Löwenbräu - Triumphator


This is a 500ml bottle of the Double Bock produced by Löwenbräu, one of the biggest breweries in Munich, Germany. It is, as stated before, a seasonal beer, produced for the Starkbierfest, that happens every march/april.

It contains 7,6% alcohol, that's why is called Starkbier (Strong beer, in german). This kind of beer was originally produced by monks during the period of reflection and fast that preceeds Easter, it's meant to be very strong and nutritious, so it could feed the monks during the period they were not alowed to eat (but still allowed to drink).
