Weihenstephaner Korbinian

This is a nice, interesting doppelbock. The flavor is complex and warming and the palate is thick and luscious. The flavor has lots of bread, caramel, nuts, raisins and even wood. My main complaint is that it’s all a little too sweet for me. Some more bitterness would be very nice here.

On tap at Café Hesp, Amsterdam. Brown coloured, small brown head, dry slight roasted nose. Sweet malty, caramel and toffee with some woody notes in the finish. Some dried fruits also. Overrated beer.

Bottle. Dark brown with a big, tan head. Solid malty and nutty aroma followed by nutty and malty flavours. Well-balanced. Full-bodied. Craftmanship galore.

Bottle poured into Weihenstephan glass. Pours black/brown with ruby transparency and decent foamy beige head. Nose is sweet caramel and toffee malt. Taste is very smooth and sweet buttery caramel with sweet toffee tones and some faint plum and raisin hints. Excellent flavor and mouthfeel. I’m liking this style more and more, and this is one of the best in it.

Pours a deep dark and completely opaque Amber with a small head. Flavor that balances they sweet malt and fruity flavors with a little note of bread and roasted nuts.

Bottle. Pours like syrup into the glass. Brown, nutty color that is thick and creates a thick foamy off white head. Nose is very nutty, lacking sweetness, but a nice toasty malt note is to be had. Palate is less syrupy then the pour and provides a nice fizz and dry finish. Flavors are toasty malts with a nice nutty flavor and a clean dry finish.

Pours a dark ruby red. Smells of raisins, plums and sweet bread, taste follows nose. Sweet with a good finish. Very nice.

Deep ruby red color with a viscous tan head, beautiful pour. Nice roasty nutty, yeasty earthy sweet dark bread aromas. Medium body with light carbonation. Big malty, flavors are lightly sweet with toasted toffee, rich toasted multi grain bread (Miltons) with seeds and nuts. Mild warmth in the finish. Great Doublebock,
