Our Old Monkeyshine Ale is an exceptional example of a true, traditional-style English Pub beer. Nimbus Old Monkeyshine Ale is medium bodied and possesses a distinct, dark roasted flavor. Its sweet malty taste is derived from liberal use of seven varieties of specialty malts and a touch of brown sugar. Our Old Monkeyshine Ale is dark in color, beginning with a slight caramel malt overtone and rounded with a relatively dry finish from its English Kent Goldings hops. The hops aroma is mildly subdued and the bitterness is just enough to balance the profile of this beer.
Nimbus Old Monkeyshine Ale is a true premium ale and is priced accordingly. We’re so proud of this beer for its body, taste, alcohol content and drinking enjoyment, it may just become our signature beer. Be warned: its wonderful malty sweetness camouflages the 8.0% alcohol by volume content. It’s a winner!

Dark with a beige head. Caramel, toasted malts, chocolate, molasses, and booze in the nose. Fairly thick body. Flavor is much the same as the aroma with a bit of the alcohol shoing in the finish. Quite nice. Hides that 8% pretty well.

on tap at the brewery(22Jan11)pours light brown with a thin to medium cream head. Aroma is a mix of brown sugar and light roast with mild grassy hops. Flavor is nice, biscuit, light roast, coffee, thin toffee and almost citrus in the finish. Dangerously drinkable at 8%, I think my pint was gone in about 3 minutes without giving it much thought.

Very sweet, even for the style - very smooth, though - loads of toffee, as well as caramelized sugars, along with a faint buttery diacetyl flavor around the edges - some roasted nuts, dark fruit, and a hint of tartness on the end - not too bad, just way sweet.
