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

Coronavirus cellar turd day #152. This is still insanely sweet, even after 5 years. Raspberry flavor is pretty spot on though and dmI don’t taste any signs of age. Hides the abv well. Reminds me a little of an Answer juice.

This beer has too much raspberry. It's overly sweet, even after 7 years.

Aged well (not oxidized). Far too sweet but the raspberry comes through nicely. Cannot finish this big bottle of sugar

1/12 From Robyn and friends. Has that dark berry color. Berry on the nose. Sweet and sour fruitiness, strong. I like how Robyn is using Hellblazer images for his checkins.
