Paulaner Salvator Doppelbock
I apologize for the poor quality of the photo, I was in a bar and had to use the camera on my phone.
Paulaner Salvator is a German beer. Their brewery, Paulaner, is located in Munich. It has been around since the 1600s and was originally maintained by Minim friars, an order of Catholic Monks. Apparently this is a pretty popular beer over in Germany, I can see why it’s very good!
The beer is a dark caramel color, almost brown. It smells a bit fruity and tastes the same, plus a toffee or caramel flavor. By fruit I do not mean citrusy like other beers, and you get a taste of toffee/caramel (maybe?). I couldn’t put my finger on it but whatever it was it was very good! The beer is 7.9% alc/vol and you can taste it, it tasted great to me; it didn’t bother me that you could taste the alcohol because of the accompanying flavors.
Again, I apologize for the poor quality of the image.
As you can see the head was thin and pure white. It dissipated in a couple of minutes and left a bit of residue on the side of the glass. If you could make out the bubbles, you would see they are all very small.
All in all I give this beer a 9/10! This is the highest rated beer thus far at All Beer Blog. It deserves it, this beer tasted great, had a lot of alcohol in it and sat well in my stomach. I would definitely recommend you try this imported beer the next time you want something good to drink with your meal.
Regards!
