Product description
Trappist beers tend to be named after the place in which the monastery is situated. So the monks of Mount Saint Bernard have called theirs 'Tynt Meadow, to honour the link with the plot of land on which monastic life there was refounded in the English Midlands almost two centuries ago. Being part of the great Trappist tradition, they chose to produce a strong dark ale, but one that has 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.
Tynt Meadow is brewed with English barley and hops, using an English strain of yeast. It is twice-fermented, with the first fermentation taking place in the tank, and the second in the bottle. It should be stored in a cool, dark, quiet place.
