Weltenburger Kloster Barock Dunkel

Brewed by Klosterbrauerei Weltenburg
Style: Dunkel
Kelheim, Niederbayern, Germany

Bottle from K-citymarket Sello, Espoo. Malty and chocolatey aroma. Reddish brown beer with white lace. Tastes sweetly malty and a bit nutty and chocolatey. Quite nice body for only 4,7% beer and overall a good beer in this ABV. Big brother Asam Bock is one of my favourites.

500 ML bottle in Germany. Dark brown nice partly see through color. Light brown head. Aroma is hard to pinpoint but a fastastic aroma, wonderful. A high class beer. Claims the oldest Dunkel of the world, might be, but it is one of the best for sure. The standard others are set. A wonderful flavor of many tastes. Again hard to say them all. I like this better than their Bock.

Good brew! Served with a full foamy, frothy light tan head and a little lace. Head settled down to a thin cover shortly. Color is a lovely, clear, deep, dark amber. Aroma is malty and a bit roasty with a hint of burnt sugar. Flavor is quite nice with the above nose qualities plus a bit of hop. Good carbonation tho the liquid seems just a tad thin. Very nice finish. Definitely a session beer.

Reddish/brown (cola) coloured, medium sized beige head, dry nutty caramel nose. Sweet malty (light roasted also), milk chocolate and some herbs with notes of chestnut and hops in the finish. Drinkable but pretty average dunkel.

On tap at the Malt House: Poured a dark mahogany, fairly clear, nice sized head with decent retention. Very suprised how bright and light it was for a dunkel. Quite a bit of caramel malt. A little toasty as well. Finishes rich and smooth.

Poured a dark, slightly brownish red with a small-medium lovely thick off white head that went away relatively fast. Sweet grainy malt aroma, roasty and coffeeish but kinda akin to dog food... ugh. People seem to enjoy this kind of aroma looking at this and Asam Bock but it’s a bit off putting for me... The taste is malty again, dominated by a similar roasty coffeeish maltiness that sometimes ventures into dog food territory but not nearly as much as the doppelbock did. Light herbal, lightly acidic hop aftertaste. Didn’t like it at first but it grew on me later on. It’s a solid dunkel and I can respect it.

Clear dark reddish-brown pour with a tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, sweetness. Roasted malt, little nutty, sweetness, dry finish. Goes down easy. A good beer for under $2.50. Lacing minimal.

A Mes rate. Bottle from some random offy, drunk in the most random venue while watching my friend Jamie play a gig. Superb environment to squeeze a rate in.
Utterly superb rich smoky malt aroma. Cakes and biscuits abound. REALLY sniffable. The flavour is almost as impressive. It’s held back just a little by the aggressive carbonation but it still good. Good complex layers or tobacco and leather with more rich malt sitting quietly in the background. Some coffee and chocolate in the finish round it off really well. I don’t know much about this brewery but what I know is great. German beers that manage to break out of the very standard mold that others seem so restricted by. Excellent.
