[2759-20100212] Tap. Nail polish malt aroma. Slightly hazy, dark brown amber body with a medium-lasting foamy light tan head. Fruity booze up front in the flavour with weird musky banana cardboard notes and an overly yeasty bread dough aftertaste. Medium-full body. Boozy.

kazooka (55) - Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA - FEB 26, 2010
Redwood, khaki head fades to a white ring. Bubbly carbonation. Banana, nut, and caramel aroma. Heavy sweet into light sour with faint, short, bitter finish. Medium bodied, soft carbonation. Lovely.

kuphish (351) - Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA - FEB 25, 2010
330 ml bottle. Pours a murky, reddish brown body. Off-white, foamy head dissipates to leave a lasting ring of fine bubbles. Pearly carbonation rising to the top. Aroma is of intense raisin and plum with some grape. Well defined. Brown sugar and spiced rum notes become evident in the flavors, as well as some fig and light raisin. No alcohol is discernible. Medium bodied, but the effervescent carbonation keeps it feeling light. Lingering sugar on the tongue detracts slightly, but the lasting fruit in the nose is very pleasant. Overall tasty, repeatable and clean.

bozoNZ (655) - Christchurch, NEW ZEALAND - FEB 24, 2010
330ml bottle - Rich dark amber. Dark fruit cake, very sweet with hot alcohol. A touch of banana too which gave it the feeling of being an amp’ed up, darker version of the blonde. Fair - reasonable

godofsky (262) - Montréal, Quebec, CANADA - FEB 22, 2010
330ml bottle at Bières et Compagnies, served in a Tulip. i’ve been waiting a long time to try the only Trappiste not made in Belgium! pours a beautiful creamy deep brown with an off white head. aroma is dried fruit, plum, roasted malts, caramel and some scotch. taste is slightly sweet with no bitterness at all. this is a great beer to accompany a nice meal. it is full bodied with a creamy texture and medium carbonation. can’t wait to try the Tripel now!

beardfear (87) - Sydney, AUSTRALIA - FEB 21, 2010
From a bottle poured into matching Trappist glass. Dark translucent amber colour with a thin, light brown head. Aroma of dark fruits with hint of alcohol. Delicate flavour with notes of dried fruit, caramel and bergamot and a lasting finish. A very good beer that holds its own against other Trappist dubbels - I also preferred this head and shoulders over the same brewer’s tripel.
