Overview: Weihenstephaner Korbinian is a doppelbock brewed at the oldest operating brewery in the world. The Braurei Weihenstephan has been in operation since 1040, almost one thousand years of brewing beer.
Aroma:Roast, some alcohol, malt sweetness. Hints of raisins mixed with caramel. Relatively no hop aroma.
Appearance: Dark brown with small tan head that does not persist long. Clear, but can appear opaque in the right lighting (biergarten lighting perhaps). Some light ruby highlights can be barely perceived giving a light glow from light reflected off bottom of glass.
Flavor: Roasted grains and hop bitterness balance out this big beer. Some flavors of coffee and toasted cocoa. Finish shows some sweetness and occasional alcohol. Leaves a delicious roasted aftertaste. Medium body supports the flavor.
Overall Impression: For a big bock, weighing in at over 7% alcohol, the Korbinian is still a highly drinkable beer, aided in part by the good body and roasted grains that keep any alcohol slickness out of the flavor of the beer. Very smooth, rich beer with loads of malty sweetness that could sneak up on you after a few.
