Paulaner Salvator

Brewed by Paulaner Brauerei (Schörghuber)
Style: Doppelbock
Munich, Germany

Poured Dark Amber Color, wasnt expecting that. 1 finger head that went away quickly. Really nice aroma, kinda nutty, kinda sweet. Lots of flavor in this one for sure. Getting more of that nutty flavor, some bitterness but well balanced. Not getting as much chocolatey flavor as im use to with a double bock, but this one is still pretty darn good. Overall this is one solid brew. And if im using a value scale this one I would give it an A+, but take price out of the equation and this is a solid b+ maybe an A for me!

...bottle. Poured a nice looking darkish orange amber, with a small white head that for some reason didn’t last. On the nose was lots of caramel malt, hops, and a little hint of spice. Flavor was mainly malt, with nice nutty overtones, and the hops. Very well balanced, and easy to drink. Body seemed medium, went down well and had that nice Paulaner consistancy. Very low carbonation, finished dry with hoppy notes, and just a hint of alcohol. Was pretty damn good.

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.

A very easy Doppelbock. lightly carbonated, toasted malt, toffee and spice. Rich and nice.

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...).

12 oz. bottle. poured an amber/orange with an off white head. aroma of caramel malt, spices, and some orange zest. flavor was caramel, spices, alcohol and a nice bitter. medium body with high carbonation. i was surprised this was as good as it was.
