Mont des Cats
This French Trappist ale, produced at the Scourmont Abbey with the hallmark expertise of the Chimay monks, presents a vibrant sensory profile bridging the gap between a robust Dubbel and a complex Belgian Dark Strong Ale. It offers a brilliant amber hue and a bouquet led by spicy Belgian yeast, soft citrus, and floral hops. On the palate, a foundation of toasted malt and rich caramel supports layers of dark fruit and yeast-derived esters. The finish is remarkably smooth with a well-managed bitterness, reflecting a harmonious blend of traditional monastic craft and balanced strength, best enjoyed in a classic chalice.
Appearance. 12–18 SRM. Brilliant amber to deep copper with high clarity. Topped by a dense, persistent, moussy off-white to cream-colored head that leaves fine lacing.
Aroma. Moderate-high intensity featuring bready and toasty malt with distinct caramel notes. Esters are prominent, suggesting plums and raisins alongside a unique citrus character. Subtle spicy phenols, reminiscent of black pepper and light vanilla, mingle with a faint floral hop note and soft alcohol.
Taste. Initial impression is of rich caramel and toasted malt sweetness. Complexity develops with dark fruit flavors of dried cherries and figs, complemented by a light citrus zest. Low to moderate bitterness provides a clean balance against the malt. The finish is moderately dry with lingering notes of yeast spice and warm bread.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a creamy texture. High carbonation provides a lively, effervescent scrub on the tongue without being sharp. A gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present but smooth.
