Commercial Description:
Dark and strong as the style implies, La Maitresse du Moine dances across the palate with complexity and mystery--just as the Northern Lights move across the night sky, delighting the senses and enlightening the mind. In the tradition of monks who have devoutly brewed beers of character and strength for centuries, La Maitresse du Moine Dark Strong Ale reflects the passion and dedication required to create a beer this heavenly. This Mistress of the Monk is seductive, pensive and intriguing. We say it in French: La Maitresse du Moine. Seduction is but a sip away.

Bottle. Wow -- this is very dark, pouring reddish black with a massive head. The aroma is big and full of dark rich fruits. Alas, this drinks like a dark, rich beer ... dates, raisins, roasted apples. Very nice, as is the case with all of Midnight Sun’s creations. (#3309, 1/21/2008)

22oz. bottle, pours a darker cola brown with a nice foamy tan head, good retention and minimal lacing. Aroma is rich with ripe dark fruits, light molasses and spice, and a subtle belgian yeast quality. More of the same in the flavor, with ripe dark fruits and a nice spiciness that works very well. I’ve not explored this style much, but this is quite enjoyable.

Brown color with a medium head. Aroma is smooth, sweet, and lightly yeasty - brown sugar & roast dominate. Flavor is a bit roasty and alot sweet - brown sugar, yeast, vinous fruit, and a mix of other complex flavors. Monster finish that is sweet and sticky. One helluva dubbel

(Bottle 65 cl) Courtesy of tertons. Hazy reddish brown with a beige head. Burned malt aroma with both yeast and alcohol - perhaps also a a whiff of wood. Quite full-bodied with sweetish hard roasted malt and vanilla. Subdued bitterness but a very warming alcohol in the finish. 260708

It is dark with a bit of red when up against the light. The aroma is of metal and a bit of malt. The flavor is of malt and caramel. Basically there is not enough flavor in it in my opinion.

Bottle. A dark redish beer with a big beige head. The aroma is light roasted, and of yeast/fruits, chocolate and spices. The taste is much the same, but with some alcohol. Medium body with a dry sparkeling finish.
