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.

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.

Aroma: Dark malt with a good Belgian yeast mixed with dried fruit aroma.
Appearance: Dark Brown in color, hazy with a thin head.
Flavor: Belgian flavored with malts and spices. Fruity flavors came out nice.
Palate: Dry Belgian fruity finish, with a Good Mouthfeel.
Overall: A very nice Belgian flavor this was a easy drinking beer and very smooth finish. This beer can catch you off guard the 11% is a booty kicker.

had as monk’s mistress. pours a cloudy dark brown with a large beige head, and a very good lacing. smell of malt, some cocoa, dark fruit, and roasted nuts. taste is dry yet creamy, prunes, raisins, cocoa, malt, and a touch of brown sugar, ends dry and a tad bitter.

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!

a dubbel?! This thing is wonderful. pours out a dark brown color with a smaller head. aroma was big on dark fruits, sugar, and yeast, flavor was very much the same with notes of ginger in the finish. was great brew indeed.
