My grading scale

It is subjective, but I think you'll be able to understand where I'm coming from:

1-3 "Horrible" : NEVER BUY THIS!!!! (Or buy it just to see what crappy beer tastes like.)

4-5 "Ok" : These beers need a little work. Usually from a company known for another type of brew.

6-7 "Good": It's ok, for now.

8-9 "Great" : Try this at least once, you'll be happy you did :D

10!!!!! "Godly" = This is attainable, but the most subjective of all grades. If I ever give a beer a 10 it'll be because it blows your mind.

Salvator Double Bock from Paulaner

What would you come to expect from a well respected German double bock? Certainly not disappointment!

Head- Quick rising, white, 1 in. dies quickly with little to no lacing on glass.

Color- Amber with a slight haziness. no sedimentation.

Nose- Heavy malt with hints of molasses and apple pie. almost sweet with little if any trace of hoppiness.

Taste- I noted a metallic taste immediately upon pouring and swilling but it all but dissappeared after allowing it to breathe for a few minutes. s-m-o-o-t-h and THICK mouth feel with a heaviness noted even upon pouring. Instant maltiness and hints of apple spice and chickory. Almost the density of a cider though this is no surprise for an ale of this variety.

I want to get on a plane to Germany...7
