Blushing Monk (2015)

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.

Quite surprised how good this is. Lots of raspberry, tart, with a little sweetness, and a bit of funk. Assuming from it’s age.

Yes, some of this filled beer pong cups, along with a few other fun things, ...much fun! I finished the rest. Raspberry is still tasty, not too sweet, light tartness.

Agree with MO that this is likely better than when fresh! Lots of raspberry, yeasty, aged wooden/stemmy and more notes! Glad I found a few in the cellar today. Happy New Years everyone! 👍🏼🍻🎉🥃💥🎇🎆

Hade inte gissat att det var från 2015. Mycket hallon och syra, inte alls särskilt söt. Inte särskilt mycket belgotoner. Torrt avslut med en liten beska.

I was really worried about this one, but it has aged wonderfully. Funky tart raspberry tones. Jammy fruit body. This is lovely creamy and smooth. Damn.4.65
