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.

Out fricken standing. 8 years old and just crushing it. Perfect body. Perfect carbonation. Some froth that lasted 10-15 min, easy. A delicious strawberry-raspberry pie filling. Just the lightest of funk. Early entrant into fav beer of the year.

Too good. Still remember how sweet and crisp it was. Like a cool, alcoholic apple water on a hot day.

Big raspberry nose. The flavor is spot on. Great raspberry flavor w/ just a bit of a tart punch. Doesn’t drink like 9.2%.

7 years worth of aging apparently does wonders. This is amazing. It tastes like fresh pressed raspberry juice! Thanks, julie!

Waited months to finally crack this open and when I say it’s amazing I mean it’s amazing - starts off sweet, almost with like a raspberry glaze or sauce, and moves into dark, almost dark fruit like raisins or dried figs - keeps on going and going.

I was really worried about this one, but it has aged wonderfully. Funky tart raspberry tones. Jammy fruit body. This is lovely creamy and smooth. Damn.4.65

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

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.

This is excellent. Jammy and crisp on the nose with a sweeter raspberry jam flavor. Smooth and delicious. Holding up very well.
