1001 BEERS: #16. VICTORY GOLDEN MONKEY



 

# 16: VICTORY GOLDEN MONKEY

Victory Brewing - USA
9.5% ABV - Blond

E: Pale straw, cloudy with visible yeast strains
N: Earthy (mushroom aroma), spicy with a notable yeasty character
P: Spicy, fruity with a slight astringency, residual sweetness
M: Warming alcohol, creamy, well balanced

Other comments: Based on a Belgian Triplel recipe, using crushed coriander and European hops.  It is a well balanced beer with a generous amount of spice and a lovely warmth from the 9.5% ABV.

Food Pairings: Stick with the Belgian theme, Moules Frites.  Or for a little left field try, Thai chicken.  

SCORE: 3.06/5
