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.

Bubblegum, cocoa, berries and grapes in the very estery aroma. Opaque, dark brown body is topped by a pillowy dark tan head that leasts very well and leaves plenty of lacing. Doughy sweetness up front with plenty of berries, bubblegum and cocoa is joined by a fairly roasty finish. Sweetness and chocolate are lasting in the aftertaste. Medium body with very strong, prickly carbonation that is a bit hard on the tongue. Tulip glass. Allowed to warm from fridge temperature. Bottle (trade, Oct-05). Thanks, ClarkVV!

Bottle for rating #1400: Raisiny color, fairly hazy - almost cloudy, very thick, large foamy beige head, spotty lacing.   Huge plummy nose, fig/date soon after, accompanied by a heavy dark bread/dough aroma.   Taste translates well from the nose, even more raisin here, along with notes of alcohol.   Full bodied, but with a moderate mouthfeel.   Wished it felt a bit thicker.   Remains extremely raisiny on the finish.   Very warming as well.   Good stuff indeed!

Bottle. Dark brown, beautiful tan head. Fantastic fruity aroma with a slight chocolate and earthy component. Explosive fruity flavors with a nice pleasant malty bitterness. Nice full body. Are those hops I taste? this is one fantastic Belgian impersonator, even better than most Belgians. Get on your bad motor scooter and get to the Table and Vine in Northampton, MA and get you sum...
