Bottle 33cl. Orange-yellow, Cloudy brew with small and quickly disappearing head. Sweet malts, hops and coriander in the nose. A little bit sticky and sweetish in the aftertaste, but this hides alcohol very well. A very good brew but i like the harshness and roughness of Westmalle more.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Orange coloured . Small head. Smell is ok, sweetness, fruits, caramel, spices. Taste is pretty full, decent, sweet and spiced, some cookies, yeast. Expected less. It’s not a top-beer, and a bit out of the line with the other trippel trappist beers. But that makes it a bit interesting. Drinkeable but a bit plain.
