Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip, Tumbler

from bottle, served in tulip - sweet fruity aroma, clear dark amber color, taste has alcohol and plum? quite good but palate is a little thinner than i thought it would be, overall a great beer and one worth a re-visit

Bottle. Chestnut red, good off white head and moderate condition. Malty sweet with some caramel and a vague sense of mushroom funkiness in the nose, sweet buttery malt and peppery hop bitterness in the mouth with some chocolate and fig notes, gentle bitterness in the finish with some lingering sweet chocolate.

Bottle. Dark amber colour with a short lasting off-white head. Aroma and flavour of fruit, malt, caramel and some alcohol, but not as much as expected.

(33cl bottle) Crystal clear amber body topped by medium beige head. Aroma is medium sweet, peach, caramel, some alcohol, earthy. Taste is medium sweet, peach, vinous, some caramel, alcohol, earthy, light metallic. Medium-full body.

Bottle, a deep brown colour with just a bit of carbonation and think bubbly beige head. A fruity caramal aroma. Very sweet, which is countered a little further in the swallow by some carbonation and acidic sourness. Syrupy toffee flavours, with a strong woody alcoholic touch, akin to whiskey. Could have got a higher rating, but I just can’t get past that acidity.

A potent little number. A dark ruby colour - sweet and fruity in taste. Quite thin, but very palatable. Yes, I like it!

Dark body with a reddish hue. Sweet aroma with malts, berries. Sweet flavour, with licquor, spices, light sugar, autumn fruits.

UPDATED: AUG 22, 2007 Rødlig øl. Duft af kryderier, varme og belgisk gær. Smag: Meget krydret og let bitter. Sødlig og varm som en kloster. Men ikke så kraftig. Sprittet eftersmag.
