Weltenburger Kloster Asam Bock

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

Pours dark brown with very good carbonation which stays throughout. The looks is almost champagne like but obviously a lot darker. The nose consists of chocolate, chocolate raisin, malts, toffee and caramel. The taste has toffee and caramel with abundance. There is less of a wine mouthfeel and more of a Rollos candy mouthfeel with this. I dig the wine feel a little bit more, but this is still a wonderful beer that I will enjoy many times. Really impressive and priced very well too.

I didnt know it was so damn good when I bought it. Rich and strong flavor just as I like it. good body and mouthfeel. great beer.

Couleur brune foncée, reflets rouges, mousse beige pleinement diminuante, aucun dégagement gazeux actif lors du service. Arômes de pruneaux, de noisettes, de chocolat de malt grillé rappelant les shredded wheats. Caramel brûlé, toffee, cerise de terre et mousse de tourbe sont réunis et semble avoir trouver leur vocation. Faiblement sucrée en bouche, un brin de réchauffement de la part de l’alcool. Succulente et pleinement authentique!!! Bouteille partagée avec Joce et Léo, 24 Juin 2005.

bottle 500 ml from Alko 3,45€ EXP 25 02 2010 dark brown transparent Taste sweet dark roasted malts bready bit sticky but decent bitterness in dryer aftertaste. Better than I expected .

A little too syrupy and sweet for my taste, and the balancing bitterness seemed mostly due to its alcohol content -- by the way, my bottle said this was 6.9%. That said, it’s quite dark, rich, and tasty, I just wish the carbonation would last a bit longer. Very malty with hints of cocoa, coffee and toffee.

Dark brown with a light brown head. Very sweet smelling with hints of leather, roasted grain, caramel, and a little smoke; in a word: complex. Flavor is surprising vinous with hints of smoked and roasted malt. Thin enough to be very easy to drink, but not so thin to detract.

Tasted in Toronto from LCBO. Deep dark ruby/brown colour. Deep ruby when held up to the light. Thin off-white coloured head, but lasting. Alcohol on ratebeer says 7.2%, the listing on the back of the bottle is 6.9%. Aroma is slightly sour, with a hint of malt and very very subtle sweetness. Flavour is of burnt caramel. Deep malt flavour with a slightly tart finish.

The scent is strong and balanced with sweet fruit, dark roasts, chocolate, and oat. A dark amber-brown with off-white head, long-lasting. A slight banana and sweet yeast flavor coupled with a taste that follows the nose: fruits, roasts, and slight chocolate. Complex and delicious, superbly drinkable, and also cheap. Great beer.
