Weltenburger Kloster Asam Bock

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

(Bottle) Pours beautiful dark red. Wet crisp bread and light spicy malt aroma with some German low alpha acid hops. Sweet malty flavour with some grassy hops to back it up. A bit caramelly. Lingering bready aftertaste. Medium body.

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.

50cl bottle from Tip Top. Pours with little head, no bubbles when swirling, except a little whisp in the center of the glass. the liquid is a deep rich amber color. The aroma is a familiar malty, butterscotch in a pleasant way. The flavor has some sweetness, but a tad on the the dry side for me, and finishes with a little sour roasted grain bitterness.

Bottle thanks to HogtownHarry, Thanks! Pours a dark amber body with decent size head. Aroma is malty and pleasant. Flavor is the same as the aroma with a nice molasses/syrupy texture. Very smooth. Very enjoyable.

Clear brown coloured, brown head. Roasted malty aroma. Roasted malts and brown sugar flavour. Thick mouthfeel. Pretty good bock

50cl bottle from Beverage Castle (Tampa, FL). Pours a clear dark brown-reddish color with a thick and foamy tan head that settles quickly but still laces the glass. Aroma is sweet malt, milk chocolate, banana, some hints of honey, caramel and malted milk. Flavor is pretty much the same -- lots of sweet malt, chocolate, maybe some hints of toffee, caramel and ripe fruit. Generally medium body with a sweet and slightly hoppy finish.

Bottle thanks to Eric. Pours a ruby body with a medium beige head. The aroma is full of sweet fruits, malt, and some candy. The taste exhibits many qualities of a good bock; caramel and molasses sweetness, dark fruity flavors, a touch of alcohol warmth, a smooth easy mouthfeel, and a light bitter finish. Very good. Sweet, but not too sweet.

(on bottle - superthnx Yogi)I dunno; here we have a, to me, perfect doppelbock. And then, what can you say? It´s ust topdollar in all aspects. Dark brown, with a very small, lasting white head. The fattests chocoltae sent I ever had, along with chestnuts, malts and mustardcured ham, rich like a motherf#.Nice burned notes and a nasty good taste of a perfect roasted mix of malts; like drinking a liquid evening infront of the fire, with a good dinner in the stomak and night of filosophy and dancing ahead.
