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.

Sweet but stops at a nice tart finish. Fruity for sure. What a delight.

For an 8-year-old beer, we were very pleased with this one. Full raspberry fruitiness, but neither too sweet nor tart. Strong but not boozy. Very enjoyable. Courtesy of my friend Ted's cellar.

I'm impressed at how much raspberry flavor comes through. I just wish this were a third to 1/2 as sweet. I note also this aged really wel

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
