Straight Beligian Ale, No Chaser

Published by breddings under belgian beer Edit This

Well, just as promised, I tasted the Brother Thelonious Belgian Ale with dinner tonight. (Mushroom pizza for me and mushrooms and olives for my dear wife, since you asked.)

Anyway, it is exactly as tasty as advertised. It is a rich, full Belgian ale that is as good alone as with food. Here are my notes:

Deep mahagony in color – opaque. Thick, medium sized head. Sweet nose with hints of yeast, banana and apples. Big, rich, thick mouth-filling flavor with notes of fig, chocolate, banana bread and just a hint of coffee. Long lingering finish; a beer to savor. In a word smooth…

Oh, and Celeste like it, too.

Brilliant Pours

Brother Thelonious Beer Label

I dropped into a local good beer shop earlier this week and found a brand new bottle. I’m a fan of Thelonious Monk’s music so I was drawn to the label.

Brother Thelonious Bottle

Besides groovy packaging this Belgian strong dark ale is a beer with a mission. A portion of the proceeds from each sale will go to the Thelonious Institute. Its mission is “to offer the world’s most promising young musicians college level training by America’s jazz masters.”

Sounds like a worthy cause to me. I haven’t tried the beer yet but I’ll share my tasting notes here when I do. I’ve no doubt I’ll enjoy it; I have yet to be disappointed with anything made by North Coast Brewing Company.
