Translated to English, the name literally means "Old Bavarian Dark Beer." This is the most traditional style of beer in Bavaria. Before light beers were introduced from the big cities, most village beer — like most village bread — was dark, toasty and flavorful.
This beer has been sold in the USA for many years, but 4-packs of 330 mL bottles were first imported in summer 2020.
Dark amber-brown with a warm, rich, inviting aroma. A satisfying malty experience with coffee-ish tones and surprising complexity for such an inviting beer.
ABV: 5.0% - OG: 1.051 - IBU: 21
