Dark brown with ruby red highlights, a pillowy beige head, solid retention and excellent lacing. A beautiful beer in a trappist goblet. Dark aromas, molasses, currant, plum, a hint of licorice. Malts and spicy clove dominate, with the aforementioned molasses and plums, plus medicinal herbs and banana peel. Medium body with a slightly creamy mouthfeel, lively carbonation and a somewhat sour aftertaste.

bottle - Pours dark brown with a big, off white head. The aroma is mainly caramel malt. Flavors include yeasty caramel malt and a little dark fruit in this medium bodied brew. Pretty good.

Bottle. Aroma with lots of sweet, dark fruits, some dark malt. Flavor also has some spicy hops and more straight sugary notes. Kind of brash and not terribly nuanced, but ok.

330 ml bottle. Beautiful dark, reddish brown body with a big beihe head. Aroma of sweet malt, some caramel and a hint of brown sugar. Flavor is sweet malty, some caramel, a bit fruity, some spices, balanced bitter and I fine warming hint of alcohol in the aftertaste. Medium body. Very nice and balanced but nothing really extraordinary.
