Bottled@Monks Cafe, Wallingatan, Stockholm. Slightly hazy orangeish amber colour with a small creamy white head. Aroma is fruity, yeasty, spicy and some mild alcohol. Flavour is quite similar in a very nice balance. The mild touch of alcohol complements the rest of the beer very well.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Colour: Amber with a thick white head which blocks a lot of the aroma.
Nose: Fruity (plums, raisins), sweet malt. Toast and coffee biscuits.
Flavours: Sweet, mellow with a fruity flavours like banana and mandarin.
Turns into sweets like candy, butterscotch or licorice. Very easy to drink. No hint of alcoholic strength.
Finish: Medium, a slight bitterness of the hops. Not extremely balanced.
Verdict: Nice, accessible Trappist, but not quite on par with most of the authentic Trappists out there. Quite expensive, as well.

3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Irony aroma, copper color, foamy, almost soapy head. Tingling finish. This could seen as a true trappist. Bottle from De Schans.
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Nebuloso color ambrato-rossiccio, massiccio cappello di solida schiuma bianca molto persistente. Miele, spezie, fiori e lievito al naso; gusto mediamente dolce, speziato con note di caramello e un finale leggermente luppolato. Corpo medio, effervescenza vivace, struttura un po’ acquosa e non complessa come speravo. Manca di rotondità e profondità, peccato.
