At the Liquor Barn, in Niles, I have come across a lot of Polish and German beers I had never heard of and a lot of them taste pretty good, actually. Not always great, but pretty good. Such was the case for this one, the Altenmunster Winter Doppelbock, and it is an interesting combination altogether.It is considered a Winter Brew, so it is warming and pleasant more than it is a classic doppelbock. In other words, this tastes different than when tasting doppelbocks in general. For example, Ayinger Celebrator and Spaten Optimator, both classics, have a stronger bock flavor, higher alcohol flavor, and not too bitter. This one, actually, is a little mild and I didn't find the alcohol content to be so bold, even though it competed with these two in alcohol amount.
Clink here to go to the website. It is really cool with a blurry hot air balloon but I think I need to brush up on my German to read it.
My CBC Rating: 4. I would have another, and maybe in the bigger one I saw at the store, a 2 liter version.
Poured from the 500ml swing-type open bottle into my Team Pint Glass.
ABV: 7.20%.
