11.2 oz bottle. Average light tan head that dissapates fairly quickly. Reddish-orangish-brownish color. Aroma is fruity with a touch of floral hops (actually much more but unable to dissern). Good carbonation. Fruit is present as well as bread in flavor. I have been waiting on this one since I joined "ratebeer" a few months back. I think this is the easiest drinking Belgian Strong Ale I have ever had. Saying that it is complex and high quality.

Oct 5, 2008 Finally rated from a sample at WBF in Durham, though I expect to have this again. I love all Chimay beers. This one is vinous, with a deep copper pour and foamy, generous off-white head. Stewed fruits such as raisins and prunes. Some peat flavor and herbs, earthiness. Very good.

Oct 4, 2008 Pours dark brown with a small but attractive and long lasting head. Little aroma but I do have a cold!. Nice carbonation. Warming, malty taste with herbs, caramel and flowers. Raisins and scotch whisky also present. Alcoholic finish. No bitterness whatsoever. Would go for Rochefort 8 instead. Fair comparison though.

Sep 30, 2008 Bottle 33cl 2007 vintage. Dark brown brew, lively carbonation. Qickly disappearing white head. Taste: dark malts, brown candis, alcohol, dark dried fruits, slightly sour. Unharmonic but massive due to to high alcohol. There are better trappists.

Sep 28, 2008 Damn Good. That’s all I can remember, this was the first beer I tried at beerfest in Orlando yesterday. My rankings from Beerfest are as follows, Damn Good, Good, Alright, Bad, Runaway.
