Description
The first references to a brewery in the Weltenburg Monastery are to be found in the Weltenburg Nekrologium, in which it states that the master brewer died. Another scientifically recognized source is a recorded entry in the “Libellus Traditionum”, which is over 900 years old, and which dates from shortly before or after 1050.

In the barely millennium to the present day, monastic beer production in Weltenburg was only interrupted by the secularization from 1803 to 1846. In 1846 the brewery became monastery property again, and it has remained there to this day. The Weltenburg monastery brewery can therefore rightly be called the oldest monastery brewery in the world.

Color marrón rojizo oscuro translúcido, corona de espuma beige claro, compacta, abundante y de gran duración y adherencia. Aroma a maltas tostadas, caramelo, hierba seca, dátiles, pan tostado, con ciertas nota ,mineral, terrosa y amaderada. En boca el trago es redondo, con un dulzor de entrada algo acaramelado donde destacan las notas de malta, pan negro, fruta pasificada y unas gotitas de melaza, acabando en un final moderadamente amargo, herbal, terroso y adornado con matices de madera. Una cerveza magnífica, todo en ella es equilibrio, calidad y elegancia, desde el aspecto hasta el sabor pasando por su aroma. Gran cerveza
