Mt St Bernard Abbey - Tynt Meadow - 7.4% - 33cl - Bte
Description
Trappist beers tend to be named after the place in which the monastery is situated. We’ve called ours ‘Tynt Meadow’, to honour the link with the plot of land on which monastic life was refounded here in the Midlands almost two centuries ago. Being part of the great Trappist tradition, we’ve chosen to produce a strong dark ale, but one with a clearly English character. Tynt Meadow is mahogany-coloured, with a subtle, warm red hue, and a lasting beige head. Its aroma carries hints of dark chocolate, liquorice, and rich fruit flavours. The beer is full-bodied, gently balancing the taste of dark chocolate, pepper, and fig. It leaves a warm and dry finish on the palate.
Coalville, Leicestershire - EnglandWhen the inviability of farming became obvious, they began to look for an alternative source of income and common work. They aimed to establish an industry in which many of them could be involved. Brewing met our requirements. After much careful research and community discussion, they decided to revive the Abbey’s beer-making tradition. They know for a fact that beer was brewed here in the nineteenth century. Past visitors to their community have left accounts expressing their liking for the monks’ table beer. Although the historic recipe has been lost, they’re certain that the ale we’re brewing now is at least as delicious and nurturing.
