improvjock (179) - Seattle, Washington, USA - DEC 3, 2009
Bottle. Pours a dark brown with huge, lasting tan head. Rich caramel malts in the aroma. Flavor is a little sweet and a little bitter, with a strong alcohol finish, which I guess makes sense given the alcohol content. Not bad, but not really my style.

Pretty dark beer with a nice whipped head. Aroma of fruits, sugar, sweet. Very nice taste. Taste of alcohol is very light. Some fruits and a bitter aftertaste, best thingt about this beer. Good trappist.

johninmelb (730) - Bristol, Gloucestershire, ENGLAND - NOV 16, 2009
Lots of raisiny goodness on the nose with a hint of nutmeg. Pours with a head you could build a house on. Flavour is complex - fruity and sweet but finishing spicy and pleasantly bitter. A fine Trappist.

Murky brown pour with a bountiful beige head. The head is very active, whipped up. Aroma of dark fruits/fruit cake, some caramel,spice, and candi sugar. Taste is sweet, fruity, a little alcohol, a little creamy, good carbonation. Leaves a nice aftertaste.

pompelmoes (89) - BELGIUM - NOV 11, 2009
Warm brown in colour with outstanding beige head. Aroma is like caramel, malts brown, sugar, and sweet bread with some smooth bitterings from the hops. Taste is creamy, malty and in some way nicely balanced. It is very tasteful, soft and very much caramel like.

planky84 (1170) - , Greater London, ENGLAND - NOV 11, 2009
Here I am. Finally at the 100th brew! Bottle from Theatre of WIne, Greenwich. Tan pour with an off white head. Good carbonation. Aromas of chocolate, raisins, burnt wood, pine nuts, caramel. Flavours of lightly roasted malts, caramel, sweet spices, dark fruits. Finishes nice and bitter. Quite pleasant.

BeerGestapo (754) - Mt.Joy, Pennsylvania, USA - NOV 7, 2009
Brewed in Belgium... Pours a murky brown color with a fantastic super foamy off white head that dissipates after a few minutes. Aroma of spices, malts, caramel, figs and yeast. Taste of malts, spices, fruit, earth and brown sugar. Mouthfeel is medium in body with a slight alcohol warmth at the finish. This is a nice brew to drink on a cold night.
