The Weltenburger Kloster Barock Dunkel is a lager, more specifically a dark brown lager (Dunkel). It's brewed by the Weltenburger Klostenbrauerei, a German monastery brewery. The brewery was founded in 1050 and claims to be the oldest monastery brewery in the world (competing with the Weihenstepan abbey brewery). The beer has won several awards, for example the World Beer cup award in 2004, 2008 and 2012 for the best Dunkel beer in the world. Can't wait to try it out!
Taste: The Weltenburger Kloster Barock Dunkel is a medium-bodied beer with a sophisticated, aroma-rich body. It delivers a smoky, roasted and bready and slightly sweet malt body. The flavor is strong, yet very pleasant and smooth. The beer finishes with a faint, yet once again very smooth hoppy bitterness.
Overall, the Weltenburger Kloster Barock Dunkel is the best Dunkel I've ever tasted. It's an incredible achievement to pack such a rich set of aromas into a market-strength beer. This beer manages to do it, and yet maintains a well-balanced and smooth aroma. It's like drinking the liquid form of the best dark bread you've ever eaten. Pure enjoyment!
