UPDATED: JAN 23, 2012 0,75l Bottle. Dark brown red with frothy head, that sets fast. Aromas orange, sour citrus, glue. ethanol, fruits. Palate sour, citrus, carbonation crispy, mouth feel refreshing some sweet malts. After taste warmth from alcohol, honey melon, no bitterness. Fantastic , complex brew.

Bottled. Deep ruby to copper beer, creamy but thin head. Intes fruity aroma has plums, dates and some bubblegummy/fruity yeast. Sweet malty and candi sugary flavor, winegummy yeastiness and some alcohol. A bit straightforward. Medium body, high carbonation. Sticky and slightly alcoholic texture.

Ottima birra dal sapore molto struturato. Dolce e aromatica. Molto persistente. Aromindi frutta rossa.

This a pleasant bubbly ale that is light yet full of delicious malt flavors. The only of the 7 official Trappist ales to be made in the Netherlands.

Pours a hazy autumn gold with a long lasting head and full top-to-bottom lacing. This is traditional, but well done: sweet caramel malt cut by light floral and carbonation bittering....just enough to balance, but never getting in the way of the alcohol or the lingering sweetness. A big alcoholic taste. Well done.

[Rated 06/04/2010] Pours dark red with white head. Aroma is soft and sweet, of alcohol. Flavor is really sweet and warm, a lot of unfermentable sugars aparently. Leaves a very long and nice finish. Very good brew without week points, somewhat sweeter than all the other trappist quads.
