Doth has bestoweth upon me this monastery style ale from our own backyard in WA. While it's not up to the scratch of your normal Belgian trappist monk style beer, it's a pretty damn good take on the artform.
Boasting 7% alcohol, but you would barely notice as she is smooth as velvet. It has that typical slightly sweet pinch to begin with, and then a lingering malty finish. Only just at the very end do you get a bit of extra warmth from the alcohol.
It does just lack that bit of punch that you normally get with these ales. So in conclusion, this beer is deserving of praise even if it doesn't reach biblical proportions. It remains pure to itself, and is almost good enough to betray your best mate for.
Almost.
8/10
