Aug 10, 2008 750ml bottle: First off, I love the name. It is a great play on words. This one pours an opaque reddish-brown color. Mine had a large, fizzy tan head on it that went away almost immediately. It has a very nice aroma. Somewhat candy sweetness, along with cherries, plums and yeast. A touch of effervescence on the tongue. The taste is quite good also. The taste is good. Somewhat sweet, caramel, raisins and dark cherries to the taste. Finishes a bit lighter than expected. I would definitely buy another.

Nov 27, 2006 Alcohol abounds. Little other than the usual suspects arise. To become jaded with a style has great drawbacks and being presented with a cool bottle festooned with the likeness of a jazz great, then not to care al too much for it is a shame. I like North Coast and feel they could have done this one justice. It’s not a complete failure. It’s not BAD, I just don’t care that much for a beer screamiomg alcohol and sweetness. Tone it down or amp it in a different direction. Monk was a powerful player but he didn’t hit me over the head.

Dec 6, 2006 Clear amber/red and very still looking. Tart aroma with melanoidian malt, cherry and some burnt and chocolate notes. Rather sour, a little earthy, somewhat chalky, with some astringency. Not rich enough in body for my tastes. I hope I got a bottle that is bad because I don’t particularly like this one.

Jan 30, 2007 As a huge Jazz and Monk fan, I was very anxious to get my hands on a bottle of this. Just like the great composer himself, this beer is full of personality and character. Poured from the bottle into a trappist glass... it had an almost opaque, dark ruby, red hue with a beige head. Faint aromas of malt and brown sugar. Sharp palate with a lot of carbonation with flavors of toasted malt, sour fruit and other sweet flavors. Slight chalky, metallic aftertaste with a presence of alcohol. I love this beer, one of the best American micro Belgian beers that I have had.
