Tasting Notes:	Scarlet red in color with a pink head. A raspberry aroma. Flavor is balanced between tart and some sweetness with predominant raspberry. Moderate carbonation with a good mouth-feel and slight Belgian yeast after-taste.
Description:	We last released Blushing Monk in July of 2011; before that, we hadn’t put it out in four years. This is the first Backstage Series beer that we’ve brought back.Blushing Monk is brewed with a ridiculous amount of raspberries and with a Belgian yeast strain that keeps our head cellar operator from sleeping for a week. It pours a stunning deep berry red and, at 9.2% ABV, has a surprising kick. The perfect dessert beer, it can be enjoyed on its own or paired with fresh cheeses, fruit, cakes and more.
