Had one last night! Well, sort of. Victory Golden Monkey. I've mentioned it a few times but as far as I can tell nobody else has tried it. What's the problem here?!

Ohhh - on the other hand - maybe an intentional oversight.

Yeah, but since when has price really been that much of an issue for you? In the grand scheme of things that's just $2 more than a 6 of Hop Devil.

Well if friends and family can go to all of the effort of making babies, the least I can do is knit up a little hat or sweater.After they are 10 years old though - forget it - too big! [This message has been edited by La Tortuga (edited Mar-03-2006).]

What about finding a single Golden Monkey somewhere? It's well worth a try, is all I'm saying.I'm just saying, is all.

Okay, so the brew is expensive and the price a little hard to swallow - let's hear a better descriptive as to why we should fork up."It's just $2 more than a 6 of Hop Devil" - doesn't really cut it. You all know how I feel about Hop Devil, but I have always wondered why it is so pricey. Ingredients? Transportation? Because they pay their employees more? or because they can? Just wondering As for Golden Monkey - I first need to get over the name - it's a bit disturbing (or maybe it's just my mind that is disturbed). A more descriptive post for MM might entice me to not only get a 6-pack, but even to share with friends.

I believe the first time I mentioned it in this thread (or maybe it was the last one???) I described it somewhere along the lines of "liquid sex for your mouth". Not very well thought out, but I was on a two-Golden Monkey buzz at the time...

Sorry to be a hard A$$ here, but come on - liquid sex for your mouth? No! You can do better than that - no rush here - take your time. As Randy would say - quote:

Right now I'm drinking the Golden Monkey. Anybody else had this? It's powerful stuff! 9.5% alcohol (am I slurrring my wordss?) and dangerously smooth, especially with some warming. I can't find anything that says they put honey in this, so I'll believe them - but that's what I'm tasting, with some really nice, herbal, not-quite-balancing hops. For all the sweetness that hangs on the tip of the tongue, it somehow finishes dry in the back of the throat with that lingering, heady alcohol warmth. It's almost a... err... sexual experience. Is that wrong?
Kind of worries me that something that "finishes dry at the back of the throat", is a sexual experience for you. But then, you're English.
