zappafan99 (462), Ascension Island Aug 20, 2007 Updated: Sep 7, 2008Smells of hay/grain. Metallic aftertaste. Lots of lacing from a thick,rich,foamy head. Deep murky amber/red color. Tastes like yard work. ultraspank (866), Dublin, Ohio, USA Aug 18, 2007 Been excited to try this ever since I learned that this brew is an ASA instead of some Belgian bullshit that the name lead me to believe. Very yummy nose very similar to a well brewed ESB; dried fruit and caramel. The brew pours a dark mahogany with amber highlights. The fully lasting creamy stiff beige head leaves good lace. The big deep and balanced start moves to a long fruity floral & bitter finish with much character. The medium creamy body is soft to lively, the finish feels mildly astringent. Very well done. GonZoBeeR (2156), ste-Eulalie, Quebec, Canada Aug 17, 2007 Aroma:good hopy nose,mixed with plum aroma...

Some good flavors, though some don’t work well together. Hoppy aroma. Mouthfeel is a little thin with a light bitter finish. scrizzz (1252), kirkland, Washington, USA Aug 9, 2007 Sweet aroma, balanced nicely with the waves of hop flavors. Rich, complex, and hints of plum. Finishes sweet, strong, and satisfying. mkofron (155), St. Louis, Missouri, USA Aug 5, 2007 A beer that is incorrectly named. Not much Belgian going on here despite calling itself "Monk Madness". dkoonce (880), People’s Republic of Athens, Ohio, USA Aug 3, 2007 Malty and brown, with a thick tan head that is quite durable and lasts through the whole beer. Bitter, but not in a good way. More like pecan shells, not hops. Perhaps something is wrong with this bottle. PrinceofNessus (234), Westminster, Colorado, USA Aug 1, 2007 The color of the beer is red. The head is fairly small. The body isn’t too heavy nor too light. The aroma is one of strong hoppiness, quite common with rogue beers. The flavor was sharp enjoyable hos with a fruity undertone. A sharp and spicy beer.
