3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
The beer pours a slightly hazy brown color with a white head. The aroma is dark fruit, brown sugar and caramel malt. The flavor is grapes, dark fruit, caramel malt, alcohol, yeast and brown sugar. Very complex and very nice. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. A world classic that didn’t disappoint.

750ml bottle. Pours a brickish colour with almost no head and no lace. Smells of caramel, brown sugar and grain. Tastes of the same. A little too sweet for my taste.

Appearance: reddish cola brown with big foamy white head. Aroma: sweet caramel and roasted, bready malts; some spiciness like ginger snaps. Taste: sweet caramel malts, dark fruit (raisin?); spices of cinnamon and light clove. Finish: medium, lightly sweet malts with dry and tart yeasty notes. Notes: Perfect. Great sweetness (but not too sweet), with perfect amount of carbonation yielding to a beautiful dry finish. Amazingly refreshing, superlatively balanced, complex and satisfying. The perfect beer. Perfect.

UPDATED: SEP 21, 2010 Lots of taste, tons of aroma, this beer is quite tasty. Not sure I believe its actually brewed by monks, but thats not why I would drink beer anyways. Recommend.

Very dark brown - off-white head of fine bubbles. Aroma is of bread and dark fruit. Taste reminds me a bit of molasses - also some yeast flavor in there. Somewhat earthy too. Finish is light, but with a touch of hay.

33cl bottle. In some respects, the description above is true. It does have a coppery colour and a creamy head. In other respects it is the most infuriating thing, with packaging and back story so promising but the product itself so bland and watery. I wish all the flavours and ’nuances’ referred to were present. Enrageingly inoffensive.

This time from a 330ml brown bottle bought at the SAQ (I also drank the 750ml Premičre version) Copper with a beige head in appearence, no head retention. A bit hazy, some sediment in the bottle. Spicy on the nose with some yeast. This beer is complex with some nice spices,good malt. Easy drinking for 7,0% alc. I love this beer.

Great beer. Reddish-brown in colour with a thick head that lasts right through the drink. Just the right about of sweetness with caramel notes, mainly malt but nicely balanced by hops and some fruitiness as well. Splendid.
