This is basically the grandfather of all doppelbocks. I'm not sure how much the recipe changed over time, though.

Attenuation used to be a lot lower (around 50%), since the Italian monks who brewed this used it during the advent, to substitute real food. Today's is still quite thick, but still has a higher attenuation. There are a few recipes flotting around the net, haven't tried any though.

I love this beer! im drinking it right now for the first time. I always avoided it after having sam adams double bock, my first double bock which was horrible! Ne who, anyone got a recipe?
I found it a bit heavy going. Not suprising considering its intent...
