The Rock Monkey Stout is a delightfully complex beer that tastes of chocolate, coffee, citrusy grapefruit and American hops. Named after Taiwan’s only native primate, this mischievous stout is brewed with a select mix of specialty malts ranging from Chocolate to Extra Black and is meant for those who enjoy rich and rewardingly hoppy brews.

8/5/2026. Can from Beer52. Lovely pour. Aroma is ashy, coffee, roasted, chocolate, chicory. Medium sweet, mellow roasted bitterness. Good body, very smooth, soft carbonation. Some fruitiness develops. Very good, and does well with its dialled down 4.4%.

[33cl can from Beer52.] An opaque glossy black pour with a thick tan head; rich chocolate aroma; smooth and velvety in the mouth with some chocolate. coffee and burnt grains; then dry and milky with a firm C-hop bitterness and some burnt toast to finish. A tasty stout.

330ml can via Beer52. Poured into my Gordon's thistle shaped glass at home late on 28th June 2025. Inch deep tanned crown on a deep dark brown body, looked good (everything does in this glass). Malty and slightly bitter, some chocolate action with a side of coffee grains, pity it's been diluted for Beer52. Might have been good at it's regular strength.
