Great strong ale. Carmel flavors with full body. Beer has a nutty taste to it. Very balanced and no harsh alcohol killer. Very easy to drink and very good.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a slightly hazy orange with moderate white head. Light aroma mostly of fruit. Taste has some caramel malt and is quite fruity, reasonably sweet, which masks the alcohol. Medium bodied with a little dryness in finish. I remember liking this more a few years ago.

2.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Objectively speaking:
A feeble attempt at a trappist ale of some sort.
I like:
My memories of this before this most recent visit.
I dislike:
Hugely phenolic from start to finish. No head. Higher alcohols. Astringent blueberry skin finish. Very, very light bodied – lots of sugars replacing malts. Medicinal. Loaded with defaults. I had really liked it during my last visit!

It pours slowly a dark brown color, it has a spicy flavor and the aroma of caramel. It is a very good beer but I would not call it a Belgium ale.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a clear golden color with a ring of white lace. Aroma of caramel and spices with strong lingering sweetness. Interesting flavor of caramel, spices with dominating sweetness in the finish. The body is light with a liquorous texture.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Amber with fine head on top. Sill, stoic look. Aroma dominated with malts and alcohol which was rather well blended and refined , touch of raw yeast .Medium to full bodied, chewy malt followed by alcohol . Decent brew, no major flaws but lacking unique character.
