Midnight Monk a Dark Spin on Retired Monster Beer
After four years of seeking revenge, Terrapin Beer Co.’ s Monster monk will turn the other cheek and instead seek joy in the dark of night.
Midnight Monk Belgian-style Black IPA is being offered for the first time as the fall selection in Terrapin’s Monster Beer Tour line of high-gravity seasonal beers. For this brew, brewmaster Brian “Spike” Buckowski takes the yeast and malt bill of a traditional Belgian Tripel and hops it up like an American Imperial IPA to create a truly transcendental experience. The addition of dark malts lends a toasty smoothness that beautifully counters the big, complex flavor and aroma of the hops and yeast to produce a deceptively quaffable high-gravity brew.
From the label: Take off your robe and slip into the night to get one step closer to the Holy Grail of all beers. Midnight Monk Belgian-style Black IPA will have your senses juggling all the complex flavor and aroma this beer has to offer.
