That funky monkey...

So, to go with the FORT, I bought some Golden Monkey.

This is made by Victory Brewing, a brewery I toured with a buddy about five years ago.

Everything these guys do is great. They have a Pils that's really good, and they make my all-time favorite, Hop Devil.

Golden Monkey is a warm beer. It's 9.5% ABV (not a great step down from the 18% of FORT, to be honest)....but it's really good. Think of a belgian white, only without the spices in it. Warm is the best description -- you drink it and it warms you, and it's never as cold as you may have refrigerated it.

The alcohol presence warms you without making you shudder. (Drink something stronger than normal and you'll understand what that means....) It's lightr than you'd expect, if you heard how strong it is.

So basically, be careful with it, and enjoy...

Grade: B
