Big Sky Brewing Company: Buckin' Monk Tripel Ale
2010/03/24,20:24

There is a reason this beer comes in only 750 ml bottles and a cork; this beer has some serious carbonation. And not in a bad way. I popped the cork, and began to poor into a standard pint glass, and immediately it began to foam. In fact the first pour was nothing but foam. To empty the bottle into two pint glasses, it took about 20 minutes, but it was definately worth the wait. 

 It's likely that there will only be 3000 blog posts about this beer, as it was a Limited Edition. And I know that it's a limited edition because it's hand numbered on the back "1459 of 3000". If you see a bootle of this in the store, buy it. It's THAT good. Once the foam settles, you are in for a treat as the sweet malts and barley give this beer an almost candy flavor but with a nice alcohol finish to remind you that this is a strong beer (10% Ach/Vol).  

You may be thinking, Big Sky, haven't I seen that name around before? In fact you have. These are the same people that bring you wonderfully mass-produced bottles of Moose Drool, Trout Slayer and Slow Elk. This beer is not of that ilk. It's a beautifully crafted beer that makes the mouth sing for joy and thanks you for not giving in an buying PBR. 

Four Firkins still had at least a couple of these on the shelf last week, I'm hoping we can be lucky enough to find one more.

I agree it was good, but why are you dissing Moose Drool? It's a perfectly lovely brown beer that reminds me of Glacier.
