Mountain Monk Brewers Dark Ale

Smooth dark ale with roasted coffee, dark chocolate and a subtle orange lift. Mountain Monk Brewers Dark Ale is a smooth dark ale with roasted coffee, dark chocolate and a subtle orange lift. Brewed at 4.0% ABV, it delivers the rich flavour of a darker beer in a balanced and approachable mid strength style. The palate combines roasted malt, cocoa and fresh coffee with gentle earthy notes and a light citrus character. Soft oats bring smoothness and texture, while restrained bitterness keeps the beer clean and easy to enjoy. This is a great choice for those who enjoy porter and dark ale flavours but want something lighter and more relaxed than a strong stout. Its combination of roasted depth, smooth texture and refreshing balance makes it particularly appealing during the cooler months. Tasting Notes Aroma: Roasted coffee, dark chocolate, earthy malt and orange peel. Palate: Smooth and rounded, with cocoa, toasted malt, coffee and subtle citrus. Finish: Clean and gently roasty, with lingering chocolate and a light orange note. About The Brewery And Region Mountain Monk Brewers is an independent, family owned brewery based in Mount Beauty in Victoria’s High Country. The brewery sits beneath Mount Bogong, surrounded by alpine peaks, rivers and forests that give the business a strong connection to its mountain home. The story began in 2017 when two brothers and their cousin, together with their partners, took over the former Mount Beauty Workman’s Club and transformed it into a welcoming local venue. A brewery was added in 2022, with the first Mountain Monk Pale Ale poured over the bar at Christmas that year. Mountain Monk Brewers draws inspiration from the European tradition of monks brewing beer and offering hospitality to travellers and local communities. This old world philosophy is combined with a modern Australian craft brewing approach, pristine High Country water and carefully selected regional ingredients. The Dark Ale reflects that philosophy beautifully, delivering comforting roasted flavour in a balanced core range beer made for repeated enjoyment.
