Collaboration with Northern Monk
Refectory is a collaboration with Northern Monk. It’s a big, thick, dirty DIPA. Double mashed to make sure it’s big and thick. New-season Citra & Mosaic, and London Fog yeast to make it dirty. It’s a veritable flavour beast.
Inspired by our Northern pals who push the boat out so much, this beer has everything we could throw at it.

A:
Pours a milky goldenrod with a nice, creamy two fingers of white head that settles to a film. Good retention; confetti lacing. (4)
S:
Orange creamsicle, mango, fermented orange juice. (4)
T:
Big, sticky, macerated, on-the-verge-of-rotting fruit pulp flavor. Dried mango, over ripe orange, some pithy bitterness underneath. (4.25)
M:
Fluffy feel with some coating sweet alcohol and moderate carbonation. (4)
O:
A very tasty New England IIPA from Old England.
This is a by the book beer for the style that, although it isn't completely in the zone, was very enjoyable. It is hazy with a pretty nice head. Both the aroma and flavor are a little muddied/muddled in the hops department and have that rotten mango character that I sometimes get from citra. It is drinkable and I wish I had another, but it is not quite as tight in hop profile or as cloud-like going down as some of its counterparts. It also becomes a little booze-heavy towards the end of the can which took away from it a little.Nonetheless, nothing to sniff at. If I was regularly in England I would definitely seek out other beers from these breweries. (4)
