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.

Bottle. A dark redish beer with a big beige head. The aroma is light roasted, and of yeast/fruits, chocolate and spices. The taste is much the same, but with some alcohol. Medium body with a dry sparkeling finish.

#10 Bottle [Sk8viking great American blind tasting] Average creamy beige head that mostly lasted. Good display of lacework. Pitch black color. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, coffee. Over the palate came burned malt, hint of metallic notes and bitter chocolate. Medium to full bodied with a soft carbonation and mild alcoholic texture. Moderated bitter flavor and light sweetness. Lingering burned bitter finish. 7 / 3 / 7 / 3 / 15 = 3.5

From a 22oz Bottle. Pours a dark brown, cola color, mostly transparent, with a thick froth of fizzy tan head. Intriguing aromas of smoke, chocolate, coffee, and soapy yeast esters. As it warms, the smoke aroma fades substantially. Medium light bodied, heavily carbonated mouthfeel with a soft, slick texture. Flavors of chocolate and woody yeast characters. More smoke starts to come out mid-palate, along with hints of molasses. Brazil nuts, tobacco, and prune. There are a lot of different flavors going on, but they are all quite tasty. Stylistically, it’s not really a dubbel, but don’t let that interfere with your enjoyment; it’s not interrupting mine.

Loved this beer. Bottle from Liquid Solutions. Pours dark brown/black with thick rocky sustained head. Aroma of sweet malts and sugar, with flavor to match.
