Blushing Monk

Fruit Beer

Blushing Monk is brewed with a ridiculous amount of raspberries and with a Belgian yeast strain that keeps our head cellar operator from sleeping for a week. It pours a stunning deep berry red and, at 9.2% ABV, has a surprising kick. The perfect dessert beer, it can be enjoyed on its own or paired with fresh cheeses, fruit, cakes and more.

Not going to rate this one since it's at least a few years old. But I remember it being much better early on

Too sweet, and kind if reminds me of cough syrup. I wanted to love it, but just couldn't.

I don't know if it's my changing palette but this year seems almost unbearably syrupy. Still love the powerful fruit flavor and smooth body, but definitely candy in a bottle.

I’ve had 3 of these in the past month or so...but keep missing the check in. Loads of raspberry really hit their peak tart-wine-ish flavor at cellar temp. Wonderful beer for that time you want to look like you’re drinking wine

Raspberry’s on the nose and the mouth and the pallet and all the way down. Almost like syrup. Red in color. Very very sweet like jam. Defiantly a desert beer!

Decadent and delicious. Blushing monk is a wonderful brew to sip on. The raspberry notes are light and sweet and the taste of booze is well rounded but not overpowering.

Very forward fresh raspberry taste. Well balanced, surprisingly smooth for 9.2%. Delicious beer but doesn't really have much Belgian characteristic.
