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.

Slightly sour, phenolic, peppery, caramel, fizzy aromatics. Taste is caramel, coffee/chocolate, vanilla, phenols, fruit, somewhat tangy. Some alcohol, depth of phenolic fruity alcohol. Starting to get a little Belgian-y and phenolic and chocolate. Damn this is solid. Lots of caramel, and tons of depth.

Bottle. Sampled at YEHA. I’m happy I was finally able to try this beer. Dark brown body with thin head. Aroma is chocolate, hops, yeast. Flavor is chocolate, yeast, coffee, dried fruit. A very intresting dubbel. Very enjoyable.

Fairly clear, brownish pour. Aroma is belgian yeast and a nearly overdone roastiness. Plenty of chocolate and dark fruits as well. Flavor came across as a bit too burnt and I really wish they would have used a bit more caramel malt. Not nearly as good as I was hoping it to be. The appearance and palate were great, but the beer itself was a bit too roasty to truly enjoy.

Hazy brown pour, huge almond head. Aroma is slightly sour, chocolate, roasty and some light fruits. Flavor is the same medium sourness with more chocolate, roastiness and some coffee.

Bottle shared at Madness. Poured a deep dark black with a light beige creamy head. Very sweet aroma of roasty malt, slight citrus, yeast and dark bread. Medium bodied with lively bubbly carbonation. Sweet flavor of dark fruit, light roastiness, maltiness, yeast and slight tobacco on the after taste. Good stuff, it would of been worlds easier for me to find this if I wrote down that it was made by Midnight Sun.

sampled at YEHA. pretty dark brown in color with a small but long lasting head. Aroma: raisins, caramel, musty yeast, spices. Taste- dark fruit and caramel, musty yeast and spices. medium rich body with some light notes of alcohol, pretty well hidden overall though. Finishes with a nice sweetness on the tongue and lingering fruit....
