Monkey’s Dunkel

Monkey’s Dunkel Wine Details
Price:

Description: This is a traditional Munchener Dunkel (Dark Munich) style Bier, fashioned after the original lagers of Europe before the advent of Pale Biers. Dunkels still enjoy great popularity in Bavaria and for good reason. Their nutty and toasty maltiness is neither too sweet nor overly roasty, making for a Bier that is satisfying and very drinkable. The use of Munich malt as a base gives this beer its dark brown color and unique malty aroma and flavor. German hops give this beer a subtle earthy undertone with a clean finish. Monkey’s Dunkel is the brainchild of our brewer Cory Buenning, whose love for traditional styled lagers is very apparent in this brew.

Varietal Definition
Dunkel/Dark Weizen:
These dark wheat beers derive their character from the use of darker malts in the non-wheat ingredients, so that a richer, darker colored beer can be achieved, along with fuller malt flavors. Dunkel weizens still display the floral, estery qualities of a pale weizen. Dark weizens are produced with or without a secondary fermentation in the bottle, with the corollary that these styles can be yeast sedimented or unsedimented depending upon the preference of the brewer.
