I noticed a news story today about North Coast Brewing in Ft. Bragg, California is being sued over using the likeness of Thelonious Monk on merchandise without permission.
I've never heard of the beer and I'll never get it here, but a 9.4% Belgian Strong ale with 95% rating on ratebeer.com sounds good enough for me to attempt a clone.
There's been some discussion of cloning this here on HBT, but I found a decent recipe on another site:
http://brewgr.com/recipe/49277/brother-thelonious-clone-recipe
Here's the grainbill: 2.5 Gallons
lbs
75% 6.1364 Pilsner -
6% 0.4545 CaraMunich -
3% 0.2273 Biscuit Malt -
2% 0.15 Belgian Aromatic -
1% 0.1136 Special B
1% 0.0864 Chocolate
8% 0.6818 Belgian Dark Candi Syrup -
4% 0.3409 Belgian Amber Candi Syrup -
8.1909 lb
And the hops:
OZ.
0.44 Northern Brewer Pellet Boil 90 minutes
0.3409 Hallertau Pellet Boil 30 minutes
0.4545 Styrian Goldings Pellet Boil 30 minutes
Anyone ever had the beer or try a clone? Any comments on the recipe?
