North Coast Brother Thelonious (355ml Bottle)

Description

Jazz icon Thelonious Monk is the inspiration for North Coast Brewing's new Belgian-style abbey ale called, appropriately enough, Brother Thelonious. Like a Belgian ?Dark Strong Ale?, the beer is rich and robust with an ABV of 9%.

Tasting Notes

Pours a dark purplish brown color with a nice layer of frothy tan head that stays the entire drink. Aroma is very sweet and sugary, lots of raisins, brown sugar and spice. Flavor is a wonderfully complex mix of chocolate, caramel, dark fruits, raisins, and a rummy booziness in the finish that makes you want to sip this near a fire. Excellent beer.

Belgian Strong Ale

Belgian Strong Ales can vary from pale to dark brown in color, darker ales may be colored with dark candy sugar. Hop flavor can range from low to high, while hop aroma is low. The beers are medium to full-bodied and have a high alcoholic character. Types of beers included here include tripels, dubbels and ultra-strong abbey ales.
