Monolith

Monolith hits different because Burning Sky isn't trying to be a tripel—it's drier and more herbal than you'd expect at 8.2%. There's a peppery, almost spicy finish that comes from the farmhouse yeast strain, not hops. The body is lean but doesn't feel thin; it's got that champagne-like carbonation and a subtle hay-like earthiness in the mid-palate. This is a beer that rewards slow sipping.

Opperbacco Montepulciano IGA

This one tastes like someone cracked a natural wine into a beer glass—in the best way. The Montepulciano brings real grape skin tannins that dry your mouth out in a way hops typically do, but it feels more organic. There's red fruit character without sweetness, and a wine-like texture that's almost creamy. At 7% ABV it sits back and lets the fruit speak. This is less "beer experience," more "crossover moment."
