Ettaler Curator Dunkler Doppelbock (ABV 9%) The German version of Ettal's Curator Doppelbock had been adjusted to make it "easier to drink" (with ABV 7%). The US importer asked the monastery to revert to this authentic recipe (AKA Historic Recipe Curator), which dates to the early years of the monastery, especially for import to the US.
With complex aromas of figs, fruitcake, port, licorice, cherry, chocolate, and caramel, Curator tastes deliciously thick and chewy, with great complexity and notes of fruits, coffee, molasses, licorice, and toffee. This beer is a meal! 16 oz can
