Midnight Sun La Mâitresse du Moine

Brewed by Midnight Sun Brewing Company
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Anchorage, Alaska USA

It pours a clear dark crimson in color with a creamy off white head and lacing. The aroma is of cookie dough and chocolate. It is very effervescent. Nice chocolate and dough flavors with some spicy note. Creamy in texture. Very nice beer

Interesting, chocolaty, rich buttery, bourbon and brown sugar that is so very nice and complex. Dark brown with a thin light brown head that fades. Hot, with lots of alcohol initially and then tons of caramel and toffee with some dried cherry fruit that is just excellent! Medium body and nice chalky finish. Thanks to CaptainCougar for sharing this one.

Deep lacquered brown with tiny bubbles forming a deep tan head. Prune, port, mulled cinnamon spicing and scraps of walnut door frames lead the charge and are benevolently followed by traces of alcohol and waldorf salad. Flavor bears witness to a rush of dry crusted walnuts. Earth laden and sweetness centered. Unsalted mixed nuts (mostly pecans, hazelnut shavings and walnut crests) join figs pumped with a caramel concoction. Cocoa butter meanders with muddy almond allegories. Portly aspirations and character contributions interspersed with unrefined cocoa bringing up the rear. Thanks for sharing the bottle, CaptainCougar!

Bomber from someone at the MKE YeHA! Pours to a deep red-hued brown body with tons of visible carbonation and a creamy tan head. The aroma is very unique and hard to describe. Complex. Similar to some bath soaps made by Bath and Body Works. Lots of things going on here. Vanilla, figs, raisins. Hard to describe, but very good. The flavor is very nice. Figgy chocolate and dark fruits. Very delicious. The palate is medium-full bodied with that roasty feel and earthyness. This is a very good brew.

Bomber. Beautiful and dark, great head, great lace, catchy label. Perfect appearance. This is the perfect meld of American and Belgian styles. It has the dark fruit and spice of the best Belgian dubbels and the stoutiness and alcohol tingle of some of the best American Strongs. Aroma is almost like a sugar cookie ... if sugar cookies were made with bourbon, fig, cherry and licorice. The flavor and mouthfeel is were this one really takes off. Very full and spicy mouthfeel with a nice alcohol tingle that makes for a nice dry but sweet finish. There’s a heck of a lot going on with the flavor: chocolate, caramel, fig, cherry (and other dark fruit), and there’s even an earthy, smoky aspect to it. A very good beer from way up north. That commercial description is right: yummmmm

Opaque black, with the faintest veil of brown hues, the tan head hung on for dear life and almost made it the whole way through.
This Beer had visions of sugarplums dancing in my nose! It was creamy and vinious like a big blood red port, with a raisin alcohol finale.
Very malty, nutty even, with hints of molasses. Flavors go from roasted to sweet and back again several times, nice long finish that lingers for a while, the sweet/sour/dry cocoa toning down the alcohol fumes.

The pour shows a dark brown color with a thin light brown head. Good, complex aroma of roasted malt, tobacco, molasses, yeast and alcohol. The flavor is excellent , I could tasted a delicious roasted malt, chocolate and alcohol. The body has a light to medium thickness with a dry texture and medium carbonation. I enjoyed the monk’s mistress a lot.

22oz’er from Liquidsolutions.biz Pours a very dark amber/brown with very little head. Nose is full of dark exotic fruits,more like that of Rochefort 8. taste is sweet and nectar-like being thick and rich on the tongue.Lots of dtae and fig flavors.
