Klosterbräu Bamberg brown beer

Because monks were also among the first in Bamberg to brew the finest beer, there are still numerous remnants of this era to be found today. One particularly tasty relic is the Bamberg brown beer from the monastery brewery. The recipe for this traditional brew comes from a local monastery and has been 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, has a full 5.5% alcohol content and a heavenly symphony of three types of malt and the hop varieties Hallertauer Perle and Tradition. The traditional specialty presents itself in a bright copper-red amber and is crowned with a good amount of firm foam in ivory. A bouquet of roasted malt, dark caramel, toasted hazelnuts and fruity hops rises to the nose and promises a culinary feast. The first taste 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 palatable beer enjoyment leads to a sweet finish with hints of caramel and malt.

Unchangingly good - and has been since the Middle Ages!
