Vintage Cellar Tasting - Merry Monks

  • Name: Merry Monks
  • Type: Tripel
  • Brewer: Weyerbacher Brewing Co.
  • Region: Easton, Pennsylvania
  • Country: United States
  • Time of Year: Year-round
  • Price: $2.54 for 12oz, $13.25 for 6 pack
  • Shop Review: Straw bordering on gold color.  Very Belgian yeast nose, condied banana, cookie dough.  Well carbonated, very effervescent.  The full body fills the mouth, creamy midpalette, and finishes quite dry.  Drinks less than its stated alcohol level.  9.3% ABV.
  • My Review:  This was without a doubt my favorite beer of the entire tasting.  The nose was strongly of berries and yeast, very sweet and delicious.  I smelled it multiple times before drinking it because it just smelled so damn good.  When I tasted it, I got hints of strawberry and fruit, a very light tasting and colored beer that was all round good.  It had little bitterness, smooth and easy to drink.  I bought one bottle of this beer, was planning to drink it myself but I may give it to a friend for his birthday, if he likes he can have it, if he doesn't I will take it off his hands for him!
  • No food.
