Weihenstephaner Korbinian

Brewed by Bayerische Staatsbrauerei Weihenstephan
Style: Doppelbock
Freising, Oberbayern, Germany

Bottle Pours a dark brown that lets a fair bit of light through around the edges. There is enough head that I would guess that I’ve only got 8 ounces or so in my pint glass. Aromas are of roasted malt, nuts and damp earth. Flavor, mouthfeel and palate are all very lovely except for a slight bit of cloying sweetness that I detect from time to time... not every sip, but it’s there enough to get a little annoying. Still, very nice drink.

Pint bottle- poured out a beautiful mahogany brown-amber with a dark khaki head. Aroma was malty with a coffee back. Taste was excellent, toasty malt and nuts with a sweet finish. Palate was good for a Doppelbock, very smooth. Would be great with a hearty beef dinner. Liked it a lot.

Clear amber beer with a small off-white head. Malty aroma with toffee, brown sugar and molasses. Dry but rich malty flavour, tasty and drinkable for the style.

Pours dark dark brown, very malty aroma, just what you would expect from a doppelbock. Flavor is extremely smooth, nothing overpowering about this at all, and surprisingly easy to drink. This is one of my favorite doppelbocks so far.

Clear even brown color. Frothy tan head of tiny foam rather than big bubbles. Carbonation is active but hard to spot in the deep brown color. Sweet aroma thats predominately malt and caramel with an apple tinge to boot. Its a sweet flavored brew thanks to the double malt. The taste is fruity as well with the apple. Its well flavored to handle the high gravity and high alcohol content. Palate is remarkably light and quenching for this heavy style. A great job. This company might have a future (j/k).

Poured into a 500ml glass stein, which shows off it’s thick, light-brown head beautifully. Lacing is wet, sparse as the head dissipates. Color is deep mohogany, a dark-red/deep brown color. Absolutely a beautiful beer. Aroma reminds me of a real German beer - a sweet malt, slight yeast. First thing I noticed about the taste was the cold, all-encomassing crispness, then a sweet bitterness that focuses on the center of the tongue and cheeks. Second sip tastes a bit more bitter, but leaves no pronounced aftertaste. The more I drink the more I taste the grain. A very decent doppelbock. I’d love to see this available at the local pub!!!

Clear and dark brown in color with an ok tan colored head. Sweet, maple syrup, and nutty malty smell. Sticky, sweet, nutty, malty in the taste. Just allright I hoped there was more.

Poured a rich dark brown with a tan off white head. Rather enjoyed this, close to the Ayinger but maybe not as robust and flavorful. Malts and a toffee presence, relatively mild, tinge of sweet and maybe a little dry bitterness, good and drinkable.
