Substantially Complete 2021 is a Mixed Fermentation blend of 1, 2 & 3 year Marsala, Red Wine and Cognac barrels. It won the Gold Medal at Concours de Lyon in 2023.
Substantially Complete reflects The Monolith both as a physical entity and the beer it produces. This blend is a snapshot of our mixed fermentation program year to year, using Marsala, Red Wine and Cognac barrels of different vintages. After fermenting for 1, 2, & 3 years using a house-blend of microorganisms, the result is our quintessential blend— adventurous, yet balanced, with bright peach and citrus flavour, light oxidative and wine notes, highlighted by a medium acidity. We hope you like it!

375 ml bottle. Pours gold with light head. Aromas of Brett farmyard, citrus, white grape must and soft wheaty malts. Flavors of Brett, white wine/ gewurztraminer/grapes, lemon rind and more soft wheaty malts. Tangy but subtle. Very nice.

375ml bottle. (2021 vintage). Pours a hazy gold-blonde with a small, fizzy, short lived, white head that fully dissipates. Funky, earthy aroma of brett, white wine, pale malt, peach, lemon rind, oak and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of pale malt, orange peel, peach, white wine, lemon, oak and floral hops in a dry, tart, acidic, brett finish. Light to medium body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Refreshing and delicious.
