Today's beer is called "Kartäuser Doppelbock". It comes from the Memminger Brewery. This is located in southwestern Germany, in the foothills of the Alps. The Memminger Brewery looks back on an adventurous history. Josef Herz laid the foundations in 1887, when there were twenty-two breweries in Memmingen. Twenty years later, the three largest breweries in the town joined forces. Things went steadily upward. Today, the brewery is one of the most important and largest in the region.
Kartäuser Doppelbock shines dark brown, with reddish reflections. The aroma gives away what to expect. Caramel! Full-bodied with nicely and softly integrated carbon dioxide. Nice sweetness is accompanied by subtle bitterness. Good drinkability. But beware! The high alcohol content is well hidden. Do not be fooled. Enjoy this specialty beer in small sips. Sense each one. Give the beer time. the flavors change as the beer warms up a bit. Cheers!
We hope you enjoyed these fine beers from Germany. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
