König Ludwig Dunkel

König Ludwig Dunkel, Schlossbrauerei Kaltenberg- 5.1% abv. Bavarian brewed dark ale known as the "beer of Royal Highness", also "The noble one among dark beers." Why? Not only because it is brewed at Kaltenberg castle (which it is), not only because it was the claim of its owner Prince Luitpold of Bavaria, a descendant of the author of the Bavarian Beer Purity Law of 1516 to be of the highest quality (which it was), but also the König Ludwig Dunkel ("King Ludwig's Dark") can trace its origins directly back to the very first Dunkel ever made in the 16th century. It's pretty good too.
