It has been 29 years since I had the last taste of this beer, but I remember it like it was yesterday. When I first tasted it I thought at the time it was the best beer I had ever had up to that point and after all these year it is still the best beer I have ever had. While I was stationed in Germany I spent many, many Marks on this beer, best money I ever spent!!! Been around the globe and have drank countless different beers from many different countries and I have not found a beer that I enjoy more that this one. The color of this beer is warm and relaxing, the feel of the beer is smooth and silky, not watery or thick, the smell is somewhat sweet, caramelly, and the taste is a little sweet although not sugary sweet, mellow, leaving a very pleasant aftertaste that slowly fades away.

The absolute best beer I ever had the opportunity to have. My portfolio of beers have 687 different beers of all styles. I wish I could get this in the states.

16.60 Euros for the one liter growler and one liter of beer at the Kloster. Reviewed 10/23/18.
Capped bottle marked “Mindestens haltbar bis 24.04.19” on the front label. Pre-filled and stored in a reefer at the Kloster. Stored on my window sill at 51 degrees and consumed at the same temperature from a hand washed and dried glass coffee mug.
Appearance – 4.
Body – Medium amber, clear.
Head – Large (Maximum 4.5 cm, aggressive center pour), off-white, creamy, good retention, diminishing to a three mm ring and complete layer.
Lacing – Very good – Multiple partial rings of tiny bubbles, some connected by columns and some having stalactites.
First pour – Medium amber, hazy.
Aroma – 4.5 - Caramel malt.
Flavor – 4.5 - Less caramel and more malt than the nose. Slightly sweet. No hops, no alcohol (4.9 % ABV), no diacetyl, no dimethylsulfide.
Palate – 4 – Less than medium, creamy, soft carbonation.
Impression and interpretation – 4.5 – An excellent dunkel, possibly the best I’ve ever had! I’d had it vom fass while visiting and attempted to buy one of the fascinating 1 liter growlers as a souvenir – imagine my joy when I found it came filled with beer!

My very favorite bier!
I've only drunk this brew at the Monastery. The bier itself is worth a trip. I was stationed about an hour away from there when I was with the 11th Cavalry and I have had many "day-trips" there for great times with friends and for the chance to taste the best (IMHO) products of German Brewmasters.

Stopped at the monastery on the way back from Frankfurt Main Airport, the trip was well worth it and the monk beer was a bonus. Amazingly smooth from what I remember and I even got a growler filled to go for 20€!

Visiting my son and daughter-in-law in Germany. We took a day trip to the Kreuzberg monastery for lunch and BEER. Bought a very cool growler to bring home (filled with beer of course).
The monastery sits on top of a mountain and has beautiful views.

One of the smoothest, drinkable beers in Germany.
Great aftertaste.
