On Tap

While Belgian monks have brought us boldly flavored and high octane beers such as Tripels and Quadrupels, the beer that they are most likely drinking themselves is a Singel or Patersbeir. Like those monks, at Barrel of Monks you’ll likely see us enjoying this clean and refreshing beer regularly as there is always something to be done and staying on as even a keel as possible is key. It’s both the perfect beer to begin your quest into the world of Belgian Ales and an ideal choice after a long day of toil and trouble.

Charmingly tweaked from the Latin term Ab Aeterno which translates to “from eternity” or “since the beginning” depending on who you ask, Abbey Terno is our version of the abbey style Dubbel. This timeless brown beer makes liberal use of delicious Belgian candi sugar that adds notes of toffee, dried fruit, just a hint of chocolate and is dry and sessionable even at 7% ABV.

Possibly the most well known and timeless style of Belgian Abbey Ales is the tripel. In keeping with that tradition we use only the finest European malts and hops to craft Three Fates. The nose offers floral notes and zesty yeast aromas. Hints of stone fruits, caramel, and spices accompany this full flavored golden yellow ale. This complex beer pairs extraordinarily well with food and can be aged for years for those people that practice patience.

The quadrupel is the grandaddy of the Abbey style ales. Typically, they are dark, strong ales bursting with flavors such as dark fruit, chocolate and raisins and our Quadraphonic is no exception. This dense beer hides its 10.5% ABV well with a deep brown color and a long rich finish. The Quadraphonic is a beer designed for celebration and decadence.

Wizard is our flagship ale at Barrel of Monks, and for good reason. This is our Belgian style witbier, or wheat ale. This beer is pale yellow in color with a slight haze. It has a mild bready tang from the wheat malt which complements the bitter orange peel and coriander spice. This refreshingly wheat ale is lighter in body than most wheat beers, which make this ale perfect after a long day.

Every year we marry one of our most decadent beers, Quadraphonic, with the smooth and rich complexity of dark Caribbean rum barrels. The barrel adds a lush vanilla and subtle oak flavor to a beer already bursting with raisin and dark fruit flavors.

Be Mine. This is a version of our Quadraphonic quadrupel treated with cherries and chocolate. This brings one word to mind... decadence. The tart cherries and cocoa nibs added to the already rich dark fruit nots of our Quadraphonic, results in a hedonistic delight for the senses. This annual release is perfect for sharing with that special someone. Cheers!

Parade of Souls is our Belgian inspired version of an Imperial Stout. Bold and velvety, there are notes of chocolate and dark fruit with compleity provided by the Belgian yeast strain.

We brewed this light and crisp ale for our friends in Jupiter, FL. A 4.5% blonde ale with passionfruit, and was dry-hopped to provide tropical fruit notes without the sweetness from the fruit and the bitterness from the hops.

A beer that started as a one-off that we'd send to a few local accounts, grew into one of seasonal fruit beers. Now by popular demand, Single in Havana will now be available all year! It's a light blonde ale at 4.5% with a hint of guava. We pitch our fruit during fermentation to dry out the beer. What that does is provide the flavor and aroma of guava without the overwhelming sweetness. The perfect crisp and refreshing ale to enjoy outdoors.

This is a tart Belgian style blonde ale with passionfruit and guava added. The subtly sweet fruit juices provide a great balance to this crisp and refreshing tart ale. Coming in at 4.5% ABV, this beer is a perfect session sour in our south Florida climate.
