Other Information
A German version of a Belgian Christmas Ale, This Reinheitsgebot dark beer drinks smoothly and cleanly, but delivers a very direct punch. Sweet on the tongue with a roasted malt and burnt wheat taste, this ‘double bock’ beer is for serious, studied and not too frequent contemplation. Drink cold to counter act the sweetness; not recommended to accompany food. This beer is a meal in itself.

This is a very smooth dark beer. Luxuriant and sweet. It doesn’t have the same intense dark fruit flavours of other doppelbocks but it is very pleasant. Malty undertones.
Steven Allen –
This beer has a very complex flavour. A hint of ginger, caramel and lemon and then a massive Bourbon whiskey finish! If you like Jack Daniels then this is going to appeal! It is very sweet and not a beer that I’d drink in quantity, something to savour! It’s feels more like a whiskey and coke cocktail than a beer! I loved it!
Alexey Nekhaenko –
Drinks not as heavy as you’d expect but clearly leaves the mark afterwards. Complex but not excessive taste. Something for those who like tough beer evenings
Gavin H –
An excellent example of a dark Doppelbock. You know it’s a powerful beer from the first taste, plenty of malty and dark chocolate flavours coming through strongly, with the alcohol never far behind. A lovely dark maroon-brown colour and a creamy head add to the feeling that this is something special
John Sanders –
If I was told that I could only drink one beer for the rest of my life, and this Doppelbock was it, I wouldn’t complain. It is a fantastic beer, so complex with so much going on.
The pour is typical of the style – deep mahogany brown which glows almost red when you hold it up to the light, and a lovely velvety beige head deep enough to paint anyone’s moustache. The smell is incredible – acrid hops, chocolate, caramel, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, Christmas Pudding and so much fruity, spicy goodness.
Now the taste – WOW!! Chocolate, toffee, figs, prunes and coffee – not the instant stuff but a great coffee made with fresh grounds – the sweetness is there but subdued, and the warming alcohol reaches all the parts you want it to. Nothing in the mouthfeel or the aftertaste subdue this magnificent beer – silky-smooth and goes on for ever.
Simply perfect.
Kristin –
Lovely, sweet, smooth, complex. The alcohol does not dominate the taste, so you get the complexity of flavours. Very pleasant, one for my favourite list
James Murray –
Excellent dopplebock. Dark and glorious in the glass, rather sweet on the palate but packs a punch at 7.1% very drinkable at this strength and not all boozy. Delicious liquorice and toffee notes on the nose. A very pleasant beer
Sam Dutton –
Not my favourite. (I think I’ve been spoiled by Schneider Weisse.) Big flavour, but mostly quite sweet. I just didn’t get much complexity, or anything much on the nose. Don’t get me wrong — it’s a well-made, easy-drinking Doppelbock. Might have to try again!
James Bryant –
Best drunk on draft on a summer evening where it’s made at the monastery/brewery Kloster Andechs, on a hill near Herrsching beside the Ammersee SW of Munich (you can get there on the S-Bahn). A beautiful place.
I normally drink a litre, but one evening people bought me two more when I wasn’t really paying attention and although I was a little unsteady when I got up to go I had no trace of a hangover in the morning.
But even bottled it’s the best dark doppelboch that I know – drink and enjoy!
Steven Nicholas –
Decent enough DB. Dark and fruity but isn’t the smoothest. Alchohol taste comes through quite a bit but still good.
WJ –
Kloster Andechs beers are excellent. if you like bocks but have never tried a dunkel this is a good place to start as it has a pleasant sweetness than most 5% ABV dunkels do not have.
Tobias Gill –
Disappointed. I really like their Heller Bock and I love Doppelbocks in general, but this is lacking in all the interesting flavours that make the style so good.
David Levy –
My beer arrived in very good time and although there was a problem with the carrier it was resolved quickly and without fuss. I have always been very happy using Beers of Europe
Xavier Crepin –
A very nice dunkel beer, malty and easy to drink with a good value price
FoggyMountainMan –
Tough to beat the Lowenbrau Triumphator but this is very good. The best solution is to get a couple of both.
Luke Manley –
Great beer. And good value for money in this category.
Paul C –
Excellent Dopplebock.
Sweet,malty,spicy with coffee and chocolate aromas.
Smooth texture, taken slowly and cool rather than cold to appreciate the flavours.
Strong,but easily drinkable – not for the faint hearted.
