SirLimpsalot (843) - SWEDEN - FEB 11, 2011
Doft: Kryddig och söt - lite champagneläsk Smak: Belgisk tvålighet som börjar bli tröttsamt, trevliga malttoner annars händer det inte mycket mer.

Aroma: Yeast, sugar, earthy, spices, alcohol, herbs, bread, dark fruit, jam. Appearance: ruby colour, big beige head, leaves lacing. Flavour: Sweet, alcohol, yeast, earthy, has some bitterness, not very many dimensions though. Mouthfeel: Lively Total: Good beer, but for being trappist it is not that special.

VsXsV (388) - Linköping, SWEDEN - FEB 5, 2011
33 cl bottle from Systembolaget. Medium cream head and hazy, brown appearance with a reddish hue. Some lacing. Smells of prunes, plums, brown sugar, belgian yeast esters (banana etc) and some alcohol. Very nice, balanced aroma. Taste is a little sweet with a rather high bitterness for the style. Lots of notes of molasses and malt taste in general. A bit too light bodied for the style. Dry mouthfeel with some alcohol. This is a good example of the style and really well tasting.

konstifik (573) - SWEDEN - FEB 4, 2011
Pours brown with a big off-white head that leaves lots of lacings as it settles. Dried fruits, brown sugar and a whiff of alcohol in the aroma. Despite the somewhat sugary aroma, the beer is rather dry. Rather long aftertaste of dried fruits. Light bitterness. Lively carbonation but still a quite smooth mouthfeel.
