The Year in Beer Challenge continues on. Beer number 308 for my Year in Beer was Monk’s Uncle, from The Pike Brewing Company (Seattle, WA).
Beers in the Belgian Tripel style happen to be some of my favorites. And this one does not disappoint. A golden body with a kick from the 9%. If you enjoy Belgian Tripels you should give this one a try.
Notes from the brewery:
Pike Monk’s Uncle Triple 9% alcohol by volume is brewed with organic malt and organic sugar. It is golden, full-bodied and complex with a yeasty nose, fruity esters and malty dryness. There are hints of honey, spice and exotic fruit that play with the senses.
Prior to 2009 this was a seasonal offering from The Pike Brewery. But due to the popularity of this beer, as well as a much needed brewery expansion, this beer is now available year round. I’ll be a monkeys uncle.
Purchase Details
This beer was purchased at Total Wine & More in Orlando, FL. The cost was $4.99 for a 22 ounce bottle. The beer was purchased on July 18, 2010.
