Had from a big ass stone corked bottle ..very hoiy grail. Drank down from a La Trappe Goblet, yes ,I came prepared. What to make of this beer. Its very eazy to sink,if dull and errtatic. It might be only 6.5 % ,but it feels heafty,yet paradoxically its drinkable. Dirty yellow..with sediment floating pointlessly..aroma was a werhl-wind of subtle fruit esters.spices and raw alcohol. Its too sweet on flavour range. I meant its sweet then boozy and dryisly sharp. Alcoholic spices zipping around..everywhere.

0,5 l ceramic bottle.Clear golden-honey colored beer with a small off-white head. Fine fruity aroma with coriander, some hop and malt. Medium bodied beer with smooth mouthfeel. The coriander is the leader with fine top-fermentation tastes, nice fruity flavor, rich malt. Delicious hop in the finish, dry herbal aftertaste. Nice ale.

33cl bottle at home, iRate: Lightly hazy dark gold with an amber center brew with a fading and somewhat creamy white head. Pale malt aroma with some oxidized caramel qualities. Golden raisins and some tea leaves... The tea goes with the oxidation. A touch of biscuit and a faint far off vanilla. Nice pale malt in the mouth... But definitely oxidized. Wet newspaper flows into more pale malt with brown sugar and a drizzle of caramel. Touches of toast, caramel, and soft cassonade sugar finish it out with just the right ammount of residual sugars.

Slight hazy honey gold hue, with a white head, but falls quickly, leaving a ring of foam, yeasty, fruity, honeyed pale malt, bready dough, spicy nose with some pear, ripe apple, light lemon citrusy, zesty esters, with a hint of nutmeg spiciness and a mild candi sugar aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a yeasty, spicy, honeyish pale malt character, with some bready dough, candi sugar accents, some fruity pear, Granny Smith apple, lemon, zesty citrusy notes,with a faint flowery hop grassiness, leading towards a spicy, honey, lingering hop bitterness finish.

Pours a deep golden blond colour with thick soapy head. Flavour has a candy sweetness. Also has some sharp, refeshing fruit and a little spiciness.

This is the first time I try a trappist beer from Holland, and quite frankly even if its geographicly close to Belgium, its beer is far from its neighboors. I pours a clear gold color with an almost non exsistant white foam. It has a malty taste but nothing special to my liking. I have had many regular lager that are much better, and for a Trappist I was very dissapointed.
