3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle from Brugges.
Clean amber body, big dense offwhite head.
Not much on the nose; some liquorice and toffeeish malt.
Medium body and carbonation, creamy texture.
Reasonably sweet malt body, some more liquorice and dark fruit flavours.
Not bad, bit disappointing for a Trappist though.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Poured from a bottle that was a little chilled. Murky brown pours with large foamy head. Doughy aroma with flavors of caramel. Fairly high malt character. I would’ve liked this more if it had some more spices. The flavor was just too bland in the one I had.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle:
Very small vast white foamy head.
Smell is a mix of mocca, caramel, water, spices, iron and hint of alcohol.
Amber watery brown color.
Taste is pretty full and balanced mix of spices, dark fruits, hops, slight bitter and a bit dry. Nice balance, though looks like alcohol is a bit too strong in the taste.

A descent Trappist beer but definitely not the best. Poured into my Achel glass. Best before date - 4th July 2009. Dried fruit on aroma; caramel, vanilla.. I get burnt roasted malts, caramel and figgs. I also get vanilla. Not too sure about the angel cake which mes is referring to. This does beat angel cake though. Good stuff. Bottle bought from Utobeer. Also glass bought from Utobeer many thanks to Ed for making me realise.

330 ml bottle. Dark and hazy amber colour, thick off-white head. Spicy and slightly sour aroma of dark fruits, apples and caramel. The flavour is sweetish, with plenty of fruits and a warm, spicy finish. Medium-bodied, rich but smooth carbonation.
