Monk's Blood

Pours clear with a heaping helping of light tan, dense bubbled foam. Foam thickens as it nicely and uniformly recedes. Lacing is wet and spotty. Aroma is Belgian with a lot of malts and dark fruit. Malts are on the sweet side while the dark fruits are hidden behind. There is a sense of cinnamon. Taste is uniquely complex. Malts are there with sweetness and maybe a bread or similar, hard to make that out. A really nice blend of malts. Some spiciness comes in and lingers a bit on the sides of the tongue. Dark fruits abound in the taste, much more than in the aroma. A bit of nice heat comes late in the after taste, warming on the way done. Nice. Medium carbonation with an almost big body. Tacky and a bit dry. This is a bit unlike any beer I have had. There is a ton going on and I don't believe writing about it does it justice. Maybe a bit too sweet otherwise a really solid beer and offering. Enjoy!
