Dopplebock.

According to legend, the 17th century monks of Neudeck ob der Au outside Munich, Germany, developed the rich-and-malty beer to sustain them during Lenten fasts, the traditional 46-day lead-up to Easter.

Unfiltered, the bold elixir was nicknamed “liquid bread” and is packed with carbohydrates, calories and vitamins.

Yeah I read that part, but you figure what maybe 200 calories for the heavier beer per bottle? Says he lost over 25# in the 46 days. Might be my new weight loss strategy?

Probably more like 400 calories. A "preimum" light lager like High Life has about 200 cal. Good strong beer can be much higher.
