Bottled. Pours a mysterious cloudy amber with big frothy head. Aroma of green apple, caramel, molasses, earth and leather. Taste is somewhat sour and salty though not overly so, slight bitterness in finish. Palate has a lot of carbonation; very alive.

Nice dark cherry aroma with Belgium yeast smell. Cloudy dark amber with a tan two-finger head. Medium mouthfeel with a little carbonation present. Almost too sweet fruity flavor but isn’t, it is just right. This is a great beer. Highly recommended.

Opálosan ködös,sejtelmes vörösesbarna színe van amit befed egy bézs színű apró buborékos hatalmas és kemény hab.Mintha egy krémes sütemény has teteje lenne,majdnem annyira kitartó is.Illata karamellás,mazsolás és korianderes.Íze egy alkoholba áztatott aszalt gyümölccsel és marcipánnal töltött karácsonyi süteményre hasonlít,aminek dió is van a barna tésztájába keverve.Fűszerekkel is szépen megvan szórva ez a süti de nem túl tolakodóan.Testes,olajos itóka az alkohol is kellemesen melegít és az apró pezsgőszerű buborékok finoman csiklandozza a szájpadlásunkat.Utóíze kellemesen keserédes,szőlős és komlós.Hosszan tart és hiányérzetet okoz,tehát gyorsan pótolni kéne egy újabb palackkal.Valami ördögit tudnak ezek a trappisták!

2 years old bottle, pours copper red with large off-white fizzy long lasting head nicely lacing. Burnt sugar and toffee in nose. Malty sweet flavor with a dry bitter finish. Nice filling mouthfeel.

A: One of the most beautiful beers I have ever seen. It pours a murky creamy brown color. The head is monstrous. It is sooo large and fluffy kind of like whipped cream in appearance. It’s like a large feather pillow as it comes to rest above the rim of my Affligem Chalice and leaves behind thick lacing. This baby reminds me of a root beer float. The head absolutely refuses to die. Magnificent. S: Very subtle smells here. What I do smell is rising bread dough with a hint of sweetness and spice. It has the aroma of a wonderful sweet bread in the making. T: This one starts of with a blast of malt; I taste slightly bitter nuts, and dark fruits. It finishes with some sweetness and hints of chocolate. Very nice. M: Very Smooth and even Creamier. A full bodied and filling beer.

Bottle. Pour is clear brown with a huge rocky beige head. Aroma is light malt, sourdough bread, clove, black pepper, light hop, and light hay. Flavor is caramel malt up front with a nice spicy hop kick. Also some black pepper, a faint sourdough flavor, light spice, and a crisp finish with a small alcohol kick. It’s a little funky and a little spicy. This may not make sense to anyone but me, but this tastes like an old recipe. By that I mean; I bet this beer has tasted like this for decades. Nice beer for a cold sunday of football watching.

A nose of alcohol, marzipan, lemons and yeast. Taste is of red wine, grape, iron, pears and amaretto.It’s yeasty and dry, and somewhat complex. Not bad, but not my pick for a belgian strong either.
