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.

This beer confused me. It poured far lighter and had far less rich sweetness and fruitiness of any dopplebock I’ve ever had. It certainly is worlds different from Celebrator or Maximator or even Optimator. This tastes and looks more like a regular bock than a dopple. As a bock, I’d give it high marks, but it gets bumped down some for just not living up to the style. I find it hard to believe this is #6 in style. Anyway, the beer poured a golden brown with a slight amber hue, crystal clear with moderate amounts of head. The beer smells like a bock and tastes like a bock. This beer could use a bit more carbonation, a bit more hops and a bit more depth...a bit more of everything. It’s good, but nothing to rush out and buy again.

Mahogany with a nice head. The aroma has notes of malt and hops. The mouthfeel is smooth. The initial impressions in the flavour are sweet and malty with notes of dark fruit, but then comes a nice bitterness along as a good counterweight. It’s a smooth and nice doppel-bock, and my husband is very fond of it.

Extra heavy malt, a bit too sweet - only one of these at a time. Pleasant but a bit too much. Nice on a cold night, but only as a single.

Draught at Paulaner im Roten Ochsen in Cologne. Amber beer with a slow-diminishing beige head. Malty aroma with some caramel. Flavor is sweet with firm maltiness and caramel. Medium to full body and a somewhat syrupy mouthfeel. Very nice beer.

This beer has less flavor than the other doppelbocks I have tried, but it is well balanced. It is very smooth and dangerously drinkable, and I would really like to try it on tap. I put this one about even with the Optimator, but a peg below the Celebrator or Aventinus.

Nice sweet malty aroma, nice copper colour. Bit of a hoppy finish, but more malty overall and some mild spice. A decent Doppelbock.
