Bottle.Pours dark with a red hue.Aroma of grains , alcohol and sweet chocolate malt. Flavor is sweet with some coffee notes .Some roasted black malt and alcohol.Medium body .A nice experience.

Initial aroma of heavy chocolate malt and a caramelized sugar undertow. Also present is a melancholy alcohol and stingy spice; cardamon allspice. Color is dark with a voluminous tan head. Upon pouring, the spices come on full bore. Taste is bubbly and sweet with a hint of coffee at the end.

Beautiful pour, very dark cola with a gorgeous effervescent tan head. Allspice, caramel, huge malt, port-like aroma. Sweet, chocolate with raisin, pepper, and just a bit of warm alcohol. Enough carbonation to keep it from being heavy and cloying. Just a super beer.

another one with no notches on the day and week from psprings. Licorice and fermented silage aroma. Dark body with beige head. Decent sweet friuts and light roasted malt. Smooth on the palate but every other swig was somewhat watery. Thanks Paul.

9/19/2008: Midnight Sun La Mâitresse du Moine Dark Strong Ale smells dry and has hints of dark fruit and alcohol in its aroma. It is black in color with a foamy tan head that leaves good lacing on the glass. The flavor has dark fruits, toasty malt, grape?, and a slightly dry alcoholic burn. This beer is medium-bodied and highly carbonated. It is quite good overall.

6/18/2009: The color of Midnight Sun Monk’s Mistress Belgian-Style Special Dark Ale is a dark caramelized amber-brown and has an opaque appearance. There is a dark beige-colored head that is foamy like a mocha would have. The aroma contains caramelized malt, is delicately roasty like toasted coffee beans, and has a hint of dry smoke. The flavor has dark fruits and roasted malts that tend toward being coffee-ish. Theere are undertones of chocolate (cocoa nibs), toasted bread, dark brown sugar, dark fruits, and hints of berries. Cocoa comes through in the finish and the the high alcohol is completely hidden. This beer has a good mouthfeel and a medium body. I enjoyed this beer overall and appreciated its depth of character.

22 Fl. Oz. bottle (11.5% Alcohol by Volume - 13 IBUs; Month & Week Bottled: DEC 4) from Three Bears in Seward, Alaska. Rating #337 for this beer.

Pour from a bomber revealed a dark brown color with a mod tan head. Nice aromas of roasty malt and dark fruit. super smooth full body. Flavors hint at molasses, raisin, cocoa, slightly bitter hops, and caramel. Finish is malty and spicy and dry. Quite unique and good.
