Aroma is interesting and difficult to define. Has a little smokiness to it, but it also has some spicy, pine-like sensations. Smooth on the palate, maybe even creamy. Short-lived head. Warm finish.

4.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20 Owner40 (1) - Porto, PORTUGAL - APR 18, 2011 does not count
Tried it at Woodrock bar, typical rock n’ roll bar in Portugal. Served in trappist glass. Pour a characteristic taste you usually find in abbey belgium trappists, yet it’s different, as it’s lighter and slightly less noticeable. The aroma is not as fuity as you will find in quadrupels or even most tripels, yet it is still alot more aromatic than Chimay or it’s own Dubbel version. At the same time very tasty, but also slightly dry which makes it also easy to drink. Outstanding
