Paulaner Salvator

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

Serve in Dimpled mug, Stein, Stem glass

Bottle 50cl. Colour is very nice and red / amber. The taste is almost similar to some Irish Red Ale but with more sugar and alcool. We can detect the typical caramalt aroma as well as german hops also. The beer is quite bitter with some spices flavours, it goes well with this kind of heavy beers.

UPDATED: OCT 14, 2007 Bottle. Amber color with a thick off white head that is fairly retentive. Nose is of caramel and malt. Taste is highly carbonated and slightly metalic. Notes of fresh bread dough, spice, a little hop, and apple are present. Finish is slightly dry and there is a hint of pear/apple and black pepper that lingers after the swallow. This is not a beer that would blow you away, but it would be a great session beer. I think that tap would be much better, and may eliminate that light metalic taste. Overall, I would have this again.
re-rate. Draft-ark amber body with a thin ring of bubbles. Nose-grape, malt liquor, frat house after a home comming kegger. taste-medium to high CO2, light grape, light metal, lightly floral, cherry Kool-Aid, light slcohol, medium to high sweetness. Kinda white fruit (lychee, grape, etc.), good use of hops, very drinkable even though it is slightly on the sweet side.

Color between amber and brown. Deep and rich. Head ample and tan and creamy. Aroma pleasant and buttery. Flavor has hint of what I think is toffee. A good, strong yet not overpowering beer.

UPDATED: MAR 22, 2009 Great beer. Malty and sweet aroma. A mix of malt sweetness, dark fruits, candy sugar. Very pleasing. The appearance is a nice copper red, also very appealing. The flavor is sweet, malty, bready, fruity. Enimently enjoyable. Nice thick mouth feel, as one would expect from a double bock. I can see how monks once brewed this beer to consume in lieu of food. The finish is perfect, a crisp hop bite. BTW, this is a re-rate, I love the beer more now than I did before.

Flaske. Mørk ravfarvet tydeligt filtreret øl. Meget smuk. Sød duft af en lettere vinøs karakter. Klart bedst frisk hvor karboneringen og den meget diskrete humle giver modspil til den kraftige sødme, ellers er der en lille tendens til for meget sødme over i den kvalmende afdeling. Men ikke i aften.

Murky red pour with thin white head. Slight scent of malt. Taste is nuts and bread, not as deep in flavor a Celebrator, but good.

UPDATED: JUL 27, 2009 Clear dark orange coloured. Lots of caramel malts and brown sugar. A bit unpleasant alcoholic finish. Reasonable doppelbock, but nothing more than that.

Very well done. Beautiful amber in color w/ slight malted nose. Perfect ballanced flavors w/ a touch of sweetness. Alcohol is well hidden. I highly recommend.
