Jul 8, 2008 Sampled at Bockyhorsey’s Bocky Bash on 7-5-08. Cranberry red pour with a small fizzy pink head. Lots of rasberries and a bit of malt and tartness in the aroma and flavor. Almost no hint of the high ABV. Really good fruit brew.

Jun 29, 2008 Bottle courtesy tpd975. Pours a clear ruby red with a small light pink head that leaves spoty lacing. Aroma of fresh tart raspberries on top of more raspberries. Taste starts off with a touch of sweet malt and finishes with tons of tart raspberries. Medium tart mouthfeel with a mild amount of bitternee and insainly hidden alcohol.

Jun 17, 2008 Red pour with a snappy pink head. Aroma is very tart...with berries! Flavor is tart raspberry as well as blackberry and currants, some bread. Finishes more acidic than I expected. Very nice, 12.3? Hid the alcohol well...

Jun 7, 2008 Thanks to decaturstevo for sharing this one at the April Get Together.
Clear, deep cherry body with a small white head.
Big berry aroma.
Sweet at the start, going tart into the finish.
The extremely high abv comes across as a bit of cough medicine but it stays in check.

Jun 3, 2008 A nice red color with faint pink head. Tart raspberry aroma with a malty hint. Very similar flavor profile but with a pronounced sweetness.

May 30, 2008 A terrific raspberry flavor that is best in small doses. I’ve known people who will drink entire glasses of the Monk. It’s a bit too fruity (and expensive) for me to do that. That said, I highly recommend mixing it with a stout or porter. Usually a splash will do the trick. I haven’t mixed it with Young’s Double Chocolate or Breckenridge’s Vanilla Porter, but I have a feeling it would be a dynamite combination.
