22 oz. bottle, pours dark brown with a sizable beige head. Aroma of yeast, dark fruits, caramel malts and burnt sugar. Flavour is quite complex, with elements of burnt sugar and dark fruits up front, with a yeasty and caramely finish. Medium-thick body, with a great complexity. Really well-made.

Bottle at the Funky 6. This was good. Really good. Pours cloudy brown with a moderate, light brown head. Aroma holds lots of dark, bready malts, ripe fruits, candy, and some faint hops. Very sweet, with caramel, bread, some more fruits, lightly bitte. Full bodied with average to strong carbonation and a definite warming character. Finishes sweet, smooth and a touch boozy. Superb.

Courtesy of sebletitje. Pours deep darkness with semi loose dark tan head. The aroma is sweet black strap molasses, brown sugar, boysenberries, cherries and ripe dark skinned grapes. The taste is similar with dark grapes and boysenberry jelly mixing with brown sugar, some cherry sweetness as well as sort of a cherry skin tannin tartness. Just below those notes is a thin strata of black tea and earthiness that really allows this thing to come together as it adds a touch of dryness to the experience. Another great beer from these guys.

Bottle via BA trade. The guys at MS certainly nail another one down. Dark brown color, tan head. aroma, dark fruits, malty, Belgian yeast style, getting some deep chocolate nose. flavors, caramel malts, herbal tea notes like-mint with underlying chocolate. Something about the palate that is outstanding and I can’t pinpoint, a mix of Belgian style with a full thick chocolate presence, yeasty, grainy, herbal, with a lot of dark fruits undertones.

Location: Bottles at Max and Andy's Fantasy Tasting, 5/1/10
Both as La Maitresse du Moine & Monk's Mistress
Aroma: The aroma has some notes of fruits, some malts, chocolate, caramel, and toast
Appearance: The appearance is dark brown in color with a thick head
Flavor: The taste is malty, rich and complex, a good balanced flavor
Palate: The body of this one is medium, fairly smooth, soft carbonation, and a bit of booze
Overall Impression: Overall this was a pretty good brew. It has some nice complexity to it. Good stuff. I've heard lots of good things about Midnight Sun, but this is the first one of their beers I've gotten to try, and it was really good. Recommended.

22 oz bottle purchased at Bottleworks in Seattle, Washington. This was labeled as Monks Mistress. Notch on the label is between N and D, 4. Pour is mostly clear cola brown with ruby highlights and a one inch light tan head. Aroma of roasty, wet camp fire smokiness and a spiced yeastiness in the back. Interesting nose to be sure, but a bit muddled. Taste is light soured black ckerry skin, followed by a smoky roasty malt, finishing with a spiced, almost banana yeastiness. The yeast has a dubbel character, though the rest of the beer was more like a smoke doppelbock with light sourness. The yeast really comes through strong in the long finish. Interesting combo that mostly worked together. Palate is medium, pretty easy drinking and did not really show much of the 11.5% abv.

Bottle, 22oz. A clear, dark ruby beer with a dense, two-finger head lasting for a long time, and leaving nice lacings. A bit sourish on the nose, with dried fruits and caramel doing most of the work. Sweet, caramel flavor with hints of sourness, berries, some spices, chocolate and coffee, and a little hint of licorice. Full-bodied, and maybe a bit too effervescent. Sweet, spiced finish. Anyway, it’s sure a world class dubbel, complex and well-tasting. 090619
