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.

Aromas are slightly dry amber malt, tree bark, dry grain. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose but on the sweet side. Not a lot of depth. Very drinkable for sure but kind of average.

Aromas are dark malt, roast, molasses and a bit of barnyard. Flavors are similar to nose, loses the barnyard and add in a bit of cocoa. Slightly soft carbonation and a touch chalky. Pretty good dunkel.

Die Optik dieses Bieres erstrahlt tiefbernsteinfarben und klar mit feiner bis mittelgroßer Perlage. Die weiße, feinporige Schaumkrone hält dabei ganz gut. Die Duftaromatik überzeugt mit getreidiger bis karamelliger Malzigkeit und führt kaum wahrnehmbare Hopfennoten mit sich. Der Antrunk kommt frisch, breit getreidig und schön karamellig malzig. Im Hintergrund schwingt eine sehr zarte Hopfennote mit. Der Körper mit guter Fülle, die passend feine Rezenz, die seidige Textur und die sehr zarte Trockenheit sorgen für ein sehr angenehmes Mundgefühl. Auf Zunge und Gaumen weiterhin getreidig und karamellig malzig und leicht würzig bis kräuterig hopfig. Natürlich überwiegt die betont malzige Komponente, die mit ihrer Weichheit zu einer unglaublich guten Drinkability führt und zu großen Schlucken anregt. Der malzbetonte, getreidig-karamellige Nachtrunk hält gut an. Die sehr zarten Hopfennoten schwingen dabei hintergründig gut mit und sorgen dafür, dass dieses Bier nicht in eine Mastigkeit kippt.
