COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The inspiration for this beer’s name—previously, La Maitresse du Moine—is the beer itself. Its deep, intense flavors inspired the concept of a monk that seeks solace and satisfaction from the sensory pleasure and mind-provoking effects of this liquid temptress.

Mesmerizing Monk’s Mistress seduces your senses at first sip. Its daunting beauty and intriguing flavor fully captivate your attention. Belgian yeast adds character and complexity. We invite you to give in to this little bit of “heaven on earth”.

While Monk’s Mistress Special Dark Ale accompanies a wide variety of dishes, it is also a lovely and engaging beer to keep you company.

Submit. Surrender. Succumb.

(Bottle 65 cl) Courtesy of tertons. Hazy reddish brown with a beige head. Burned malt aroma with both yeast and alcohol - perhaps also a a whiff of wood. Quite full-bodied with sweetish hard roasted malt and vanilla. Subdued bitterness but a very warming alcohol in the finish. 260708

oh6gdx (16084) - Vasa, FINLAND - MAR 20, 2007
Bottled (thanks omhper!). Dark hazy brown colour, mediumsized head. Aroma is plum, some dark fruits and roasted hints. Also weak notes of alcohol. Flavour is alcohol, hay, brutal berries and spices along with some glueishness. Finish is rather hoppy and caramellish. Nice one, though it suffers a bit of the glueish alcohol dilemma.

Bottled. Mahogany colour. Sweet and lightly almondy with some banana. Richly malty, toffeeish and raisiny, slightly salty finish. Big, flavourful brew, but too sweet.

Oakes (10202) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - FEB 27, 2005
Slightly rubyish brown colour. The aroma is chocolatey, richly fruity. The flavour is quite sweet, chocolatey with notes of oranges and sultanas. A little too hot and too spritzy, and these elements make the beer seem uncohesive.
