Black, stuff floating in it, True, though to my knowledge, at least, the Hacker-Pschorr company never traditionally produced "Starkbier" (one word, not two) - they're a big city brewery, catering more to the "Helles" drinkers, and the monks tended to do their own brewing in places like Andechs, about 20km south of Munich and well worth a visit if you're a drinkin' man. In these modern times, of course, all the major breweries produce such special brews during "Starkbierzeit", but that's driven more from market forces than tradition. I wouldn't really associate their line of brews (known by local Munich nicknames like "Terminator", "Eliminator", "Devastator" and so on) with the genuine monk-brewed Lent article. There's really no comparison, if you've tried both. Jordan
