Weihenstephaner Korbinian Doppelbock

Rating: positive

"Dunkles starkbier", dark strong beer, the label states. No joke. This is black in the glass, feels heavy to drink and at 7.4% ABV is about twice as strong as a watery American macrobrew. Not my favorite, but pretty damn good. This is also about $3 a bottle where I live, just over half the price of Reutberger or Kostritzer.

Weihenstephaner is the brand of what is now the state beer college of Bavaria, and claims to be the world's oldest brewery (seit 1040). They know what they're doing.

Origin: Germany (Bavaria)
