Jdub’s Brewing of Sarasota has been aging a Belgian stout in the darkness of their brewery for the last three months, but as of Saturday that monk will be turned loose.
Sinister Monk is a Belgian Imperial Stout that clocks in at 12.2% alcohol by volume and “will keep the drinker chasing the next flavor to be revealed,” according to the brewery’s press release. “The high alcohol content is hidden beneath complex flavors created by the Belgian yeast and dark malts used in the recipe.” Sinister Monk’s blend of malts combined with lactose, candi sugar, Huell Melon hops, and a Belgian yeast make this monastic one to contemplate for the ages.
JDub’s Brewing is located at 1215 Mango Avenue in Sarasota. Sinister Monk will be released Saturday, January 9th, 2016. The trouble begins at 8pm, and the brewery promises “it will be dark.”
