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

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

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.

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.

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