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.

Aroma is sweet with hints of chocolate and quite sweet malts. There are tiny yeastly banana notes in the nose as well. Can you say chocolate covered bananas? Brown sugar notes as well. Mostly opaque truly mahogany color with a nice tan head. Oh man, this is sexy. Start is sweet with hints of pepper and spices. Bananas in the middle. Roasty robust coffee flavor to finish. This is a mixture between a nice porter and a nice belgian ale to create a truly unique beer. A pristine brew!
