Serve in Trappist glass

Medium brown color, medium head. A full-bodied Belgian Abby Double. Very malty, some hoppyness. Nice malt sweetness, nearly fruity. Mouthfeel is full and expansive. Finish is smooth and clean. Aftertaste is malty, with a very slight alcohol bite, not very noticeable despite being a 9.5%. VERY nice beer. Very comparable to the best Belgian ales.

Excellent presentation, gorgeous deep caramel color with even bubbling. aroma is sweet, grassy, carmel, citrus. fantastic citrus sweet with high tart end and bitter follow through sent to the sinuses on a very vinous tongue. An amazing beer behind this cryptic tattoo-like wordless label.

Aroma of candish malt, lemon and fresh-mown grass. This beer is sweet, very sweet. Somehow, it still dries out on the tongue for balance, but that doesn’t quite mitigate the overly-cloying sweetness. Unfolds a bit as it continues to warm. I’d like to give this another try, but I don’t think I’ll ever come to like this more than the Edsten Triple Wit. Thanks to user_experience for this goodie.
