4.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20Bottle @ Vihreä Haltiatar
Mystical moment. My 400. rate and Ratebeer rank number one on my hands.
Pours hazy deep orange, with medium off white head. Aroma is alcohol, dark fruits, vanilla. Flavor is great. Smooth vanilla, dark fruits, alcohol, yeast, some banana, malts and herbs. Swell and best of its genre.

Big thanks to dcschiller for sending me this bottle simply because. Pours a murky brown with light sediment and huge soapy head. Very deep nice nose of toffee, dark fruits, sarsaparilla, and all spice. Tastes very bready and malty with loads of raisins, maple syrup, apple, apricot, licorice, caramel, and root beer. Mouthfeel is sudsy almost tingling with lingering flavors. Really lovely glad I finally got to try.

An excellent beer (and great experience drinking it at the Westvleteren cafe). Almost too strong to drink a whole bottle though! Still prefer the 8.

Personally, not my absolute favorite but I can definitely see why it is number 1. Bought the American 6 gift pack when it came out. Drank one immediately and aging the rest. Pours a dark oak color. Absolutely love the light feeling of the beer while still being quite strong.

Undoubtedly is a great beer. But I think it has a little myth behind, certainly well earned.
Before rate this beer, I have to say that I’ve drunk this beer in a bar (aux vieux temps) and I think that is better if you keep in cellar for at least a year before drink. If not, it has too much alcoholic flavor.
Aroma: Great, not too caramel, some nice esters, a little alcoholic.
Appearance: The best. Dark but not black. Deep brown.
Taste: Similar to aroma. Too much alcoholic.
Palate: Greate
Overall: The myth is grater than a beer, but steel being a great beer.

Dark nut brown color with slight cloudiness. Not as transparent or light in color as Rochefort or St. Bernardus. There was a small tan head that lasted for quite a while but slowly dissipated leaving little to no lacing. Aroma was fantastic, strong and much more evident than Roch/St.B. The flavor was rich with strong caramels, light chocolate notes and deep fruitiness. This was great all around- and leagues ahead of Roch/St.B.

Bottiglia 33cl @ Altrimenti
Marrone scurissimo, schiuma beige finissima pannosa ed eterna.
Incredibilmente beverina per il grado alcolico, molto strutturata.
Decisamente non il mio genere ma comunque ottima.

This beer is clearly overrated. Of course, it is excellent, but there are several Trappist beers that I would rank better, and a handful of other traditional breweries that most certainly rank higher. The beer is very sweet, due to the extracts and syrups that they have started to use over the last few years. It looks beautiful (reddish brown), is wonderfully carbonated, and tastes very nice with a clean finish, but is not as mind-blowing as I would have expected. I would take De Struise’s ostveletren 12 or Achel over this one. That being said, this brew is still excellent.
