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.

12 oz bottle. Pours a hazy amber with a frothy white head that quickly goes to a thin film that leaves a little lacing.

The aroma is sweet caramel and toffee with some dark fruit and a little alcohol.

The flavor is sweet caramel and toffee and nuts with a little fruit leading to a lightly grassy bitterness in the finish. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with smooth carbonation.

Overall, a good example of a doppelbock. A little too much on the sweet side for me.

Pours cloudy dark brown, with a nice white head that laces out nicely. Very malty aroma with a hint of alcohol. Sweet, malty, smooth yet complex with a hint of hops on the finish. High in alcohol, yet it doesn’t show in the taste. My only complaint is this is a "knock your socks off" type of beer. Goes down smooth and after a couple...

A clear amber color with a frothy medium off-white head and good lacing. It has a sweet malt aroma with grain and hint of fruit. The body is medium with a sweet taste and finishes with a soothing alcohol warmth.

Pours reddish orange with a light, white head. You can taste the alcohol, with a malt aroma there too. Fairly drinkable, all in all a ’thumbs up’.

Wow, another one that I didn’t like that much and it’s rated 91%. Either my tastes are going bad or I got into several bad bottles.

~Strong malt aroma with some alcohol, low fruitiness. ~Pours an amber color with small white head. ~Rich malty sweet flavor with some alcohol, no hops. ~Full bodied, moderatly low carbonation, sweet toasty finish. ~ A bit sweet for me. True to style, just not my style.

I tested it for the first time in 2003 and now, 6 years later, decided to refresh my memories. As I remember it was malty, strong, filled with portwein, caramel and plum notes. Now, the palate is more simplistic and alcoholic. The colour became lighter. But, anyway, it is still quite nice brew.

This is a very good doppelbock. Pours an attractive reddish brown. Rich aroma and sweet, deep flavor. Medium bodied. Decent alcohol content I would expect from a doppelbock. The flavor is well-balanced and complex with grain, malt, nuts and fruit coming through. This is one of my favorite widely available dopplebocks, along with Spaten Optimator.
