May 12, 2009 22 oz bottle. Pours dark brown, little hazy with a thick tan head. Sweet aroma of malt, yeast, dark fruit. Flavor is rich and sweet with a lot of fruit flavor. Had no idea it was a 11.5%.

May 10, 2009 Someone shared this with me at DL day. It took me awhile to figure out which beer it was. Brown pour, light beige head. Aroma is very yeasty, roasty and some chocolate covered fruit. Flavor is pretty nice, but not quite in the realm of the true style. I got some rasin qualities, yeast and fruit. A bit dry on the end.

May 9, 2009 22 oz. bottle via trade with scrizzz - Pours a brown color with a one finger thick light tan head. Light lacing. Aroma is light roasted malt and esters. Flavor is lightly sweetened toasted malt and esters. Medium to full body. Alcohol is well hidden. Not as yeasty and estery as your typical Abbey Dubbel. Still, a very drinkable beer. Thanks Clint.

May 4, 2009 Labeled "Monk’s Mistress" - but this isn’t either of the retired versions under that name. Pours a dark cola brown with a large, beige head. The aroma has slightly smokey malts, dark fruits, spices and some yeast. Flavor follows suit, and it’s really good - though I’m not sure how much I like that smokey note. It fades to the background, though, and this brew covers its 11.5% incredibly well - I’m shocked the abv is that high. Only a slight alcohol burn on the finish. Toasted caramel / molasses, some ginger, and a bunch of dark fruit. The mouthfeel is great - it’s lively, but still very, very smooth. Really nice!
