3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20 Lukaduke (1071) - Portland, Maine, USA - JAN 19, 2013Pours a medium copper color with a two finger foam that settles out fairly quickly. On the nose there is a big dose of banana bread, sweet brown sugar, light warm spice and a bit of fig too, The palate is a lot of the same and my mind keeps going back to the banana bread flavors... chewy spice with a mild yeasty backbone leads to a pretty clean focused finish. Not bad but doesn’t stand up to some other quads in its price brackett.

Poured from a bottle into a trappist glass, it is a nice reddish brown in color, nice velvety head, the aroma is very nice fruity with possible fig, raisin, caramel, feels very smooth feel of the carbonation. Nice warmth of alcohol it really is a pleasure to drink. A really wonderful beer.

Pours light brown with large bubble head. Flavors of bananas, vanilla, bread, ginger with healthy alcohol warmth on the back end. Good, but not my favorite Trappist.

Some sediment present inside of a red amber colour. Muted aroma but there is some belgian esters, bannana peel and malts. Boozy beer with a yeasty and banana flavour profile but I find this one this, especially for the style.
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 Abijen (270) - NETHERLANDS - JUN 11, 2013
Pours a copper beer with a not very long lasting white head. Smells pretty good. Sweet tones. Taste starts a bit to sweet for me but changes into something better. Don’t like the texture and the carbo.

4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 Atheist_Peace (739) - Halifax, Nova Scotia, CANADA - JUN 8, 2013
750ml bottle. Dark amber pour with lots of suspended particles. A lot of yeast esters and deep sweet maltiness. The palate has lots of stewed fruit and the yeast still plays a big part in the flavour profile. Finishes slightly warm.
