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.

Thanks to Ben Johnson for opening up this bottle to share while I was at the Midnight Sun tasting room. Pours a deep brown with amber highlights and a medium tan creamy lacing head. Aroma of dark fruits, cherry, malty sweetness. Flavor of roasted malts, Belgian spices, yeast and dark fruits.

This is a great dubbel. Tried it at Condordia Ale House in Portland. Pours dark brown/amber, hazy, lots of head. Aroma is dark fruit up front, followed by malt. Flavor is complex, spices, dates, carmel, plum, good amount of yeast. Mouthfeel was chewy but light, and carbonated. Will have it again.

2003 bottled shared by Styles. Muddy brown body with tan cover, some lace. The aroma is delicious, toffee, ripe plums, raisins and light roast. The flavor is brown sugar, vinous, prunes, sherry, rum with just a touch of chocolate. Medium body is very soft with just a touch of warmth in the finish (it’s only real flaw). Amazing. Thanks for sharing Chris.

Bottled. Thanks Per. Very dark brown colour. Aroma from darks fruits, plums and bit roasty. Tad chocolate. Chewy mouthfeel and very flavourful with notes of chocolate, toast and berries. Light mouthfeel considering the abv.

Huge head that never seems to want to go down. Interesting flavors. A bit too malty and sweet for my palette, but that may be what Dubbels are all about. A great beer, but I think that one can quite easily tell that its Belgian style rather than Belgian.

Bottled (thanks omhper!). Dark hazy brown colour, mediumsized head. Aroma is plum, some dark fruits and roasted hints. Also weak notes of alcohol. Flavour is alcohol, hay, brutal berries and spices along with some glueishness. Finish is rather hoppy and caramellish. Nice one, though it suffers a bit of the glueish alcohol dilemma.
