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.

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.

Although I am not a huge fan of the dopplebock style, this is definitely one of the better representations. Nose is fairly complex, a bit floral, hints of spice, slightly sourish. Decent lace when poured from the bottle into a glass. Subtle chocolate and cofee undertones, molasses and raisens also come to mind. Very easy to drink, spicy and malty, not much hops presence though (one reason I’m not a regular dopplebock guy), high abv well hidden but the slightly metallic aftertaste takes away from the overall experience. Nice warming sensation which helps make this a great winter beverage, pairing nicely with standard German fare as well as spicy Thai (which was the case with myself prior to this writing). All said, a fine and classic brew from the Munich brewery which has been around for over 360 years. Makes me proud of my German heritage. And did I mention the 7.9 abv?

Pours reddish amber, with thin slightly tan head. Caramel flavors with a yeast finish. Aromas of bread dough, toffee, and oatmeal. This is a beer to drink when its cold, not too bad.

Pours a clear amber with a creamy beige head. Aroma shows some raisins, toffee, caramel, and is somewhat lactic but is too subdued. Weak lacking flavor is similarly toffee-ish with some raisin followed by a slightly bitter toasted finish. Sweet all around. This is ok, but there’s an emptiness to the flavor that bothers me.

12/3/08 From the bottle. Aroma is warm and caramel malt forward with light dark fruit and no hop character. Appearance is clear gold with a well maintained off-white head. Flavor is rich and candilike with low earthy bittering and some citrus. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a moderate carb texture. Overall, rich but not overwhelming, lacks a little of the overly rich character one might expect.

Amber brown in color with a good sized tan head. Aromas of malt, toffee, caramel, toast and fruit. Tast is the same with a nice alcohol warmth.

Aroma de malte e toffee. Coloração caramelo avermelhada, lembrando whisky. Espuma densa. Sabor acentuadamente maltado, com predomínio de açúcares no início e amargor no final, sobrando um pouco de álcool.
