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.

Clear dark amber with a biege head. Nicely balanced, some sweet malts and some darker malts as well. Very malty, like drinking bread...with a nice yeasty alcohol twist in the finish. Medium body, feels like 5.x% ABV, not ~8%. Warms as it hits the belly and cheeks. A very, very nice doppelbock (since it’s the granddaddy of ’em all) but not quite as perfect as Celebrator.

Pours a lasting ring of beige head and a clear, copper body. Smells of ripe fruit and dough. Flavor is banana, dough, caramel. Some bitterness on the finish.

Have had from a 12oz bottle and on tap. A nice rounded and balanced double bock with a sweet finish. One of the best examples.

A really nice beer, with a good, foamy head and a gorgeous amber colour. Aroma was fabulous (the malt?) as was the taste. Rich, and almost sweet in taste, this was a treat to drink.

Bottle. Pours with a nice golden copper color. Aromas of caramel and butterscotch. Flavors of dark fruit and caramel, with some nice buttery malt finish. Has abit of alcohol hotness in the finish.

Bottle pour with a nice, dark tan head that dissipated fairly quick. Very clear, copper red color. The flavor was not what I expected.....it had hints of some sweet, but slightly spicy flavors, maybe from the alcohol content?....kind of a brown sugar with maybe some cinnamon, nutmeg, clove? Not malty or hopsy at all. Palate was medium, lingered on the back of the tongue with a slight fizz. I think for comparison purposes, I would really like to try this beer on draft. I liked it, and was really trying it based on the ratings of other members. Just another foray outside my comfort zone.
