I normally like this style and judging from the other ratings, other people do also. There was just something wrong with this beer. It just wasn’t what I expected.

(33cl Bottle) Pours a medium white head that quickly dissipates. The body is a beautiful, cloudy, copper. Has a pleasant apple and banada nose. Thin apple flavours are evident with some slight spices and malt. Finished rather thin and dry. Average Abbey.

Same goes for the dubbel as this. It isn’t the same as I remembered from ages ago. Alcohol seems to be prevelant in the taste. I didn’t mind the smell though. VERY malty and sweet in taste. It looked okay. I think it’s making me sick now. :P I expected more from this brew.

From a small bottle.Dark brown,little head.Old wine and north african fruits,strong malt.Computer says no.

cloudy orange with a citrus fruit aroma. very dark for a tripel. small head. not as yeasty and sugary as many tripels. some darker fruits and marshmallows in flavor. actually tastes and looks more like a dubbel to me. not a fan of this brewery.

On tap at Ølbaren (2005). Pours dark golden in colour with a large head. Malty and sweet with notes of caramel. A bit too alcoholic and sweet for me.

Pours hazy burnt amber. Smells sweet and fruity. Tastes thick with fermented fruits, sticky molasses and burnt sugars, plums, black cherries, raisins, some nuts. Aftertaste is sticky sweet.

A tough doughy; blonde coloured tappist beer. Probably one of the weakest trappist beers. Can detect hay and banana and cineman. The mouth feel is plesant but I expected better.

dark and heavy. a lot of flavor, but not good flavor. Tried to finish quickly so i could move to the next beer....
