Weltenburger Kloster Asam Bock

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

Bottled: Pours attractive mahogeny color with a totally retained light tan head. Aroma is nice combination of chocolate maltiness and lagered aroma. Flavor is nice: chocolate, roasted nuts, raisins, and toffee. Palate is overly thin especially relative to Celebrator. Nice beer.

Very dark brown color with red shining through, foamy tan head. Aroma is reminiscent of Salvator with the sweet malt and the wet hay. Only the sweet malt is more caramelly than it is sweet. Touches of smoke as well. Body is of licorice and a thick, bittersweet malt. Finishes with a nice complimenting hop bitterness. A fairly nice, complex doppelbock, only a touch too sweet.

Bottle 500 ml

Flavor/Palate : Solid nutty , woody bark like feel laid on malty blanket. Nutty , roasty character is quiet apparent. Texture it self if medium-full with chewy tendencies. Baltic porter like but with out extensive roastiness with dark side of imperial stout. Alcohol shown only as bottom filler. Solid brew form Kalheim.

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

Good label, good bottle, clear garnet brew with a bit stiff tan head. Chalky, slightly chocolate malt aroma. Malty, chalky, chocolatey, edgy acidity, tannic, raisins. Very full bodied, perhaps a bit pasty. Finishes off sweet and grainy. Market Square Liquors.

This is such a good beer! Dark brown with some red tones to it, a bit like cola. Delightful aroma with lots of sweet malts. Some raisen is evident and maybe a hint of cherries deep down. Flavor is also of malt and is rich and delicious. Sorry I only bought a single pint. It was thoroughly enjoyed.

Pours clear mahogany with a thin but dense white head. Light molassis, metallic aroma, still cold maybe. Taste begins with light sweetness and a mineral, earthy bitterness. Molassis for sure, really nice hops compliment this with a earthy, floral bitterness. Finish is smooth, oily, with hints of cinnamon and toasted malt. Body is straightforward, lightly viscous, slight butteriness. Quite well balanced for what it is, and much less metallic and offensve that most other bottled German offerings that make it over here.

Dark brown with no dominating taste.Very smooth and dangerously easy to drink.A little more flavour would have made it an excellent beer rather than just a very good one.
