Blushing Monk is brewed with a ridiculous amount of raspberries and with a Belgian yeast strain that keeps our head cellar operator from sleeping for a week. It pours a stunning deep berry red and, at 9.2% ABV, has a surprising kick. The perfect dessert beer, it can be enjoyed on its own or paired with fresh cheeses, fruit, cakes and more.

Yeah about as good as any fruit beer can be. Great full chewy body. Lots of complex flavour, the fruit tastes natural, the beer isn’t one dimensional. Great. Sterk ams

Clear and pink with thin head. Aroma and flavour have lots of sweet raspberry jam. There's a light sharpness too. Overall it's way too sweet and cloying.

Rate 9/17/11: Poured a blood red color, with a dark pink foamy head. Aroma was raspberries, raspberries, raspberries. The fruit level in this one was almost at lambic levels. The alcohol is pretty well masked, but it’s probably just because the raspberry

Huge thanks to Erzengel for sharing! Bottle looks simple but really good. Beer in the glass zippy, small head. Starts fruity-malty, quite sweet, fruity like berries, some raspberries, dry woody background. Finish still very sweet-malty. Interesting, but a bit too sweet for me.

Thanks to HP for sharing. Raspberry jam in the nose. The beers starts mild fruity, very dry with lots of raspberries in the mouth. Dry and extreme fruity raspberry there, very fruity, rich and deep, fantastic!
