What about the beer?
Colour is thick dark brown with a small vanishing natural white head.
Aroma has sweet dark berries, caramel malts, alcohol and yeast. Taste
starts with sweet bitter fruits. Caramel-chocolate malts and dark fruits
take over with a bitter boozy kick. Towards
the end sweet berries and caramel rise with yeast and bitterness.
Aftertaste has sweet dark fruits and lasting warming alcohol.
Good Belgian Strong Ale. Shows the best sides in the start - lots of
malts, fruits and a nice kick of alcohol. As bottle gets emptier, the
booze kick in the face and covers other flavours. Nevertheless, nice to
see Nokian Panimo brew something "not for supermarket
shelves" and do well.

Looked for some religion-themed songs for the brew and Sunday service. What I found was: bollocks. Naming a Belgian style beer with a church or an abbey reference has to have consequences. So, after picking a
masculine match for the Pope, this fits the femininity of a nun
likewise. Someone might ask suspiciously what's the connection between a nun and singer Wendy James. That's a very good question.
