Weltenburger Kloster Asam Bock

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

Very deep mahogany color with a small off white head. Sweet malt/molasses aroma. Starts with more sweet molasses flavor. Dark fruits and then roasted chocolate flavors. Slight bitter chocolate finish. Great beer from an historic brewery.

Bottle, from the Dodgy Deli on Cowley Road in Oxford. Beautiful brown pour, big, soft layer of light caramel foam. Sturdy, rustic bread aroma, clean and inviting. More dark bread flavor, with a lovely milk chocolate undercurrent that continues to build through the glass. Soft, full-leaning palate, just enough carbonation to keep it bright. Deeply satisfying in it’s simplicity. A final note: what’s with the bloke on the label?

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.

Simply excellent! Dark prune-like pour with nice caramello head. Lots of sugar, roasted malts, licorice, cream, some coffee, and dark over-ripe fruits. Thickened with heavy malts leaves it chewy and delicious!.

(bottle) Wow ! What a tasty heartwarming Doppelbock ! Dark brown colour with almost fizzy beige head. Roasted malts aroma with toffee and dark chocolate. A very fine dolce smoked maltiness, very smooth, almost silky with a long mocha-like dry & bitter aftertaste. This one is far away from being too sweet or alcoholic. Perfectly balanced for my kind of taste. A rather slim and that´s why perfect Doppelbock for me. The name is referring to the Bavarian architect and painter Cosmas Damian Asam (1686-1739), a master of the Rococco (late Baroque style).

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.

Dark chestnut brown, tan head, lacy. Huge aromas of molasses, bitter chocolate. Palate is rich rich malt, slightly nutty, slightly smoky. Quite a creamy mouthfeel. Fantastic!
