About
The Flying Monkeys Craft Brewery leads the Craft Beer Revolution in Ontario. Brewing radical Beers and creative Ales right on the waterfront in downtown Barrie since 2004, the Flying Monkeys was the first Ontario Craft Brewery to truly recognize the need to overthrow the conservative regime of macro-brews and timid small batch taste-a-likes and create a new Culture of Craft Brewing in our province.

Casting off the comfortable and respectable cloak of the Robert Simpson Brewing Company, and revealing our true selves as the Flying Monkeys late in 2008, we gave rise to the the collective creativity of our Brewery and committed our Brewhouse to the adventurous longings of the growing culture of Craft Beer Lovers in Ontario.

Draft. An unclear dark golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of exotic fruit, oranges, hops, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes exotic fruits, hops, spices, and lemons, leading to a bitter finish.

Bottle: Poured a deep brown color ale with a small brown foamy head with limited retention and minor lacing. Aroma of deeply caramelized malt with some toffee notes with some dates and figs notes with Xeres barrel notes with some residual sugar notes. Taste is also a mix of caramelized malt notes and some dates and figs notes and Xeres notes with quite a bit of residual sugar and some cardboard notes. Body is pretty full with light carbonation with some warming alcohol notes. Enjoyable barleywine but a little bit too sweet for my taste.

A very slight unfiltered haze, golden colour with a creamy warm off-white head, long lasting and leaving thick lacing. Marshmallow essence in the nose, with citrus notes and herbal hints. A little tropical fruit as well, continuing in the flavours with the touch of candy, but some solid grassiness that cuts the richness, and creates a nice dry finish. A nice IPA with the marshmallow that adds a small dessert touch.
