Absolvinator
Meinel-Bräu's Absolvinator is brewed once a year in the Lenten tradition — a Doppelbock that doesn't hide what it is. Deep mahogany, dense as bread dough, 8% and built entirely of malt sweetness, caramel, and warmth that arrives slowly and settles in for the long evening. This is a beer for winter, for candlelight, for sipping in silence.

What is a Doppelbock?
