Paulaner Salvator

I love this beer. My wife says it tastes like soy sauce, and it is May and it says it’s a seasonal. I wonder if it tastes different because of this. Nonetheless, with sushi or without, this beer is great. Does taste salty, though... Recommendation: drink this beer at room temperature (not fully cold anyway). Taste it!

Small, quickly dissipating head, pours amber. Sweet smelling aroma. Slight smoky flavor, smooth. A little too bitter, somewhat unbalanced in my opinion.

Alot like the Optimator, but way more fragrant. Aroma of honey, fig, and caramelly malt. I think I smelled a little sandalwood in there somewhere. Rich, sweet malty flavor of caramel, figs, grain, toast and cola. Softer CO2 would have for a better palate. Finish is a little less dirty than I had hoped for, but overall this is a solid doppel.

330 ml bottle. Pours a reddish-brown color, low head. Aroma has some notes of dark malts and blackcurrant leaves. The taste is a fairly good mix of sweet, juicy malts, molasses and hop bitterness. Slightly watery texture, fairly light body.

(Sample from September 29, 2006 Beer Club Meeting; 12oz bottle from World Market on March 18, 2008) One of my staples... surprising that I’m just now rating this. Lovely amber-orange color that gives you a visual peek into its sweet, slightly-strong taste. Aroma is sweet and malty. Flavor is strongly sweet and just a little spicy/nutty - just enough to balance out the sweetness. Comfortable body. Enjoyable to drink.

Red-brown with a small head that disappears quickly. Smell is sweet, with mild hops and raisins. Flavor is winey and kinda watery. Palate is thin and flat. I suspect that this is just a bad bottle. Well, okay, it’s not that bad. I just think that this is normally better.

Amber colour, medium bodied. Semi sweet taste with a creamy thick body, and a tan coloured head. Pours pleasently- aroma is reminiscent of fruit, nuts and caramel.

A great brew! Nice caramel aroma with a hearty amarillo taste. Pours dark and thick with a minor slightly darkened head. Bubbles of flavor attack the senses with a punch of sweetness and bitterness perfectly balanced. I’m recommending this for a try.
