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.

A hazy brown beer with a small brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of chocolate. The flavor is malty with notes of caramel and chocolate and a dry end.

Bottled. Mahogany colour. Sweet and lightly almondy with some banana. Richly malty, toffeeish and raisiny, slightly salty finish. Big, flavourful brew, but too sweet.

Slightly rubyish brown colour. The aroma is chocolatey, richly fruity. The flavour is quite sweet, chocolatey with notes of oranges and sultanas. A little too hot and too spritzy, and these elements make the beer seem uncohesive.

Medium brown head atop a dark brown body with scintilla of red. Aroma is raisin, some yeasty spice, anise, light cherry, and alcohol. Taste is medium sweet, raisin, some anise, light wood, definite alcohol. Finishes with nice alcohol warming. Medium-full body with moderate acidity. I had very high expectations for this beer, and maybe the fact that they were not met biases me against it. Nevertheless, I do not think this beer is anything special, much less a top 50 beer.
