3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
For me, the best thing about this beer is the mouthfeel. Other than that it’s a decent trappist.
4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
33cl bottle. Pours a beautiful plum colour. In different parts of the glass, there are shades of ruby and orange. The head is very generous indeed. The nose is reminiscent of stewed apples or even prunes. The taste has raisins, prunes and perhaps a glace cherry note. There is grated chocolate on the end. The palate begins fairly restrained but builds to a big structure, there is excellent length and the finish has plenty of bitterness/acidity which means the palate is ready for the next sip. Overall, a terrific beer from start to finish, complex, but elegant.

4.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bottle poured into a trappist glass. Nice, dark brown color, with a big, long-lasting, pillowy head. Fruity aroma. Taste starts off slightly sweet, transitions to a smooth, nutty bread, and finishes w/ a great hint of hops. Palate is its finest feature. Floats on the tongue with a creamy soft carbonation. One of the best trappists so far!!

Bottle @ Plan B, Copenhagen. Finally, another of my missing Trappist links have been obtained. For some reason, the Norwegian state’s strong alcohol monopoly "Vinmonopolet" had their blonde around for a while, but not the bruin nor the "Extra", which I’m still looking for. Pours a clear hazel body with a huge cloudy off-white head. Nose is nuts, raisins and dark malts. Taste is deep malts, raisins, nuts, caramel, toffee and dark candy sugars. Pearly mouthfeel with lots of carbonation that works excellently. A lovely Trappist, this one.
