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.

Big offwhite lasting head. Deep dark red body. Dry earthy peppery aroma with licorice notes. Dry-sweet roasty licorice taste with earthy, meaty notes and a lovely distinct burntness. Dry burnt peppery hoppy lingering aftertaste. Very nice. (0.5l bottle at Stiegl Keller, Salzburg.)

Bottle, 8.0%. Weak banana aroma. Quite cloudy dark orange colour. Small white head. Good mouthfeel. The flavour has a slightly rough hoppiness, along with a harsh alcohol flavour. Luckily, it also has a sweet malt profile that helps a bit before a too dry finish.

bottle, thanks to Bochum! Clear dark brown colour, nearly no head. Oily consistence. Full-bodied with hints of herbs, roasetd malt and caramel, slightly sweet but well-balanced with aromatic hops. Dry and lingering finish.

Bottle. Light clove and hay nose. Cloudy orange, relatively low head. Fairly light bodied - a bit spice (clove, anis), a few minerals, ok hop bitterness in the finish - not particulary inspired otherwise.
