Weltenburger Kloster Barock Dunkel 16.9 oz bottle

German (Bavarian) Dark Beer

Brewed by: Klosterbrauerei Weltenburg
Country: Germany
Style: Munich (Bavarian) Dunkel

ABV: 4.7%
Ratebeer.com rating: not rated
BeerAdvocate.com rating: 89

Barock Dunkel (ABV 5.5%) from Klosterbrauerei Weltenburg is matured for six weeks in the brewery’s rock cellar and is truly a benchmark for the style. When poured, it presents a clear, medium bronze-brown hue topped by a prominent head of tan foam that retains well before dropping to a lasting collar. As expected for a Munich Dunkel, the aroma tilts decidedly towards the malty side, with deep caramel notes, rich toastiness and hints of roasted char. Taste-wise, the story continues much the same way with a prominent core of caramel, toasted malt and brown bread, with supporting notes of mild earth, spice and a bit of woodiness, along with those hints of dried fruit peaking though here and there. Barock Dunkel finishes crisp and refreshing, with a nice overall balance between mild hop bitterness and just a touch of residual malt sweetness. Prost!

16.9 oz. capped bottle.

Food Pairings:

Easy drinking, and on the light side of medium-bodied, this Dunkel makes for a very food-friendly beverage option. For accompaniments, it's hard to beat German classics including grilled sausages, schnitzel, and soft pretzels with brown mustard.

Brewery Information:
