mouthfeel is killer. Malty, bready, toasty flavor with dark fruits and a floral finish. This is a beer for people that appreciate a well done, malt-centric beer.

bottle - Pours deep amber with a thin tan, fading head. The aroma is rich caramel malt with some dark fruit accents. The dark fruit notes come through nicely in the sweet flavor. It’s medium bodied. There’s just a touch of bitterness in a mostly malt finish that includes some noticeable but gentle alcohol presence. As one might expect, there are definite similarities to their Barock Dunkel, which I drank yesterday, but the doppelbock version is of course bigger and more flavorful, especially in how much better the fruit notes come through. Very tasty.

Pours a dark brown color with a quickly disappearing tan head. Sweet aroma, lots of caramel and bready. Again, sweet caramel dominates the body, bready, tasty. Even with all that sweetness, definitely easy to drink. Top notch.

Pours like a cola. Transparent reddish brown, with a fizzy head that’s thick, but dissipates fairly quickly. Gets much better from there, though. Brown sugar and dark fruits are predominant in the aroma and the flavor. It’s a bit sweet, but stays dry - very tasty, and very easy to drink.
