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.

Sampled from 22-oz bomber during Dark Lord Day ’09, at table 1. Pours a semi-hazy dark brownish pale brew with a slow dissolving tan head that has some nice retention. Aroma of roasted dark malt, a hint of chocolate, dark pitted fruits and some Belgian yeast with banana esters. Taste is medium bodied, fruity character, with flavors of yeast, dark chocolate, roasted dark malt and a hint of raisin. Finish is semi-sweet, with a fruity and chocolate aftertaste that slowly disappears.

22oz bottle. Yeasty upfront aroma blended with roasted malt and raisins. Dark brown with an amber tint if held to the light and a big fluffy long lasting tan head. Sweet bready flavor with a light sourness from the yeast, alcohol is barely noticed. Creamy mouth feel with average carbonation and a long finish. This beer tastes like it should be in a bottle with an Authentic Trappist Product logo on it, spot on.

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%.

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.

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.

Much thanks to Chopin for this beer. Pours a rich dark chocolate color with a thin head. Nose of malt, raisins and dried dark fruits. Flavor is rich fruits with good malt mixture and some smoke as well. Nice mouthfeel that is full, fruity and with good carbonation.
