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.

Ha, mine was from Kinz as well, way back in July secret Santa. The alcohol was here, start to finish. Very nice for a Dark Dubbel.

22oz bomber: This pours with a big, huge foamy tan head. The color is an opaque brown. Nice aroma. A bit of a fruity smell, with notes of raisins and plums. Also a bit of caramel in the bouquet. Suprisinly, a hint of roasted coffee in the taste. Medium bodied, with some fruit, yeast and caramel taste also. Very Good!

Lovely dark brown with vigorous tan head that fades slowly but doesn't leave any lace. Slightly musty aroma. Sweet malt. Yeasty like you'd expect a Belgian to be, but with hints of dark chocolate and alcohol warmth.

Dark brown color, with a large tan head that dissapates quickly. Aromas of brown sugar, spice, and malt. Taste very similar to the aroma, but also includes dark fruit . Starts out sweet, and dries towards the finish.A top notch belgian strong. Thanks to Kinz for this one.

Very dark red/black with a huge tan head. Aroma and flavor of raisons, dark fruits, and brown sugar. Very warming and acidic with strong carbonation. Too intense for me.

Mildly sweet and malty aroma. Some dates and prunes and figs present too. Definetly a robust and well-rounded winter brew. Mild alcohol burn, but it's not unpleasant.

Rated blind from "Better Know a Style: Abbey Dubbel" tasting. Dark brown with tan head. Aroma of alc, plum, brown sugar. Plum, dough flavor with dark fruit, very alcy, strong chocolate-roasty notes. Thin, some burn. Pretty nice all around and very attractive.

Wonderful yeast aroma with fig all kinds of dried fruit and some candy sugar. Very dark for a Belgian style. Dark brown with nice big tan head that is fully retained. Flavor is reminiscent of the best big Belgians, specifically Westy and Rochefort. Extremely deep flavor with multple layers. Lots of chewiness. This is really amazing brew from Alaska.
