Guide Review - Tasting Notes and Review of Paulaner Salvator Double Bock

Salvator pours with a medium butterscotch colored head. The clear body is a deep amber. Its aroma is full of sweet toffee. The flavor is full of round flavors of malt, toffee, bread, and hints of coffee. It is wonderfully complex and has a full mouthfeel. There is a hint of graininess in the finish with lingering toffee sweetness.

what a pickup!?!, Member jfive43

I thought that trying a double bock would be a nice idea since I will soon attempt my first home brew pretty soon. I didn't know that I would be trying to emulate the flavor of double bocks for the rest of eternity. If I had to compare this beer closely to another it would be like a little less roasty chimay red cap. It hits a light note with its maltiness but at the same time has a smooth buttery flavor with a hint of good things to come (alcohol). The single bocks like shiner are now a thing of the past for me. I'm wearing my big boy pants now.
