COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
About 150 years ago, this dark style lager was first brewed in Munich, Germany. Our version is fairly dark in color, but don’t be afraid. It is a perfect example that dark beers are not always strong beers. The body is surprisingly mellow, and the alcohol content is a bit lower than most people might think. It has a wonderfully clean and roasty aroma. Hop bitterness levels are kept in line, but is has a noticeable hop flavor. Our Pious Monk Dunkel finishes crisp and clean as a lager should.

12 oz. bottle. Good amber/brown color. Decent head that doesn’t last too long. Malty and nutty flavor. Finishes somewhat dry. An overall acceptable beer. Looking forward to drinking this when it’s hot.

A pleasant dark beer for summer - not too heavy or sweet, but nice hints of malt aroma. Relatively light in the mouth. The Church sells it in party kegs, which is how I brought it home; generally enjoyed by a crowd.

This may not be the best of the style in the world but I find it quite enjoyable. Low abv makes it a good session beer and the nice clean malty tastes are smooth and clean the color is clean as well as the aroma is clear. its a good beer

This is the first beer I’ve had from the Church, and it is a really great starter. It’s light and crisp. I’m not a huge fan of the label, however... too many breweries use the Algerian font.

Great Beer. One of their regulars that are brewed all year long. Hoppy but not heavy. Just a great german fest type of beers. My favorite among their regulars. Even better on draft at the brewery!
