May 4, 2009 Labeled "Monk’s Mistress" - but this isn’t either of the retired versions under that name. Pours a dark cola brown with a large, beige head. The aroma has slightly smokey malts, dark fruits, spices and some yeast. Flavor follows suit, and it’s really good - though I’m not sure how much I like that smokey note. It fades to the background, though, and this brew covers its 11.5% incredibly well - I’m shocked the abv is that high. Only a slight alcohol burn on the finish. Toasted caramel / molasses, some ginger, and a bunch of dark fruit. The mouthfeel is great - it’s lively, but still very, very smooth. Really nice!

Apr 10, 2009 [1909-20081219] 22floz bottle. Ginger spice aroma has a weird floral thing going on and a minty background. Dark dark red brown body with a big long-lasting creamy off-white head. Burnt malt and weird top yeasty bitterness notes that finishes boozily. Medium-full body. Good.

Apr 6, 2009 Nice dark strong ale. Pours dark brown almost black. Nice cascading tan head that fades. Nice sweet smell, hints of citrus and fruit. Creamy mouthfeel. This brew dances on the tounge but lingers on the tip. Smooth sweet and tastey. My bottle says 11.5% ABV but nothing about cask aged. This brew hides it’s alcohol content.
