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.

Great raspberry flavor, a little sweet. Pretty solid, for a 2015.

A little bit of oxidation sneaking in. Still a raspberry bomb though

Raspberry and strawberry bomb. Sweet and fruity with gentle sourness and bready notes. Full body with a light syrup like touch.

This is excellent. Jammy and crisp on the nose with a sweeter raspberry jam flavor. Smooth and delicious. Holding up very well.

Vintage delux. Still a very pungent raspberry nose. Taste is tart, fruity, caramel, clear raspberry with a strong, boozy resinious note. Clear licorice aftertaste. It's aged well

Raspberry syrup. This monk needs to get to Westmalle or Westreleven and stop worshipping Satan.

Shared ‘15 bottle. Smells of muddled berry & Belgian sugar; I would dare say it’s broke down some due to the sediment in the bottle. Tastes semi sweet of the raspberry element, still muddled but tasty, with Belgium sugar effervescence in tow. Really good.
