Cloudy, brown pour with off-white, thin head. Strong, yeasty aroma with notes of raisins and citrus. The flavor was less sweet than I anticipated based on the aroma and yielded a bitter aftertaste. Still, there were notes of orange and fruits below a yeasty, earthy mustiness. Medium body and slightly dry finish. Nice.

Very decent, w/ a rounded detailed malty profile that is not too sweet. Plummy dry fruit and brown sugar. I found this bottle perhaps a bit ’stunned’ from long bar-fridge storage, a bit constricted in the aroma, and the Blonde I’d had previously opened up a large bouquet of so many more aromas. Under-appreciated Trappists from Achel! ==slight re-rate== had it again, this beer MUST warm up considerably but then the aromas & flavors are really there. Order it with a pint of something else & let the Achel bottle stand 20 minutes! (+ 1 flavor + 1 aroma + 1 overall.)

Bottle sampled with Stegosaurus. Pours cloudy orang\brown with a beige head. Aroma of spices, fruit, caramel, and yeast. Flavor is alcohol, fruit, citrus, carbonation, sweet and yeast.

11.2 oz bottle. Cloudy burnt orange with a big creamy beige head that floats a little island. Spotty lacing. Fruity yeast and root beer. Initially a good malt-sour balance but doesn’t hold up and ends like cardboard and chewed grass. Nice medium body that turns to brandy sharpness.

Poured dark orange with a creamy tan head with big staying power. Aroma is sweet fruits and spices. Sweet fruit flavors, some pear and apricot and spices. Smooth moderately creamy mouthfeel. The spice has a little fizziness to it.

dark nut brown with white head. Lively carbonation. Some fruits and spices. The newest Belgium trappist brewery late 1990’s. The finish is long lasting like any trappist beer! Great!

Great golden brown body, with a large ivroy head, some sour aroma is also noticable. Nice clean taste, some light spices with noticeable fruit accents. Very fruity, yet clean ending.
