Kloster-Doppelbock Dunkel / Poculator

Bottle from Maruhn, Darmstadt
Dark, amber-brown color; beige head. Light caramel aroma. Correct body strength; caramel aroma, with some residual sweetness, and light liquorice (that is out of place). Correct bitterness. The final is a bit metallic. Good but not exciting.

clear amber, large smooth head that doesn´t last. faint caramelly aroma, malty, dark caramel. dry dark toffee. not my kind of beer.

Great and unique! It dazzles me with the deep ruby hazy colour and the beige creamy head. Unfortunately it takes not a long time and doesn’t leave any lacing. Aroma of roasty malts and definitely some sour cherry. As you taste it attacks you with total effort. Your tounge will be numbed. Firstly light sweetness tempt me, then it turns to a complex flavour combination. This is some red grape, raisin, plums and also roasted malts with a beautiful caramel end. Soft carbonation and an overwhelming oily body. No alcohol-feeling, but if you don’t eat something before it could be brain-numbing. Aftertaste is very burnt, it almost reminds me that i’m drinking a stout. An excellent brew which alloys the stouts’ roasted malts and some ales’ fruityness, yet still an accomplished doppelbock with its absolutely full body. I like this complex kind of beers, that compel me write much about them.

Bottle. It pours a clear, ruby to brown body, topped by a minimal beige head. Dried fruits, caramel, some coffee, a little alcohol and hops, and a faint note of cellar and oxidation in the aroma. The flavor also has dried fruits up front, then a little oxidation shows up, along with caramel and roasted malt, some hops and a touch of coffee. Full-bodied and sweetish, slightly warming. Sweet, roasted finish. A pleasant one, the oxidation is pleasant, and it’s pleasantly warming. (090228)
