| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 12, 2006 Poured a dark amber colour with a huge white head. Very carbonated. I agree with others that it is not as complex as Westmalle, but its still a good beer. Boutip (2345), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 6, 2006 Bottle: Poured a deep amber color beer with a thick off-white foamy head with great retention and lacing. Aroma of candi sugar is pretty dominant with some distinctive Belgian yeast. Taste of sweet malt with candi sugar is dominating and a bit – too one-dimensional for my own taste. Body is also a bit thin but alcohol is well hidden. daniel0017 (232), Ontario, Canada
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 4, 2006 Aroma of fruits, hops and molasses. Dark amber carbonated body with impressive off-white head and lacing. Flavor of sweet citrus, yeast, hops and malted barley. Palate is slightly watery after it has warmed but remains sweet and tangy throughout. Very nice. opc (15), Ontario, Canada
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 1, 2006 Updated: Nov 24, 2006330ml bottle from the LCBO. I really wasn’t expecting much from this beer, but it definitely exceeded my expectations. It pours beautifully, with an immaculate head that maintains itself the whole beer through. The colour is nice, but perhaps a tiny bit on the gray side. The aroma is the weakest part of the beer, with way too much alcohol which drowns out everything else. Maybe some age would help with this, or at least even it out a little. The taste is very good, but a bit lacking in refinement and complexity when compared to a Westmalle or a Chimay Rouge. Overall a very solid beer, but at the same price as the aformentioned Trappiste ales, it’s not really a good value. It’s worth a try though, just for the sake of something different. beerinmarch (2781), Alabama, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 31, 2006 From the bottle. Way to much carbonation in this one, even with the slowest of pours it was all foam, had to wait a bit. Deep brown in color with lots of sediment. Rich sweet malt up front with a dry faintly hopped finish. Very estery with some banana and light spiciness in the finish. stiffy42j (67), Brunswick, Georgia, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 5/5 | 5/10 | 5/5 | 13/20 | Oct 27, 2006 BIG foamy head brown body...faint smell, it is soft on the palate but lacks the something...has a hint of bannana. i like this but wont buy again at this price.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 25, 2006 Wonderful mountain of sea foam head. Sweet and nutty tones abound. Sour and snappy finish. Huge mouthfeel, along with the carbonation means a nice, slow enjoyment. tomthompson89 (1471), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
