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.

Medium coarse shiny beige head disappears quickly. Deek dark red barely translucent body. Deep sweet earthy malty aroma with minty licorice and roasty chocolate notes. Harmonic and balanced. Taste is deep, sweet roasty malts with earthy licorice notes and some cinnamon. Dry roasty malty aftertaste with minty notes. Light-bodied, full-flavoured, balanced and harmonic. Delicate and powerful. An excellent doppelbock. (0.5l bottle.)

500ml bottle while watching the match between Tunisia and Spain on TV. Pours a deep tan colour topped by a strong off-white, almost brownish, head slowly diminishing. Lots of bubbles. Robust and sweet malty aroma. Medium bodied. Dark malty flavour with fine notes of cocoa and chocolate, and with a welcoming bitter end. I will soon visit Vinmonopolet in Norway to buy a few more bottles.

An unclear orange-brown beer with a huge beige head - like whipped cream, just a bit darker in shade. The aroma is sweet wheaty with notes of caramel and bananas. The flavor is sweet with a strong banana presence as well as notes of caramel and wheat, leading to a dry wheaty end.
