May 23, 2008 Bottle. Pours red with a thin beige head. Aroma is caramel, fruit and almond with a light roasted character. Medium body. Flavor is plum, fig, almond, caramel and again, a very light roast hiding in the background. Nice.

May 22, 2008 Aroma is light but a nice sweet caramel scent is there. Color is a hazy amber with good carbonation and a thin head. Taste is rich, sweet and fruit. Starting with a full/medium body it goes down rich with a crisp feel. Finish comes in sweet with caramel and dried fruit flavors, then a mild yeast fruitiness and a nice bitterness. After taste is a dried fruit taste with a little alcohol coming though. Fabulous brew, as it warms all the flavors stand out even more

May 18, 2008 Pours a gooey reddish amber with the faintest of heads that qucikly dissipates. Aroma is of vinegar, maple syrup, brown sugar. Flavor is medium, well balanced. Not at all boozy for 9%: Smooth. Very fucking smooth, like velvet. An excellent ale from a world-class brewery (unequivocally speaking) that was a relative steal at $7.99 for a gorgeously presented 25.4-ounce bottle. Recommended. Thanks again for everything you do, North Coast.

May 13, 2008 5/2/08 notes: on tap at Eli Cannon’s. Deep ruby-amber color with a small white head. Delicious flavor of cherry, banana, malt and sweetness. Well balanced body, solid overall. 3.6

May 12, 2008 Pours clear alcoholy, clear bronze with no head and no lacing. Rich, dark sugar sweet aroma. Heavy malt and sark sugar flavor. Heavy, thick, light syrupy mouthfeel. Winey, heavy alcohol finish. Not the best for continual enjoyment.

May 10, 2008 On-tap at the Thirsty Monk, Asheville.
Ironic that my least-favorite during a night of Belgian-styles was the non-native-Belgian? Probably not.
Appearance: Dr. Pepper.
Aroma: STRONG!!! Caramel, dates, raisins
Taste: Again, raisins. Apricots, figs, dates, sorghum.
Palate: My least favorite aspect of this beer. It’s too thin, and disintegrates too soon. Almost watery for something so strong.
Overall: Good, sweet, and strong, but too sweet, too rich. Drink this one in small quantities. Perfect match with a cardamom chocolate, though.

May 7, 2008 A fairly strong offering from north coast, this beer is dominated by dark fruit flavors. Some maltiness is present. The mouthfeel is excellent. A good but not great beer.

May 3, 2008 I have found this beer is best when drank while listening to the man himself, Thelonious Sphere Monk. Much like listening to Monk tunes, it leaves you with satisfied palate and puts you in uniquely delightful mood. And anyways what can be better than listening to Thelonious, and drinking good beer. Best when drank ’Round Midnight.
-Bye-ya!
