webbcreative (111), , Oklahoma, USA Mar 2, 2009 Pours a dark brown color with a tan 2 finger head that seems to last. Smells like a Belgian, Dark Sweet Malt, yeasty, bready aroma, dark fruits of some kind get a bit of alcohol as well. Taste is extremely flavorful! Get that sweet dark malt I was smelling. Seems like im getting different wonderful flavors on all parts of my tounge, front, sides, middle and back. Sweetness up front, getting some bitterness on the sides of my toungue, and then a little of the alcohol in the back of the mouth. Mouthfeel on this is out of this world. The only way to describe it is that it is Velvety smooth, starts soft on the tongue and I thoroughly expected it start to feel watery but it never did, smoothest beer I have had to date. Its and odd sensation actually - I know I took a drink of the beer, but then all of the sudden its not in my mouth anymore, its like it snuck its wasy over my tongue and down my throught without me know it, that is precisely how smooth this brew is, Vanishes from my mouth without me knowing it!
Overall this really is a beer that lives up the hype. I had this beer for the first time tonight in honor of my wedding anniversary, and I think I might have just started a new tradition...

goozen (1061), Leiden, Netherlands Feb 28, 2009 Bottle 0,75ltr: Dark brown lively brew from a monastary, with flowery and roasty taste. suchen (81), , Pennsylvania, USA Feb 28, 2009 Updated: Mar 15, 2009This beer was good, but not 4.0 good. Aroma was fantastic with a strongly floral, almost candy-like character but admittedly I didn’t know what to expect from the trappist style. Flavor was solid, a heavy beer which I love with an almost flowery sweet/fruity flavor in there and finishes just a bit malty. GranvilleTim (465), Granville, Illinois, USA Feb 26, 2009 1 PT. 9.4 oz. corked bottle. Nice pop when uncorking the brew. Made my dog jump a little. Sweet aroma came up from the pour. Light brown in color with a tan head. Taste matches the aroma. Nice malty sweet aftertaste. Nicely carbonated. Would like to get another to see how it ages. Worth every penny.
