Description
The Schlossbrauerei Kaltenberg was established in 1871 by Sigmund von Willibald. The Von Willibalds owned the castle and brewery till 1917 when the premises were acquired by the Schülein family. The Schülein heirs sold the castle and brewery in 1954 to the Wittelsbach family. The König Ludwig Schlossbrauerei Kaltenberg continues the 800-year tradition of brewing of the Wittelsbach dynasty. Prince Luitpold of Bavaria started in the 1970s to turn the small brewery in Kaltenberg Castle into a modern company.

The castle still houses part of the brewing installation of the König Ludwig Schlossbrauerei. 100,000 hectoliters of beer are brewed here every year. But most activities of the company are located in the large modern brewery in Fürstenfeldbruck. Since 2001 the König Ludwig Schlossbrauerei Kaltenberg has been a 50/50 joint venture with Warsteiner.

Bottle kindly delivered by Viktoria, thanks so much! Bavarian brewery no.42 Pours dark amber with ff-white head. Clove and burnt malt on nose. Add some banana and you have your feel on tongue. Nothing great really.

500ml shared with Christina during the SafetyFest at the office 😁 Appearance: cloudy golden with a white head. Aroma: malty, some wheat and esters, no banana or spices, unfortunately. Taste: along the same lines mostly, with noticeable clove character, though. Overall: ok, not a great representative of the style IMHO.

I've spent 4 years in Asia but this is the first time I've been presented with a golden owl to look over my meal. Mmm

Bottle. Color: Clear dark copper, beige head. Aroma: Malty, caramel. Taste: Malty, caramel, dark malt, hints of chocolate, dark dried fruit and boozy hints. Moderate to over moderate sweet. Moderate to over moderate hopbitterness at finish. Just over medium body, just below average carbonation. Quite nice DoppelBock.
