2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
cloudy dark brown colour, fine head and a nice lacing, malt and yeast aroma with stong notes of raspberry bubblegum (typical of the recent La Trappe products), tart and sweet, very creamy mouthfeel, the finish is dry and malty with a quite unpleasant bubblegum feeling - this brewery does not deserve to be called trappist anymore

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle: A bit unclear, rather quickly vanishing off-white head, ruby-amber coloured; caramelly and toasty nose with a fruity background; moderate to solid bitter-sweet flavour, medium bodied. a distinctive fruity touch and traces of cacao in the drier bitter-sweet finish. Pleasant..........
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
A Mes rate:
Aroma is almost overwhelmingly of seafood and particularly mussels. Comes through in the flavour too. Soap suds and a little too bland in the mouthfeel. Iron filings in the flavour and a hint of sweetness at the finish. Nothing special at all and not a patch on their quad (or their blond for that matter). There are MUCH better dubbels.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at Café Belgique, Amsterdam on 8 April 2011. Thought I would try this as I hadn’t reviewed it on draught before. Turns out I hadn’t reviewed it at all. Reddish colour. Diminishing cream head. Fruity but not too sweet. Some plummy / cherry notes. Subtle sour edge in the aftertaste. Quite tasty and satisfying.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Kräftig malzig-süßer Antrunk, minimal fruchtig, etwas hefig. Im Mittelteil leicht herb, das Bier ist sehr süffig trotz der stärker werdenden Würzigkeit. Im Abgang cremig malzig, etwas herb, langsam ausklingend. Gelungen!
Test vom 12.5.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 11,10,11,11,12,11 - 10,90
