So Monks Brewed.
What made monastic breweries different was that the monks brought patience, process and dedication to the practice of brewing. At Monkless, there are no monks, but this is our devotion. We practice patience to perfection in our brewing process, and focus exclusively on Belgian-style ales.

19.2oz can. Big yeast tone. Sort of bland body. A touch too soapy and estery for the style in my opinion. More depth than an overspiced Wit, but pretty close to it in flavor. Drinkable, OK.

16oz can pours out hazy straw topped with a white head. Nose is grassy citrus hops some belg spice. Taste is more of the nice hop combo and a spice wheat touch.

White pepper like dwarf says and florals. Some clove. Golden pour with decent head. Pretty well balanced. Tastes less boozy than it is for sure. Soft sweet finish. Can.

500ml can from Brewers Haven. Cloudy pale golden pour, thin creamy white head. Aroma is yeasty, sourdough, grassy, hint of lemon. Taste is focused on the Belgian yeast, bready malts. Dries out towards the finish, slightly chalky. Light fruity notes.

500ml bottle from Homebrewstuff. Brown pour with thin skin of beige head, foamy ring. Aroma is herbal, mint, licorice, clove. Taste is sweet, Dr. Pepper, herbal, minty, fennel. Savory flavors mask the quad characteristics, except for maybe some of the yeast peeking through. Maybe light plum notes at the finish.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear earthy amber brown with a light brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has lots of dates with licorice and earthy sweet grains supporting. Flavor starts with dates and sweet dark grains with bread and a bit of anise in the finish.

Bottle. Clear deep amber light toasted Belgian pitted fruit aromas and flavors. Some notes of Vienna/Munich malts and a well attenuated smooth palette. Pleasant and tasty
