2.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
750 ml bottle. Flat no head burnt orange body. Aroma of cobwebs, cork, must, caramel, madiera, brandy. Taste is stale, fruity esters, sour, cork. Flat. Corked bottle. Need to re-rate. Had two bottles. Both oxidized and labeled 12:58 K06L1
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Dark gold, like Gulden Draak. Aromas are bready yeast and sweet fruit with banana and spices. Flavours have the same doughy qualities with more sweet fruity malts. Great trappist mouthfeel. Good beer.
3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Amber color, light sweet malty fruity aroma and taste wihe a hint of alcohol, medium body, light sweet alcoholic finish.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Coppery and hazy in color with a small white head. Smells of hay, citrus, coriander, crabapples, and macintosh apples. Taste is bitter sweet with cherries, and citrus being most prevelant. Very smooth finish.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
330ml bottle (Cracked Kettle, Amsterdam)
Righ orante, brief frothy head. Apple, pear and a touch of peach in
the aroma. Lively carbonation, alcoholic vapours in the mouth. Simple
sweet malty body, touch of alcohol, but not actual burn. Dry tingly
hops. Uninspired. Possibly the worst Trappist beer I’ve ever
encountered.
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Hazy amber, quite dark. The head is off-white and thin, not too well cut bubbles, but long lasting film. Aroma is fruity mangos and oranges. Light in mouth, a little weak on the palate, but nice fruitiness esters, peaches and oranges. Carbonation is medium with a slight flowery hops feel. It's honest, but indeed not trappist material, nor one of the great tripels.
4.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 20/20
A bit sour and satisfying. Yeasty and orange and apples aroma.
Hazy white with an orange tint. Mid-sip coriander spice. Almost as good as the quad. Medium wheat grain and creme mouthfeel.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours hazy dark straw with big fizzy white head. Aroma of Brett, fruit, Swiss cheese, hopcit, lively yeast esters, sweaty female body parts including feet and taint. Tastes hopcity, with a firm, dense, Bretty mouthfeel. The finish is citrusy and spicy, with more fruit and hops. Great complexity. I’d drink this any day of the week and twice on Sunday (and 15 times on Saturday).
