hopIQ found 10 beers with the same bitter and roasted character as Closter Zell. Closter Zell is billed by the brewery as 'the Cistercian beer of the monks', a full-flavoured strong lager of 6.3 % ABV. It glows a deep amber under a generous head. An intense, firmly bitter opening with well-integrated roast notes leads the way, then honey, spicy malt and gently bitter hop aromas come together in a full-bodied finish. Tasters add caramel and a soft fruitiness, with the alcohol kept well in check. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
