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.

22oz. Dark brown pour, pale golden around the edges. Really well balanced, and round, malty aroma. Dark fruit, cocoa, alcohol. There’s a little buttery note in there too, toffee. Flavor is similar, almost mirroring the aroma - pretty impressive. Chalky cocoa finish, a little coffee in the end. Bubbly and silky in the mouth. Bitter almonds in the finish. Excellent, the best dubbel I’ve had hands down.

bomber. This pours a dark brown with a large tan head. Had great lacing. Nose is of vinous fruit and brown sugar. Taste is of vinous fruit - raisins - and brown sugar. Mouthfeel is medium and coats the tongue wonderfully. It is sweet, yet the alcohol is barely noticeable. Very nice.

Bottle: Dark brown with a large tan head, thick lacing. Aroma is fruity and light (for the color) with some caramel and roastiness. Bits of vinous. Flavor is rich and smooth with dark fruits, little bits of cloves, some roast, and hints of dates. A little warming sensation comes through as well. Nice and smooth, easy to sip on this 22oz for three hours...

Bottle thanks Vferg. Great bottle art. Pours a hazy mahogany body with a moderate 3 finger white head. Aroma is slightly stale dry Belgian yeast, spices, some light sweet malt. Has an odd kick in the finish its dry with a lot of caramel malt.

Courtesy redlight. Pours a dark brown, with a small light tan head. Smells of sweet dark fruits, lots of caramel malt, and some sweet apples and plums. The flavor is consistent with the nose, as the dark fruits are seemingly dominant, but not overly sweet. The malts balance it out almost perfectly to the point where I need more sips of this. The finish is nice and crisp, with some raisins and plums leaving traces behind on the palate. Wonderful abbey dubbel here.
