Weihenstephaner Korbinian

Our Korbinian, the full-bodied, dark Doppelbock with light brown foam, wins beer-lovers over with a balance of fruity hints of plums and figs, a dark malt aroma - reminiscent of toffee, nuts and chocolate. Its roasted flavour goes well with smoked meat and fish as well as venison and poultry. Brewed according to our centuries-old brewing tradition on the Weihenstephan hill.

Aromas of dry dark fruits, caramel, some chocolate, nuts, liquorice and brown sugar. Taste has all the same notes detected in the aroma, dry dark fruit, caramel, chocolate, liquorice and brown sugar. Quite sweet and syrupy. Fullish body with a fairly smooth oily mouthfeel. A rather rich but also sweet beer at the same time. Not one of my favourites if I’m honest but i appreciate it’s quality.

3.9 500ml bottle from Beers of Europe, Norfolk. This is the last of my big BoE German haul. Sigh. Ruddy brown and clear with a ring of beige head. Big stone fruit and caramel aroma, complex in a simple sort of way. Taste is sweet and sugary with a light bitterness following quickly on. Long finish of dates and molasses. Body's fairly weak for a doppelbock. But it's gorgeous. Special stuff.

3.7 Espuma fina, corta. Color Negro, opaco. Aroma muy agradable, intenso, a plátano Maduro con fondo fuerte a Malta, bastante dulzón. Sabor intenso a Malta, con agradable equilibrio amargo, sin mucha complejidad en el retrogusto, con escasa acidez y plenitud oral de pan de centeno. Su punto débil: cuerpo suave, poco astringente y con poca oleosidad. Puede deberse a que sea de botella y no de grifo.
