Style and Colour: Barrel Aged beer, Barley wine
Taste: Full-bodied, liqueur affinity, mild, fine sweetness, long mild finish, with Cognac aromas.
Alcohol: 14%
Drinking Temperature: 8 - 10°C
Fermentation: The complex aroma comes from the long fermentation phase with three yeasts in an open vat and the maturation process lasting over a year in old French cognac barrels. The special climate and the mysticism of the 300-year-old monastery cellar contribute to the wonderful taste.
The Brewery: The Pilgrim brewery was founded in 2013 by Martin Wartmann. The beers are made from the best monastery water, select malt, aromatic hops, forest herbs and spices.
Origin: The Fischingen monastery was founded in 1138 by the Bishop of Constance, Ulrich II, as a pilgrimage station. Fischingen has been the only monastery in Thurgau to be inhabited by monks. Centuries ago, a beer after a long day's march was a welcome, strengthening and popular thirst quencher. The brewery is continuing this tradition in the monastery brewery: pilgrims on the Way of St. James receive a free can of PILGRIM KLOSTER AMBER in the PILGRIM brewery.
Food: Pairs very well with fruit cake or fine, aromatic soft cheese. As a digestif after dinner, dessert beer.
Awards: Gold Medal at Frankfurt International Trophy
