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”!

Bottle at home. Pours dark amber to brown. Small white head. Smell and taste are caramelly, the traditional maltyness of a dippelbock. It'd pretty thin for the style though, and not that intensely flavored. The specific bottle I had, had mild oxidation on top, but I won't take that into count for the actual beer itself ( this was perhaps a tad older bottle?). Not bad, but certainly not great between the best of the style.

Creamy & fluffy just white head left a good cover on a reddish brown still body. Minimal aroma of malt, caramel & spice. Medium to full bodied sticky, smooth & creamy on the palate with heavy cloying finish. Heavy malt, brown sugar, dark berries, citrus hints & a bitter spicy finish

500ml can. Pours hazy amber with a medium-sized off-white head. Aroma is caramel, toasted malt, dried fruit. Taste is medium sweet, caramel, nuts and a touch of spicy hops. Finish is sweet and slightly alcoholic. Very decent.
