Apr 19, 2008 Full malt backbone. Not too much carbonation with lacey pour. Low bitterness. A flowery sweetness in the first sip. I like it, and always have. A model of consistency from year to year.

Apr 18, 2008 6-pack from Total Wine, River Edge, NJ...bottle pours clear copper with an off-white head...mildly sweet aroma, kind of like candy corn...flavor is mildly sweet too, malts, bit of a metallic aftertaste...kind of reminds me of the "Old Speckled Hen" but better...this is the fourth Doppel I’ve rated (not OSH which is an ESB) and they’ve all been drastically different...keeping me honest...

Apr 17, 2008 Clear amber pour with small off-white head. Loads of malt on the nose. Sweet, but not overly so. Really lovely aroma. Taste is sweet but not cloying. Mild fruit taste... apple, golden raisin, more malt, a little yeast. This is a pleasant brew.

Apr 17, 2008 Had this one bottled in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, thanks Slothgar! An outstanding dopplebock, probably the best I’ve ever had. Dark orange pour with a bubbly white head, sweet, molassasy nose, very clean taste, sweet and uncomplicated, raisin, apple and allspice. Strong finish yet very highly drinkable. Outstanding.

Apr 17, 2008 Bottle. Moderate aromas of light bread and nutty for the malt, light notes of herbs and earth for the hops and yeast, and a background of toffee and a hint of alcohol. Head is small, fizzy, off-white, with good lacing and is fully diminishing. Color is a clear reddish brown. Flavor starts moderately sweet and finishes moderately sweet and lightly acidic and bitter. Palate is light to medium, slightly creamy and has a lively carbonation. It finishes lightly alcoholic. An excellent beer to accompany a german game type dinner.

Apr 16, 2008 Sweet, heavy aroma of caramel and roasted malt. Solid amber, clear pour. Full mouth feel with a long finish. Heavy malt taste with little hops. Hints of grape and black pepper, and something bourbon-like, almost like it has been cask aged. It is smooth and easy to drink. Salvator, the Savior, is to have been the beverage that got monks and/or priests through Lent and periods of fasting because of it’s bread like filling effect (perhaps that was before Paulaner took over its brewing). Now that I think about it - there is a certain rye bread quality to the taste. One of my favorites.

Apr 15, 2008 Molasses and fruity sweetness with a subtle banana clove yeast smell. Thick body, chewy, hearty, alcohol burn on the way down. Finishes smooth and fades quickly.
