Frequently I visit Santa Fe and enjoy excellent dinner at Café San Estevan. Last time I discovered there a superb ale brewed by Benedictine monks called Monks’ Ale”. Very sophisticated finish and aroma. Highly recommended.

12-ounce brown bottle, pours a deep amber color with slight white head. Medium-bodied, big malty flavor balance. Slightly dry, toasted character. Clean, nice.

On tap @ Falling Rock poured a clear copper with a small off white head. Aroma was carmel, fruity and a hint of spice. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of carmel, lightly fruity and a hint of spice with a slightly astringent, dry finish. A very drinkable beer!

Thanks Todd for sharing this bottled version. The beer pours to a hazy orange body with a creamy white head. The aroma is heavy with Saaz hops, corn silage, and it really piques my interest. The flavor is Saaz hops and silage with some strawberries. Very unique and quite nice. The palate is sweet and moderately full bodied and leaves a nice lingering spiciness. The bottle was listed as being from Abbey Beverage Co. from Pecos, NM.

Bottle as an extra in a trade. Pours an orange body with foamy white top. Aroma flavor is yeasty and pepper, some light fruit and appricots, some toasted malt. Drinkable but not abv really.
