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.

Pours a clear dark amber, very thin head. This was very very sweet big caramel, brown sugar taste, with a very nutty and malty aftertaste.

Poured clear brown with a dense one-finger head, ok retention and minimal lacing. Strong malt notes on the nose, featuring toffee and caramel. Taste is similar, with a hint of bitterness toward the end. Medium to full bodied, lightly carbonated, and a full toasted malt aftertaste.

Amber colour, off-white head. Aroma of toasted malts. Flavour has roasted malts, toffee and spices. Alcohol well noticable. Ok beer.

Bottle into Sam Adams Lager glass. Pours clear, dark amber, with a creamy off-white head that fades into a thin cap. Very translucent, and a bit off from what I’ve come to consider as the norm for the style. Nose is very malty, lots of toffee and caramel notes, with a big, fruity presence too - caramel covered apples, only with a bit of a toasty, molasses-like lightly bitter presence in there as well. Taste is generally caramel sweetness, some lightly toasty bitterness in the back of the mouth that never emerges entirely from the malty sweetness, and resembles, again, molasses, or slightly-burned caramelized sugar. Toasty at points. A lightly fruity presence on the finish, which like the nose, comes across as caramel-covered apples. The nose and the taste with this one seem to mirror each other quite closely. Mouthfeel is a bit syrupy, low carbonation. Sticky. Maybe a bit undercarbonated. Certainly not my favorite dopple bock. To me, this one almost comes across more as an English Barleywine. Still, It’s a pleasant beer, and I wouldn’t turn one down - there are just a number of examples of this style I’d pursue first (Curator, Korbinian, Celebrator, Troegenator...).

Aroma- Strong malt aroma, modest toasty, minimal hops, no diacetyl, low fruity esters of prunes and dark fruit, moderate alcohol Appearance- Dark amber hue with orange highlights, good clarity, minimal off-white head quickly dissipates, minimal legs Flavors- Rich and thick caramel flavors, significant melanoidins and moderate toasty flavors, clean lager yeast, no diacetyl, light essence of dark fruits, light alcohol smoothness near the end, slight hop bitterness, sweet finish Mouthfeel- Full-bodied, moderate carbonation, very smooth texture Overall- The prototype doppelbock style, rich and sweet malts dominate throughout with a smooth and creamy texture, very clean and crisp flavors, easy-drinking as the alcohol is well masked behind the malt profile, no discernible flaws here

More of an amber to yellow apeparance. Forms a medium tan colored head. Easy taste that doesn’t cause a smirk. Goes down smoothly with no bitterness.
