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.

Dark brown with a ring tan head. Aroma of overripe dark fruits, vinous notes, funk, malt, chocolate, balsamic vinegar and wood. Flavour is moderate to heavy sweet and sour. Medium to full bodied with soft carbonation. It’s been many years since I’ve had this beer so it’s hard to say if it’s a good as I remember in this more recent iteration. It is damn good though!
