Weltenburger Kloster Asam Bock

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

Bottle. Dark red-brown with creamy beige head. Malt, caramel, sirup, chocolate, ice-coffee, with all the candy flavors in there it still manages balance. Full bodied and deliscious. My kind of doppelbock.

caramelly aroma with hint of coffee and nut; it has brown copper color with brownish head.

New beer to Florida

Pours a gloomy crimson black body and a towering tan head. The beer is nearly room temperature at this point…. The aroma and flavor are heavy with molasses, dates, raisins, and plums… dark pitted fruits rolled through molasses and peppered with spicy tobacco shavings. Suggestions of chocolate covered cherries, kilned malts, the bready smokiness of baked pumpernickel, toffee, brown sugar, coffee with sweetened cream…. A delectable treat fit for a brisk Autumn’s evening… and although the leaves are turning, it still feels like summer here in Florida...

From A Bottle.Deep dark blood red in colour with a small lasting head, aroma is of thick dark malt and yeast, taste is big,dark and malty with some dark chocolate, rich and full with a light bitter finish.Gorgeous,went down a treat.

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

Big rich malty nose, big off white head, brown in color, flavor is malty, rich delicious, lots of roasted malt and toffee. Lightly bitter finish. Very good.

After downing a bottle of Barock Dunkel, I had odds on this being a fantastic Doppel Bock. I really should have placed a bet!!! Poured into a large chalice, a short two-layered dense beige head formed atop a deep, dark ruby red body. Head lasted and left gluggy webs of lace down the glass. Strong, almost concentrated, malty and fruity nose with rich chocolate, plums, light vinous notes and a little liquorice. So thick and treacly in the mouth, very light in carbonation and made more intense by the strong concentrated flavours. Prunes, raisins and sultanas, toffee and toasted malt, and a dry vinous back that blends into a roasted malt swallow that lingers between each slow sip. Quite sweet without becoming cloying, it had a lot of fruit in the mouth once it warmed a little and really belied its almost modest alcohol level. Very strong flavoured, quite smooth and exciting to taste, this was an excellent late night sipping beer. A definitive ’in-your-face’ Doppel Bock that I will certainly taste again.
