Our brewing history begins with this beer. And the history of strong beer in Bavaria – it was the Paulaner monks who invented this bottom-fermenting double bock. We have been brewing the Salvator for over 375 years – always according to the original recipe, which has been continuously refined over the years. The head is the colour of caramel and the beer is chestnut brown, combined with a seductive flavour of chocolate to give a pleasing intensity on the palate. Along with this comes the finest Munich malt, rounded off by a light note of hops in the background. Often imitated but never duplicated: The father of all double bock beers, whose names always end in “-ator”!

Doppelbocks are difficult to find in Texas, I located this one by a retailer in upstate NY. 11.2 oz bottle with the cap now lifted and headed inside of a Great Heights snifter. I am seeing a clear, shiny amber body carrying a skim of buff tan foam. The nose is grain, straw and caramel. A taste and I get baked bread, ripe fruit, sorghum, caramel and malt. Flavorful. A good beer in a style I enjoy.

Barwa ciemnego bursztynu, klarowne, piana w kolorze złamanej bieli, średnio obfita, średnio trwała.
W aromacie słodowe, nieco melanoidyn.
W smaku słodowe, umiarkowana słodycz, sporo akcentów ciemnego pieczywa, nieco melanoidyn i trawiastego chmielu.
Goryczka niska do średniej, wyczuwalna, wysycenie w normie, ciało też, dobry balans.
Przyzwoite.

Bottle from House Of Trembling Madness. Hazy amber body with a thin off-white head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of caramel, red apple, brown sugar and raisin. Flavour of toffee, dried apricot and honey. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. It’s very nice but it doesn’t have the depth or sweetness of my favourite Doppelbocks.

On tap at Hops, Crewe. Pours a cloudy dark chestnut with minimal scummy off-white head. The aroma has an enticing mix of spicy hops, toast and dried fruit. In the mouth it is sweet and tangy. Flavour has hops, dark bread, malts, caramel and fudge. Later there are hints of raisins, peel, alcoholic strength, even a touch of cherries. Finish is boozy and somewhat dry. This is rather nice – and dangerously drinkable !

Ljust kopparfärgad klar vätska med småbubbligt och kaffegräddfärgat skumlock. Fruktig och lätt brödig i aromen med antydan av gräs. Markerad maltighet utan kladd i kropen. Ren och lätt fruktig beska med en något kärv träig ton, som balanserar sötman mästerligt. Fyllig och eldig eftersmak.
