May 11, 2006 Poured from the bottle, a deep reddish brown, lots of carbonation and a slightly off-white thin head. The aroma is yeasty, with plenty of fruit (sweet oranges) and some peppery spice. Very carbonated mouthfeel, yeast again strong in the flavour (and honey), but with a syrupy smoothness than sticks to the tongue.

Apr 28, 2006 33 cl bottle. No best before date. Deep copper tinted brown beer with a thin tan head. Some yeasty chunks because I wasn’t paying attention during the pour. Sweet plummy aroma, brown sugar, brown bread, warm baking spices (cinnamon and nutmeg). A peachy fruitiness as well. Smells like peach cobbler. Sweet berry and a lightly yeasty aroma as well. Flavour matches the aroma pretty well, some toffee and caramelized fruit, plummy but not overdone. Really silky texture with flavours of kettle caramelization, rye toast. As it warms the flavours and aromas become even more intense. Sweet, but not sugary with loads of bready and fruity notes. Long warm baked fruit bread finish. Very enjoyable brew.

Apr 10, 2006 red brown colour. At first I taste a lot of smoke then perhaps plums (fruit). In the end its filling and has a fine finish. Personally the plum & smoke combination is a bit too much for me! Defenetly not a trappist I would prefer if I had to pick from all 7 breweries!
CMUBEERMAN (415), Madison, Wisconsin, USA
Apr 4, 2006 Pours a light crimson brown and has a soft thin mocha colored head. Aroma is is a bit acidic...not much else...even as it warmed. Slight bits of yeast and fruit...kind of a miss if you ask me. Flavor is much fuller than the aroma. Dry malt, candy sugar, roastiness, and pepper. Very sweet. Mouthfeel is sufficiently thick.
