Weltenburger Kloster Asam Bock

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

Nice dark brown color,small but long lived tan head.Roasted malt aroma with some sweet tones to it with the usual minute amount of hops in the presence.Sweet malt taste,nice and dark with a lingering sweet taste,mild hop presence.Kind of a mild heavy feel that doesn't detract from the brew at all.some hints of caramel and maybe dark chocolate.The after taste is pretty malty,sweet and mildly hoped with a slight chocolate hint in there.Well worth the trade and even better is thetaste it beter then some other brews i' ve had lately.

Deep caramel color with shaveing cream head. Aromas are caramel and some dark fruits. Sweet and malty. Flavors are still malty, but not so fruity. Caramel and roasted malts. A burnt bitter on the finish. Not bad

Will this be taken as blasphemy? For some it may..but i would say the last 10 German dopples i’ve had have been weak and some have been a little metallicy- but this one was super tastey. Dark brownish black but somewhat translucent colour with a big tan head. Biscuity malt notes, caramel, toast and a hint of nutmeg flavour. Taste reminds me of a charleston chew. Aroma is malty and rich and very pleasent.

Huge head in this dark doppelbock that appears amber-tinged under light. Wonderful candy aroma with a full, rich, sweet body. A dessert beer highly desirable during winter weather. The rich roasted malt candy sweetness is followed by a slight dry, burnt finish. I am not usually an aficionado of sweet beers, but this offering is superlatively crafted.

500 ml bottle: poured dark brown with a medium sized tan head. Rich aroma of caramel malt, dark fruit, a touch of chocolate. Flavor is full with lots of roasted malt, caramel, some hops, and chocolate. A bit of sweetness initially followed up by a moderately dry finish. Good.

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.

I gotta admit.. when these get poured into their official glass, I pour as violently as possible. Now that that’s out of the way... At $2.40 for a .5L bottle this was a steal. Deep mahogony body with a large head. Aroma is dark malts with notes of caramel, chocolate, toffee. Dangerously drinkable, very tasty. Quite sweet. Almost no hops.

Tap at Berlin beerfest. Pours deep brown with beige head. Aroma is sweet caramel and grains. Taste is lightly roasted with caramel, light coffee and some dark fruits (cherry/prunes). Well balanced, highly drinkable and the highlight of my tastings at the Berlin beertfets 2008.
