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.

Dark amber/ruby por with a large off-white head that quickly faded. Slightly hazy. Loads on clean sweet malt aroma with caramel notes. Some chocolate hints and creamy alcohol. Similarly malty flavour, quite sweet. Smooth alcohol presence. Low bitterness. Once you’ve got used to the strong sweetness and alcohol (or rather, the lack of balancing bitterness) it makes for quite an easy drinking beer. Quite full body, low carbonation. Wouldn’t have thought this would work with the sweetness but somehow it doesn’t seem out of place.

Rich dark orange in colour with a fast dissipating head. Aromas are sweet citrus and nutty with underlying grassy notes, touches of caramel too. Medium bodied with a sweet, malty, soft and creamy mouth feel, bread dough, marmalade, malt, grilled nuts, mild bitterness and fairly good length. While there will be many who enjoy this style, but if you are top-fermenting fan it may not suit.

Lots of flavors, none overpowering. I tried this side by side with Boont Amber, and compared to that the flavors seemed mild. Anyone who likes 1554 should love this. I’ve been buying Salvator by the 6 pack for 3 years, bought a 6 pack recently that tasted bad! In every other example I would rate it at least 4 out of 5!

Chestnut and lime nose with a touch of smoke. Amber with a medium yellow head.Medium body, alcohol evident. Dried leaves, grass, and horehound. Not overbearing, but not terribly flavorful either.

Sweet, aroma with notes of figs, plums and other fruits. Flavor has hints of caramel, berries and a very faint hint of hops. Mouthfeel is smooth.

From bottle, @BeerFest Israel, bronze to Orange color with medium off-white head, nicely carbonated, aroma of biscuit malt simple and pleasant, flavor of malt liquor with some coriander clove and pretty much alcohol, bitter finish, medium complexity, nice beer.

12 oz. -> pint glass. Pours a fog machine auburn, with a thick head of almond-colored, marshmallowy whip, which melted quick. Malty, slight apple, spice, soap, and grain aroma. Tastes of balanced malt - not overly sweet, but not hoppy either. Taste the apple and spice on the back end.
