MrSpooks Profile

Same issue here as with the dubbel and tripel; cocoa, dried fruit, and a strong bitterness, not a whole lot of subtlety or complexity for the style, but still pretty drinkable. Not bad.

Big, punchy, boozy as hell. Lots of Chattanooga Whiskey giving a warm hug to cocoa and caramel notes from the Adambier maltiness. Finishes with a touch of alcohol heat and some lingering vanilla and oak from the barrel. Tasty bourbon bomb.

Killer hoppy pils, balancing out hefty notes of tropical fruit and citrus pith against a modest grainy sweetness and a touch of floral bitterness accented by minerals and a touch of pine. Threads the needle between IPA hoppiness and pils subtlety. Goddamn great pint.

Bold Monk's Tripel falls right in line with their take on the Belgian Dubbel, Americanized to the point excess, forgoing any stylistic subtlety for the sake of big, punchy flavors. Which isn't altogether a bad thing; the clove and grassy middle are nice, as are the traces of lemon drops and apple. The bitterness on the back end mixes with the strong sweetness to grow cloy as the pint warms though. Okay.

Very much an Americanized take on the style, not as sweet as its Belgian brethren and with a firm bitterness that seems slightly out of place. Tasty notes of cocoa, dried fruit, tobacco, and candi sugar, but the bitter streak in the finish comes on too strong. Not bad; probably better on tap.
