One of the two beers brewed at the monastary (the other one is the Asam Bock). With the latest technology and traditional monastic brewing skills, this world's award-winning special beer is brewed with the best ingredients in the oldest monastery brewery in the world. The Baroque Dark matures in the rock cellar for up to six weeks, developing its inimitable taste. It is full-bodied, malty-aromatic, fine dry with a slight sweetness, fine creamy in color like warm brown amber; Taste and fragrance intense, powerful and gripping.

500ml bottle: BBD 11th Oct 18. Obtained from Beers of Europe and drank at home on 23rd Mar 18. Poured into an old Wolnzacher Brauhaus glass tankard, this lovely glass suits a dark beer so well. Chestnut coloured body, clean and clear, on top an off-white blanket of bubbles. Malty and semi-sweet flavoured throughout, the aroma is all about the malts too. Actually, it's a bit 'one dimensional' with very little hop action to balance out the malt presence.

Bottle. Dark mahagony featuring a nice foamy beige head. Aroma of malts, caramel and a little dose of hops. Taste of malts, nuts, caramel and some liquorice with tiny hints of chocolate. Moderate roasty and hoppy bitterness. Medium to strong carbonation. Very balanced. Well done Dunkel.

Cerveza lager oscura, de color marrón oscuro con destellos color cobre. Genera bastante espuma, cremosa y de color marfil, con buena retención. Aroma intenso a frutos secos y caramelo, la cosa promete. En boca tiene un cuerpo medio-alto con carbonatacion suave. Los sabores van desde el dulzor de la malta tostada al caramelo o el café, acompañado de un perfil frutal (ciruela, cereza...). De las mejores que he probado en su estilo, muy recomendable.

BJCP regarded this one as one of the best style examples. need to practise this style, so here we go ! Thnx sinH4 for trading me this one ! Pours very dark, clear, caramelly. Small white head, seemingly not very stable. smell is breadcrust, brown bread, mild chocolate, some earthyness. medium in intensity. clean fermentation. Taste is starting of a tad bitter, but quickly fades into a chocolaty, dark bread-type of maltyness. medium high carbonation, medium body. nice aromatic features, bit earhty. Aftertaste is rich and has more of the dark bread / breadcrust features, as well as the chocolaty/earthyness in lesser amounts. Clean fermentation profile. Nice one indeed.

Bottle bought online from Beautiful Beers, BSE. Pours nut brown with a frothy tan head. Aroma is sweet, malty, fruity, nutty. Taste is rich dark malts, raisins, hints of wood & smoke. Light to medium bodied, decent levels of carb. Sweet malty finish. A little dull for me

500 ml bottle, served in mug. Dark brown-red colour, big fluffy head. Dark bread, roasted malt, a bit coffee, ends with a bit lemon. Very nice and balanced taste, malty and slightly bitter, slightly sour. Nice palate, very smooth. Medium body, oily texture. Great Dunkles!
