Commercial Description:
The Paulaner Salvator with its strong,typically malty taste is the original Paulaner. The bottom-fermented Doppelbock-Bier unites the finest hops and dark barley malt. The Paulaner monks served Salvator as a replacement for food at Lent. Their most famous brewer was Brother Barnabas, who was the head of the Paulaner monastery brewery starting from 1773. Its original recipe is today almost the same as it was in Barnabas' time. In order to protect the original recipe, Paulaner had the trade mark "Salvator" patented in 1896.

Hazy dark orange pour with thin white head. On the light side for a dopplebock. Nose is a whiff of alcohol with holiday pie, maybe some caramel. Palate has a fair amount of alcohol warmth with those little chocolate covered orange wedges. Malty to caramelly sweetness mid palate and then finishes with some dry chocolate and orange on the finish. Again, alcohol warmth. Even with the alcohol detected it remains fairly drinkable somehow. Not a turnoff at all.

Bottled. Pours dakr brown with a tall brown head. Aroma is sweet with notes of hops and alcohol. Taste is also sweet and very malty. Roasted malt. Full body with lots of alcohol. Thick and full body

Draft in Singapore ... not exactly where I expected to have this first. Good nose of malts and chocolate. Appearance moderate brown, small head, tanner head and lighter body than I expected, since my standard for this beer is the Ayinger. Ditto, smaller mouth than I expected. Taste of sweet malts and caramel and floral hops, with, maybe a touch of coffee, but none of the huge roasted malt coffee and chocolate bitterness of the Ayinger.

Bottle. Pours light orange with a medium head. After head dissipates, this brew is downright ominous with its bright apricot body and no carbonation! Aroma is copper, caramel, and peat. Flavor has caramel, ripe peach, milk chocolate, and cocoa. Mouthfeel is slick, but finishes a touch dry. Not sure I am completely satisfied with this beer (I am a hophead by trade), though as a Doppelbock I can appreciate it.

Pours rich amber color with an inch thick tan head. Aroma is alcohol, plum, raisin, and other dark fruits. Bitter alcohol taste, cherry, and roast characters. Good creamy texture and a sturdy bitter finish.

500 ml bottle. From Germany. Reddish amber colour with tiny tan head. Malty and buttery aroma, more like Czech Dunkel than Bock. Malts and some alcohol in flavour. Warming. Quite strong.

Bottle. Pours a bright amber with a full foamy head. Aroma is bread and raisins. Taste is malt and caramel. Sweet and smoothe. Middling carbonation gives it a richer feel than the taste itself does. Pretty consistent throughout. It’s alright, but perhaps not my taste.

(bottle). Pours a copper color. Medium size light tan head, which diminishes quickly. Sweet malt aroma. Malt and caramel tastes. Smooth finish, with light alcohol taste. Moderate carbonation.
