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.

22oz bottle from ClarkVV. Pours a jet black color with a thick foamy light beige head. Head receedes leaving about 1/4 inch of foam that stays with the beer throughout consumption. Sporadic lacing is left. Nose is light chocolate malt, lots of grape skins and plums. Flavors contain more of the chocolate malt with a lower percentage of the grape skins and plums, some earthy notes and peat. Palate is quite fizzy and full with a lightly playful finish. Mouth is left with a small film, tongue is weathered, and burps ensue.

Ha, mine was from Kinz as well, way back in July secret Santa. The alcohol was here, start to finish. Very nice for a Dark Dubbel.

Another excellent beer courtesy of Kinz at the first Richmond Beer Night. A nice liquor based aroma, pines and spices are accents. Dark brown body with a minimal light brown head. Excellent flavor with high carbonation. A very clean ending.

Deep red color with no head. Weak aroma that was a little hint of Lysol. Taste was a one dimentional hit of candi sugar with only a bit of malt at the base. Plain, but I found it quite tasty.

This bottled brew poured a large sized head of foamy finely sized mostly lasting off-white colored bubbles that left behind a good lacing. The body contained no visible carbonation, was nearly opaque and dark ruby red brown in color. Its aroma contained notes of mild sweet malts. Its flavor is initially that of burnt malt with a tingly palate and a malty aftertaste. Its flavor contained mild almost bock like sweet malt notes and was tasty.
