Year of New Beer: Path of Totality, Monnik Beer Co (Louisville)

Written By: Dion on 11/16/2017

So after passing this one by on multiple occasions over the last year, I found myself at the brewery today and decided to tick it off the list. Fooling the eye, a really solid coffee aroma is the calling card for this brew. It carries over to the tongue quite nicely, striking a balance with the hop bite that hits mid-palate. A touch of citrus peel and roasty notes akin to a black IPA on the finish. I've never been a huge fan of coffee IPAs, but this is well done, proving the old "less is more" adage by not hammering you with over-the-top flavors or additions. Great!
