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.

Encore. This held up remarkably well. Smells like Twizzlers.

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.

Yes, it’s the 2015. Purchased for my wife while pregnant and she won’t even get it try it now that our son is 7. Smells like lillies and tastes like raspberry frosting. If only my kid aged this well.

Lost a little bit at this age but definitely drinkable. Not going to rate it being past it’s prime I’m sure.

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.
