Mont des Cats Trappiste Ambree (ABV 7.6%) is brewed for the Abbey of Mont des Cats by the monks of Scourmont Abbey. It was developed independently from the Chimay range, but it has the distinctive Chimay yeast character, in both the aroma and taste.
Pouring a lovely copper color, a pleasant caramel malt sweetness introduces the beer, joined by hints of dried fruits, gentle spices and an earthy, herbal hop character. As the beer progresses, the bitterness builds to a lingering finish.

Brewery Information:
Mont Des Cats (Abbaye Sainte-Marie-du-Mont): Godewaersvelde, French Flanders
Mont Des Cats (Abbaye Sainte-Marie-du-Mont) is a Trappist Abbey in Godewaersvelde in Northern France, near the Belgian border. The name has nothing to do with cats, but is derived from the name of a Germanic tribe known as Chatti. The abbey was established in 1826 on the site of a earlier monastery which existed from 1650 to 1792.
Mont des Cats cheese has been produced by the monks since 1890 with the milk of local farms. Like other Trappists, they produce a Trappist ale to help support the abbey. Because it's brewed not at Mont des Cats but by the monks of Chimay at Scourmont Abbey, it cannot show the "Authentic Trappist Product" logo.
