Klosterbräu Bamberg brown beer

Because monks were also among the first to brew the finest beer in Bamberg, there are still many remnants of this era to be found today One particularly tasty relic is the Bamberg brown beer from the Klosterbräu The recipe for this traditional brew comes from a local monastery and was passed down from brewer to brewer over a period of almost 500 years The Klosterbräu used to be the prince-bishop's brown beer house, so of course a strong brown beer could not be missing from the range

The traditional example, which is still available today, brings a full 5.5% alcohol content and a heavenly symphony of three types of malt and the hop varieties Hallertauer Perle and Tradition into the glass The traditional specialty presents itself in a copper-red shining amber and crowns itself with a good amount of firm foam in ivory A bouquet of roasted malt, A bouquet of roasted malt, dark caramel, toasted hazelnuts and fruity hops rises to the nose and promises a culinary feast The first sip delivers what the olfactory first impression predicted: Full-bodied notes of soft grain, creamy toffee and caramelized nuts ensnare the palate The hops contribute a tangy fruitiness and a harmoniously balanced bitterness The quaffable beer enjoyment leads to a sweet finish with hints of caramel and malt

Unchangingly good - and has been since the Middle Ages!
