May 30, 2008 Kind of smells like molasses and...possibly cinnamon?...no...probably not - probably figs...pours with a beautiful, large, oozing of quality head (Schaum). Smacks of quality and complexity.

May 28, 2008 Bottle. Sweet molasses and brown sugar aroma with a nice wash of fruit. Noisy red-brown pour is nearly opaque with an ice cream float style beige head. Taste is malty and sugary, brown and cane, with a thin, slightly metallic Belgian yeast and light alcohol in front of the mixed fruit. Light bitterness with some interesting mineral and spice notes. Very very dry, yeasty aftertaste, medium body, clean but definitely Moortgat.

May 25, 2008 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.

May 21, 2008 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

May 20, 2008 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.
