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.

Holy cow this aged well. Smoothed off the sour edges, got more wine-y without being overly so or getting any of the bitterness or esthers you’d associate with a red.

Josh had it right, a rare cellaring win. Delicious, balanced and enjoyable throughout. Really refreshing and deep flavor, but not overwhelmingly anything. Would bang again

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.
