The Church Brew Works - Pious Monk Dunkel

Next up is the Pious Monk Dunkel. The sampler description says "the Pious Monk Dunkel is the perfect example that not all dark beers are strong!" It is an award-winning beer for the brewery with 13.0°P, 20 IBUs, and 4.3% ABV.

Overall average rating: 5.5/10

It is a clear, rich dark amber/copper color with a hint of red. There is a very faint aroma, and what we notice is a light malt and a metallic scent. The taste is smooth and well-balanced, with a malt flavor that doesn't seem to develop.

Shawn- It is drinkable, but it lacks so much in the aroma that it kills the beer. If the aroma was stronger, your palate could develop into it, 4.5/10.
Angela- For me, this is simply a good sessionable amber beer, 6/10.
Chris- It feels like the flavor should evolve but it just stops. It lacks body and is not as heavy as I thought it would be, 6/10.
