COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Flüssiges bricht Fasten nicht – war eine Fastenregel zu den Zeiten der Benediktinermönche in Weissenohe. Dieser verdanken wir heutzutage den Spiegelkarpfen als Fastenspeise und den kräftigen Doppelbock als flüssige Nahrung in dieser kargen Zeit. Wir haben für Sie, in dieser Tradition, unseren kräftigen Bonator als dunklen Doppelbock eingebraut, zur körperlichen und geistigen Stärkung in der „staaden“ Zeit. Ein dunkler Doppelbock, würzig und kräftig wie es die Tradition verlangt. Passend zu : Gulasch, Schäuferle, Krustenbraten, deftigen Brotzeiten und kräftigen Wildgerichten

Liquid does not break fasting - fasting was the rule at the times of the Benedictine monks in Weissenohe. This we now owe the mirror carp than fast food and the strong Doppelbock as liquid food in this barren time. We have for you, in this tradition, our strong brewed Bonator as dark Doppelbock, physical and spiritual strengthening in the "Staaden" time. Double Bock, a dark, spicy and strong as is the tradition requires. Suitable for: goulash, Schäuferle, Krustenbraten, hearty snacks and powerful game dishes

OKplus (549) - Oklahoma, USA - MAY 23, 2013

A - Pours a clear garnet with tan head. S - Toasted brown bread, toasted brown sugar, vanilla. T - Follows the nose - Brown bread crust, woody grain, caramel, light but earthy bitterness, some berry fruit underneath. Bready and nutty on the finish. M - Low carbonation, thin medium body. All good except for the mouthfeel was a little off. I would drink this again but wouldn’t go out of my way to find it. Serving type: bottle 12-18-2011

MiP (12478) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - FEB 28, 2013

Bottle, 8.2%. The aroma is slightly fruity with a touch of brown sugar. Clear dark brown colour. Small tan head. The flavour is sweet and peppery in OK balance. A little fruity in the finish, which I do not think suits it. Not as flavourful as I expected from a Doppelbock.
