Paulaner Salvator

Brewed by Paulaner Brauerei (Schörghuber)
Style: Doppelbock
Munich, Germany

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.

Aroma - great aroma of prune-like fruit and malty nose App - rich but clear brown color, tan long-lasting head. Flavor - malt forward, delicious dark fruit flavors, hops in the background Palate - medium carbonation, body is just right, alcohol perceptible but not overwhelming Overall - wonderful beer that’s hard to stop at one! You can’t beat the aroma and flavor.

50cl bottle poured into a dimpled mug. Pours a beautiful amber brown with one finger tan head. Aroma is caramel, licorice, a bit of vanilla, and a hint of alcohol. Flavor is maple syrup, licorice, slight citrus, a bit of alcohol, and some hoppy bitterness in the end. Heavy and filling. Well balanced. A complex and interesting beer. Delicious.

Bottle. Poured turbid ruddy amber with a thick foamy tan head. Aroma was bubblegum, licorice, maple syrup, fig, and somewhat grassy and floral at the end. Flavor was orangey sweet, maple syrup, molasses, licorice, honey, and finishes nicely spicy and hoppy. Palate was robust and had a nice finishing burn. Overall reminded me somewhat of rum.

Poured a deep rusty orange with an off-white head that died - leaving only a bare minimum residue clinging to the glass like a sugar coated margareta rim. A good ammount of minute particles are suspended within the beer. That being said, this is a really clear brew. Malts, caramel and weak molasses dominate the aroma with some over-sweet fruit hiding behind that. Quite complex in flavor it tasted like a weak tawny port with the usual well done yummy malts. Combined with the alcoholic strength is a soft rum taste. All the hard work that this beer does to keep you more than interested goes for naught if it warms too much - don’t let it happen. Enjoy, but enjoy at a steady pace.

given the other recent ratings, maybe i either wasnt in the mood for this tonight, or i just got a bad bottle. but i found it kinda blah. it pours dark ruby red with a decent ivory head. aroma is nicely spiced and malty. put the flavor didnt have much profile other than some malt flavor and a little alcohol burn. just not that interesting. not bad just ok.

A solid doppelbock. The color is right on and so is the pour. The taste wasn’t what I expected, but nothing skunky or bad about this beer. A good drink overall.
