Midnight Sun La Mâitresse du Moine

22oz bottle, notched that it was bottled the second week of August 2007. Thanks Colin (General_Gao). Deep brown with a 2 1/2 creamy beige head, great retention. Aroma is loaded with sweet dark fruits (raisins and figs, namely), brown sugar, yeast, some light roast, and a hint of melted butter. Very, very nice. Flavor is still relatively sweet with all the brown sugar and dark fruit notes with hints of peppery dryness and roast coming through in the dry finish. A hint of vanilla came from somewhere as well. A bit of alcohol is warming in the back of the throat and belly. Bitterness peaked around a 2. Moderate carbonation with a full body. A most excellent dubbel--wish I had a couple more of these.

Black in color with red highlights. Tannish head that is big and foamy. Smell is sweet, very belgian yeast, and fruity. Taste is smooth, easy to drink, sweet, with plenty of dark fruits.

Bomber. Pours a dark brown with a medium light brown head. The aroma is mostly yeast, some dark fruit and chocolate. The taste is really nice; a kinda dark Belgian Ale, some yeast, a toasted malt, some prunes and perhaps cherry, a bit of spices and some brown sugar. Really a good beer. Complex and smooth. Alaska knows beer.

Pours thick, syrupy dark brown. Aroma of slightly burnt figs, cotton candy, some spices and a chocolate yeast. Flavour is full bodied, chocolates, coffee, figs and rock candy come to mind. Truly smoothed bodies and deep. The sweetness kinda over powers the end, but over all, this beer simply rocks! To only experience it on tap would be wonderful!!! Get it if you can, Midnight Sun has a knock out here, our Belgium friends should take notice!!
