Dark mahogany with a fine sized sustained head. Sweet aroma with soft esters and figs/berries. The flavour is fruity with some light toastedness and a little spicyness. Medium body with a soft lively carbonation. Very nice.

Light brown reddish colour. Mild nose. A little bit sour taste. No sweetness. Taste of prunes. An aftertaste that I cant clearly describe. After little warmup the acidity minimizes. Available in 0.75 l bottles from one special Alko shop and some restaurants.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a reddish brown, with an off-white head and a roasted, caramelly taste. The atset starts off with a hoppy bite and has grains, some fruits and yeast in the flavor. A nice long hoppy finish, with a slightly thin mouthfeel. Good

In my experience, which is still far from complete, this is the best beer available on tap in the city of Austin, Texas. Best of all, at my favorite bar, it costs basically the same as all other imports--just over $5 for a pint. It does not match the true trappistes, but it comes really close for a lot less money! It seems a little less heavy than say a Rochefort, meaning that I can enjoy two pints without feeling overwhelmed. This actually makes it a more enjoyable experience in some ways.

(Tap) Pours a reddish golden color with a small white head. Aroma of sugar and light fruits. Typical yeast notes, with some clove and dark fruit in the taste. Specifically raisin and light caramel towards the finish. Good mouthfeel and decent body. A pretty good beer.

0.33l bottle at pub. Pours a nice dark colour, good head. Taste is malty and bitter, nice but not spectacular, plenty of better belgian ales out there. I prefer Maredsous 10.

A clear dark red colored beer, with a nice light beige foamed head. The aroma is nice, first there where cherries, some sweet and a little yeast. The taste is sweet, maybe a little to much for me. It’s light bitter, alcoholic, malt and it has a dry after tast. A more than nice beer.
