Blushing Monk (2018)

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 tart raspberry! Has cellared extremely well. Perfect beer for a 64° day, pork chops on the pellet smoker, reverse sear on the gas grill.

Amazing as usual. More dark fruits and yeast spice after age. Still jammy. A bit of molasses like melanoidin notes too.

Sweet & tart heavy dose of raspberries with solid malt backbone. Slight sweet cherry skin vibe as well, probably from age.

This *is* dessert in a glass: just right. Satiating, balanced, full, sweet, just like a well-apportioned cheesecake. Excellent. Not too much, not too little.

Side by side. 2018/2020. 2018 is definitely darker and more opaque. And it wins.

Surprisingly much better after a couple years aging. Not medicinal, more natural raspberry flavor.
