4.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle (0.75 L). Pours brown with a half inch head. Aroma and flavor of plums and raisins. Delicious.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle to trappist glass. Pour is brown like cola with a soapy head that fades quickly, and you can hear the carbonation like pouring a soda. Aroma is bitter sweet of malt and yeast and some coco and mollasses. Taste is more yeast and malt that comes of burnt or roasted nuts and dark fruit along with some prunes. Palate is medium mouth feel and full carbonation very fizzy.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cloudy brown with a tan head that is course and disappears quickly. Aroma is of refreshing yeast/apple, spiced bread, and a bit of cider. Flavor is overwhelmingly apple-yeast-spice-alcohol up front, very refreshing. This is then overtaken by a more bready, spicy flavor as the yeast subsides. This is incredibly drinkable, and much more apple-yeast, and less harsh spiciness than I remember. Tickling, fuzzy carbonation with a light body also makes this a nice break from the other big beers I’ve been drinking lately, or the not-so-fine BDSA’s I’ve been attempting to brew lately.

A very good beer. Smooth, full flavor and body. Nice finish. Goes down very easy.
4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 18/20
aroma has hops, yeast, earth... flavour consists of hops and yeast again, bread, some fruit, malt... very lively, very earthy mouthfeel... not that big of a body though... it’s roughness makes it great as does it’s beautiful appearance
4.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
750mL bottle. Great nutty malty almost chocolaty flavor. Mild after taste. Dark hazy amber color with light head. Let sit out of refrigeration for a little while for best taste. Tastes better at 55 degrees than 40. Still an amazing beer either way.
4.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Poured from a 75 CL bottle. dark brown color and a substantial frothy head. A toasty malty flavor with hints of sweetness that is not to overpowering. An amazing flavor is left lingering on the palate. Another great Belgium beer that should be both appreciated and respected.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle: Pours a deep brown color, with a thick fluffy browinish cappucino head. Cloudy to the point I cant see clearly through my shaker glass (yeah yeah wrong glassware, but when in college you dont spend any extra money, you ’borrow’ from drinking establishments around town). The aroma is cofee, figs, chocolate, molassas, caramel, grapes, brown sugar, to name a few. Lots of aromas, none too overpowering, all nice and mild, yet complex. Quite wonderful. The flavor isn’t as strong and complex as the flavor, but very good. Milder than I thought it would be, but nice. The only negatve point is the calories and the very sweet body.
