3.69/5 rDev -9.8%
look: 3.75 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75
Deep brown colour pouring with significant head and carbonation. It has a thick consistence.
Coffee and caramel smell, which are also present in the taste. Sweeter than other German bock beers like Schneider Tap 6.

3.42/5 rDev -16.4%
look: 4.25 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.25
Deep, dark coffee colors form with a beige head of 2 fingers. 100% opaque.
Roast malt, molasses, rye bread, black licorice...in that order of loudness.
Charred rye bread crusts, tons of black strap molasses, plums, more dark breads like pumpernickel, black licorice. Ends on the black licorice and some smokey malt.
Feel is carbonated and thin, on par for a lager, with a very wet feel and a smokey finish.
Overall I was hoping for more with this beer, as it's pretty hyped here. A bit overrated in my opinion. I've had better Doppelbocks both foreign and domestic to the USA, namely Spaten Optimator and Wasatch's Devistator respectively. I thought it was okay. In fact okay is the word of the day for this beer. Not terrible, not good...just...uh, yeah. Actually finding it hard to finish this one as it's a bit too harsh on the licorice and metallic malts.

4.05/5 rDev -1%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25
Some beige foam, small bubbles, cola colored body, clear
Aroma is caramell, sweet plums, banana bread, no booze
First impression is that this original German Doppelbock is more dry than many of its fellows from other breweries. This seems to accentuate the roast character of the beer, there is caramell as well but less, hop bitterness for balance is notable but only at the late aftertaste.
The body is on the thinner end of this sometimes almost sirupy style and there is a great warming from the alcohol
I think I have found a new reference for the style that I most of the time find too sweet but not this nice offering. Hope to get it more often.

look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5
L: Pours a dark cola colored beer, too dark to see through. Originally poured a large 2 finger head, very silk and sudsy though it subsides down to a film.
S: Very complex. Tons of raisin, some cherry, cola, toffee, and caramel. Very sweet aroma, very inviting.
T: Follows the nose with dark fruit notes, toffee and cola. A touch of crisp bitterness on the finish rounds things out.
F: Definately a bit heavy. The beer is well rounded though, acrid almost porter like coffee and chocolate notes lend a touch of astringency, however the beer is still quite drinkable despite its monstorous body.
O: Really was pleasantly surprised by this beer. Its definately on par with Ayinger, which is my own personal gold standard. A sipping beer that is marvelously complex yet still easy drinking.

Dark chestnut body with a creamy tan head. Lovely aromas of brown bread, lightly spiced, malts, dark fruits. Breads, earthy. A hint of bitterness on the back end. Mild sweetness. Leather and chocolate notes. This is an outstanding example of a doppelbock.

Meal replacement, indeed.
Pours a very dark cola colour; even the most aggressive pour can't muster more than a finger or so of head that recedes quickly. Smell is rich, malty (malted milk!), chocolate, sweet, sweet malt, slightly milky (not lacto-, but milk chocolate); taste delivers on these same flavour notes--what's interesting is how rich, decadent, and sweet this is, despite an attempt to dry things out with some of the malt notes. Bready, slightly doughy, and some faint herbal character. Syrupy, dense, moderate carbonation.
I like it; it fits the style. It would be absurd to complain it's *too* heavy or rich, because that's basically the style, but I'm okay with having this beer exactly once in my life (though, to be fair, I've felt similarly about *every* doppelbock I've tried).

Initial whiff was a combination of traditional bock malt and something that reminded me of a whiff from a milk carton that you are wondering if it has expired (and thankfully it hasn't!). Pours a dark brown with a slightly foamier head than typical bocks. Tastes indicate good munich malts and fairly dry. Excellent lacing. Mild carbonation (typical). I could drink this on an occasional basis. But its not very cheap. A decent bock but my preference is a little sweeter.

500ml bottle. No discernible date. Appearance: Deep brown with ruby red tint and a thick khaki head that lingers. Aroma: Raisin, cherry, fig, toasted bread, and a touch of alcohol. Taste: Rich malt sweetness, toasted bread prominent, with a strong dark fruit flavor reminiscent of plum and dark cherry. Moderate bitterness enough to balance the rich malt. Mouthfeel: Medium to heavy body with some creaminess for the style, moderate carbonation, and a hint of alcohol on the swallow. Finish: Toasted bread lingers long after the swallow with a touch of fruit. Overall: On the low end of a Doppelbock intensity scale, closer to a traditional bock in that respect. However, the rich dark fruit aroma in flavor more in line with Doppelbock. Either way, an outstanding beer. Complex aroma and flavor profile, balancing the toasted bread Munich malt character with well developed fruitiness of plums, cherries, and raisins.

Clear mahogany colour. Malts, toffee, and slightly nutty aroma. A little spicy as well. Medium to heavy-bodied, malty and sweet antrunk but phases to a pleasant slighty bitter hop and nutty aftertaste. Crisper towards the end.

Served cold from 500ml bottle into straight pilsner mug.
L) Deep chestnut brown with a reddish tinge, opaque and 2cm off-white dense head, fades quickly to 1cm. Wasn't expecting the dark colour, this is my first dunkel doppelbock.
S) Rich, deep fruity malt odour, reminiscent of some strong English ales. High ABV is evident too.
T) Very dense dark malt flavour, hints of burnt malt and of hop bitterness. The burnt flavour builds after the drink.
F) Thick mouthfeel for a lager, although very fizzy. Bitterness in the aftertaste. Lots there.
O) Wow, what a bier! Strongly recommended to anyone.

The beer pours a nice bubbly and foamy head that dissipates quickly but leaves a bit of tan and light brown lacing behind. The beer itself is a nice opaque dark brown color that just screams "heavy drinking, buddy."
The smell and taste are very interesting for a dopplebock. The beer has the expected sweet caramel malt notes with bits of toffee and maybe a light bread character but seem to also have a slight roasted quality to it as well. The contrast between the two notes definitely provide for an interesting experience and is what makes this beer worthwhile. The beer also has a slight bitter hop note.
The feel is what you would expect from a good dopplebock; smooth and heavy bodied. Although, the body feels lighter than some other ones that I have had, I won't knock any points down from it because it's definitely heavy.
Overall, a pretty interesting dopplebockj with its roasted character. I definitely recommend this.

Had in a British pub glass. Pours clear dark ruby brown with a thick clingy tan quickly receding 2” foam collar. Big bready and bread crust malt flavors and aromas with kettle sugars suggesting dry caramel and toffee, some malt and hop spice and a mild hop bitterness. Clean and smooth with a little above medium body and a little below medium carbonation. An outstanding Doppelbock.

Beautiful beer, dark, with a fluffy off white head that stuck around and left great lacing on the glass. Delicious aroma, seems to have both some dark fruit but bready in there also. Maybe even some chocolate and toffee in the background, wonderful layered aroma. Taste followed the smell, rich with dark fruit. A little creamy feel. Very solid Bock, will have to try more of their beers.

Pours translucent chocolate brown with a fairly thick light tan head. Crisp, malty aroma has an overtone of apple touched with pear. Flavor is considerably richer than the aroma, fuller in character and bringing notes of caramel and cloves into play. Mouthfeel has decent fizz, if average body. Enjoy.

Weltenburger Kloster Asam Bock has a thick, frothy, creamy, beige head, a dark brown, bubbly appearance, and moderate lacing left on the glass. The aroma is of rich, bready, malt and some strong, dark, slightly-turned fruit. Taste is of all that, with raisin and prune, with anise or licorice notes. Mouthfeel is heavy and syrupy, and Weltenburger Kloster Asam Bock finishes sloppy, sweet, and wonderful.

Poured a deep reddish-brown color, nice half inch head that receded to a quarter inch thick creamy foam. Aroma was sweet molasses, toffee and caramel with just a hint of dark stone fruits and some faint chocolate notes. The flavor was pretty close to the aroma, with a very sweet flavor, some prune, plu, caramel and chocolate flavors. The mouthfeel was luxuriously creamy and smooth, like drinking a glass of butter! This was an outstanding beer, but then again, it has been perfected for almost a thousand years, and it shows!

Pours a deep ruby color with a two finger off white head. Aroma is dark fruit, molasses, and bread. Taste is prune, molasses, other dark fruit and a breadiness. Mouthfeel is medium. Overall a nice example of the dopplebock style, not quite in the stratosphere with celebrator but quite good.
