Weltenburger Kloster Asam Bock

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

Poured dark red with beige hilly head. Heavy sweet malt aroma with fruits and nuts. Rich taste of fruits, malts, and honey, much like the aroma. Smooth and full bodied, great.

Bottle at Funky Buddha/Case and Keg tasting. Nice dark brown/reddish pour wtih a good sized off white head. Aroma is loaded with sweet malt, nuts, bread, and dark fruit. Flavor follows the nose as you dive into dried fruits, sweet malt, honey and nuts. Really nice.

Shared with 17thfloor. Pours a a deep ruby brown with a nice billowing tan head. Aroma is your nice nutty malt and caramel sweetness. Only a little disappointing in its lack of punch. Hints of dark fruits and nicely toasty bread. Flavor starts with a very rich toffee and sweet malts. Gains a very nice fruity edge that gives it a superb balance to the nutty and woody character. Finishes with a very rich and fulfilling character. Just tasted some walnut or almond fresh nut lingering. Really nice all around flavor from start to finish. Medium to full body and a rich carbonation. Almost to the level of Celebrator, lacking in aroma but a damn good flavor. Very tasty beer.

Rich candyish and toffeeish aroma, somewhat bready and refreshing. Dark somewhat hazy brown color, large foamy tan head. Rich candyish flavor. Smooth and not cloying. Medium bodied and finishes easily.

Deep garnet in color, the head is average, the lace falls in the same category. Nose is malt, some caramel tones also noticed, maybe some peat, or smokeyness. Front is malt and a touch of sweetness present, the top is light, the finish is highly acidic, dry, and a nice hop presence also noted. A quite drinkable beer, and well worth the sampling, not the greatest bock, ’Celebrator’, Spaten Optimator, Paulaner Salvator, top my list. Ranks #334 on my current 1000 master beer list.

Malty, lightly sweet chocolate, caramel and spice cake aroma. Dark brownish-red in color, appreciable head and effervescence. Flavor possesses a good deal of malt sweetness, with some light smokiness, toffee and raisin. Indulgent, almost creamy mouthfeel, yet the body is not heavy, and it has a very reasonable degree of drinkability. Smooth, malty finish and aftertaste. Good stuff, cheers herb.

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.

Clear dark brown color, small lasting brown head. Aroma of roasted malts, licorice, coffee and vegetable (laurel perhaps indeed). Taste is complex of roasted malts, licorice. Very nice doppelbock indeed!
