May 25, 2009 11.2 oz Bottle - pours very dark brown with a medium brownish-white head that lingers till the end. First impression is that I like Chimay Red better, however as a continue my drink, I think I like this equally well. I do think the Red is slightly smoother, but considering the upped alcohol content in this one, it’s impressively smooth. Very nice aftertaste, malty and flavorful. The only thing that holds me back is the $5 price tag that each bottle carries in my area. A good taster, but definitely a special occasion beer for me.

May 22, 2009 Smells strongly of malts and grapes. Poured a nice dark brown with little head, and it left some lacing. Great flavor of caramel and different kinds of malt. Finished very smoothly, and left a great taste in my mouth. Awesome beer.

May 19, 2009 Sampled at the GOBF. Very sugar sweet and Belgiany. Nice tart raisin smells as well as carmel malt. Nice dark fruitiness. I can definitely see why this is rated so high.

May 17, 2009 Sample at 3rd Annual Great Austin Belgian Beer Festival on May 16, 2009. No doubt about it - this gal’s a knockout. Fruity sweetness with a little sour punch. Great recipe, not over the top, and very enjoyable.

May 17, 2009 Poured from 750, kind of a dirt brown with smallish tan head that disappeared quickly. Nose of fruit, seemed highly carbonated. The taste was a blend of fruits, malts, spices, finishing off very dry. The alcohol is decieving, sneaking up on you.

May 15, 2009 2007 Vintage. Pours muddy red/brown with a nice cream head. Nose is very expressive, unmistakably trappist. Caramel, chocolate, rum & raisin and a slight oaky nutty character aswell. Palate is a little more simple. Malt comes through early brining caramel/choc. Nutty/oaky character pops up again before hops and spicy phenols drive the finish. Great beer but not quite in the league of rochefort, st bern &westy.
