About

Klosterbräu Oberalteich Fasten Bock is a traditional Doppelbock from Arcobräu, brewed for Starkbierzeit—the Bavarian strong beer season historically enjoyed by monks during Lent. This dark, full-bodied beer opens with roasted malt on the nose, followed by sweet malt impressions with hints of dried fruit and spice. On the palate, the malts assert themselves with roasted grain, dark bread crust, and a subtle honey-like sweetness. The 7.2% alcohol warms without dominating. A straightforward interpretation of Bavarian bock tradition, built on classic malts and lager fermentation rather than innovation.
