COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The inspiration for this beer’s name—previously, La Maitresse du Moine—is the beer itself. Its deep, intense flavors inspired the concept of a monk that seeks solace and satisfaction from the sensory pleasure and mind-provoking effects of this liquid temptress.

Mesmerizing Monk’s Mistress seduces your senses at first sip. Its daunting beauty and intriguing flavor fully captivate your attention. Belgian yeast adds character and complexity. We invite you to give in to this little bit of “heaven on earth”.

While Monk’s Mistress Special Dark Ale accompanies a wide variety of dishes, it is also a lovely and engaging beer to keep you company.

Submit. Surrender. Succumb.

Bomber purchased over a year ago at Holiday Wine Cellar ($11.59). Pours a cola black hue (almost completely opaque; darkest Belgian I have encountered) with one finger of fizzy dark tan foam. Aroma of rich dark caramel, sweet grains, sticky dark fruit, vanilla, and some light chocolate. Flavor full of sticky dark caramel and toffee, brown sugar, milk chocolate, raisins, bubblegum, and banana. Sticky mouthfeel with a nice chocolaty sweetness. The very high ABV is almost completely hidden, making this dangerously quaffable. Kind of different but very enjoyable. (416, 658)

Draft at the source. Black, scant white edge head. Aroma of brandied coffee and dark cocoa. Taste is smooth and boozy chocolate and espresso. Very nice.

deyholla (3134) - Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA - JAN 7, 2012
Bottle thanks to a generous California trader whose name escapes my memory. Pours a hazy deep brown with a grayish brown head that remains throughout the beer. Aroma is full of dark grains and dark fruits with a nice yeast note and a bit of toffee. Flavor starts with toffee and dark grains with a nice growing dark fruit note.

Bottle thanks to Blutt59. Pours a deep brown with tan head. Aroma of sweet malt, burnt caramel, faint farmhouse and dark fruit with a hint of chocolate. Flavor is much the same and sweet with a nice dark spice. Mouthfeel is medium-heavy with medium carbonation. Overall, solid brew!

watson1977 (928) - The dub c, Pennsylvania, USA - OCT 16, 2011
Pours black with a medium mocha head...nice lacing. Aroma is roasty with some hoppy spice...just a hint of yeasty fruitiness...boozy. flavor is also roasty with notable fruitiness, subtle hints of coffee and cocoa. Mouthfeel is silky and the finish warms slightly and lingers with mild fruitiness.

Bottle. [thanks gfrancis]
Pours lovely nut-brown with a medium, frothy, beige head. Aroma is sweet, caramel, chocolate, light cocoa, some mild berries, esters and plums. Medium carbonation, fine dry mouthfeel. Flavour has good sweetness, malty, some Belgian sugar, chocolate, light liqourice. Mild fruity with a bit of berry tartness. Long, malty roasted bitter finish. Delicious.
