Weltenburger Kloster Asam-Bock
Pours a very dark brown (nearly black) with ruby highlights. A nice silky tan head that dissipated fairly quick, no lacing detected. The smell is quite complex. Roasted malt stands out, candied plums and figs, bakers chocolate. Big roast flavor on the palate offset with some dark fruit esters (plum, dark cherry), a touch of honey, finishes remarkably not bitter. The roasted malt is perfectly balanced by the back-end sweetness. The feel is creamy and low on the carbonation, leaves a slight coffee like bitterness. A very flavorful doppelbock, great balance. #200
