loulan (126) - SPAIN - MAY 3, 2011
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.

Scopey (1192) - Croydon, Surrey, ENGLAND - MAY 2, 2011
Bottle from Nelson wines. It pours orange-amber, with low carbonation and a rapidly dissipating white head. The nose is hay, grass, pear drops, melon, strawberry, yeast and spice. The taste is hay, grass, sweet pear, red apple, melon, peach, orange, lemon sherbet and cucumber, with a fruity-slightly spicy finish. Too sweet for my taste.

Tweeke (34) - Wageningen, NETHERLANDS - MAY 1, 2011
Aroma of coriander, sweet notes and a faint metallic smell. Taste is sweet and spicy. It could use more hops for balance. The body is rather weak and let’s this rather well tasting beer down.

Bottle. Amber/orange colored brew with a good amount of white head. Smells like clove, banana, honey sweetness, and other citrus fruits. Flavor is more clove, some raisin, spice, and malt.

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
