Commercial Description:
St. Meinrads, the next in the Guest Brewer series, is a wonderfully fruity, malty Belgian Dark Strong beer. The Monks teamed up with fellow brewer and AHA Home Brewer of the year award winner John Fahrer to create this special elixir. Named after St. Meinrad the patron saint of hospitality this beer is sustenace for guests and friends and is nourishment for the soul. The Gospel of Brother Dave describes this beer as “a melody of complex malt flavors, hinting at nectarines. A lightly spicy hop flavor sneaks just under the radar as the subtle warming of the palate takes over hinting at dangerous delights ahead. The more one ponders this beer while sipping the more the Forbidden Ale evolves. This is definitely a beer to cellar.”

On tap at the Crescent Moon. This is a real treat. Pours a reddish purple color with a thick medium sized ecru-colored head. The aroma gives the nasal epithelium a flash fix from the huge alcohol. This is a serious beer. The flavor is so full of ethanol that you might accuse this of being barrel-aged. This has a strong and thick body, but not so much as to mask the fragile fruitiness. Grapes, plums, raisins, dates. This has ’em, but it is oh so mellow in the palate. Just a stellar beer that I really enjoyed.
