Brewer's Advent Day #24: Memminger Kartäuser Doppelbock

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!

Delicious and highly enjoyable (in moderation). This was a perfect beer to celebrate Christmas and to finish off the 2021 Brewers Advent Calendar.

Our 24th day was not the listed beer. It sounds wonderful. I received the Schwarz’s Tinte collaboration stout instead. It was very good as well. Would have like to have tried the Doppelbock also.

Wow, I certainly tasted the alcohol in this bier, but after 3 sips that wasn’t a problem😁 The children singing was wonderful, and please let them know. Sie sind wunderbar. I started this journey with you after my sister and brother-in-law purchased me this advent calendar In October for a Christmas gift. I had no idea what to expect, but I love a good bier, und ich liebe es Deutschland und Österreich zu besuchen.Seit zwei Jahren muss ich meine nächste Reise dorthin absagen. Ich hoffe, ich komme im Mai dorthin. Jetzt, werde ich mehr Brauereien finden. Danke. Frohe Weihnachten.

Loved the beer - slightly sweet malty carmelly taste that completely hides the high ABV. I could easily sip a couple or six of these sitting by a fireplace watching it snow outside
