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.

Another excellent beer courtesy of Kinz at the first Richmond Beer Night. A nice liquor based aroma, pines and spices are accents. Dark brown body with a minimal light brown head. Excellent flavor with high carbonation. A very clean ending.

Deep red color with no head. Weak aroma that was a little hint of Lysol. Taste was a one dimentional hit of candi sugar with only a bit of malt at the base. Plain, but I found it quite tasty.

This bottled brew poured a large sized head of foamy finely sized mostly lasting off-white colored bubbles that left behind a good lacing. The body contained no visible carbonation, was nearly opaque and dark ruby red brown in color. Its aroma contained notes of mild sweet malts. Its flavor is initially that of burnt malt with a tingly palate and a malty aftertaste. Its flavor contained mild almost bock like sweet malt notes and was tasty.

It pours a clear dark crimson in color with a creamy off white head and lacing. The aroma is of cookie dough and chocolate. It is very effervescent. Nice chocolate and dough flavors with some spicy note. Creamy in texture. Very nice beer

Interesting, chocolaty, rich buttery, bourbon and brown sugar that is so very nice and complex. Dark brown with a thin light brown head that fades. Hot, with lots of alcohol initially and then tons of caramel and toffee with some dried cherry fruit that is just excellent! Medium body and nice chalky finish. Thanks to CaptainCougar for sharing this one.

Deep lacquered brown with tiny bubbles forming a deep tan head. Prune, port, mulled cinnamon spicing and scraps of walnut door frames lead the charge and are benevolently followed by traces of alcohol and waldorf salad. Flavor bears witness to a rush of dry crusted walnuts. Earth laden and sweetness centered. Unsalted mixed nuts (mostly pecans, hazelnut shavings and walnut crests) join figs pumped with a caramel concoction. Cocoa butter meanders with muddy almond allegories. Portly aspirations and character contributions interspersed with unrefined cocoa bringing up the rear. Thanks for sharing the bottle, CaptainCougar!
