Due to its authenticity, Earthmonk received as little sugar as possible during bottle conditioning in order to preserve all original aromas and flavours. This beer comes with little carbonation and a mini head. Is best served at cellar temperature and poured generously, meaning from a hight of approximately 15 to 20 CM, in an upright standing tulip glass. A big bubbled head will quickly make place for the Earthmonk coming alive! Bottle-conditioned in 33cl (5000 btls.) and 75cl (1000 btls.). At Struise, we never retire beers. At ratebeer, Beers are retired when a new batch is not bottled within 12 months. As Earthmonk takes 18 months to age on oak... we have to be patient.

Tasting at Sam's in Chapel Hill. Cheers!
Dense, shiny, dark black pour.
Heavy plum, brown sugar, nice acidy nose.
Heavy black tea with lemon & aperitif, slight soot, lovely acid, lingering lemon, great earth.
Mellow to low carb, who cares, this is great.
