In the early 70s in southern California, we would occasionally pick up a six pack of Kulmbacher Monchshof Klosterbock as a treat. A few years ago, my wife and I stopped for lunch while we were driving toward Frankfurt. We ordered a Monchshof Schwartzbier that I thought was reminiscent of the bock I had 30+ years before. I think the Kulmbacher style isn't popular because it is too heavy for modern drinkers -- they like the alcohol but want higher attenuation for "drinkability".
