| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jun 2, 2009 Bottle 0,355 l from System Bolaget. Clear brown, initially thick fading foam. Nose is beautiful, vanilla, marzipan, sweets, chocolate, caramel. Flavor is a bit boring, marzipanish, malty, caramel, alcoholic. A bit of a dunkelish feel to it. Not very big and the alcohol is up front. DigitalMan (113), Idaho, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 28, 2009 Typical sweet Belgian aroma. Flavor has a surprising burnt coffee note that doesn’t show up in the aroma. Lacing is lovely, color is dark and hazy. Mouthfeel seems strangely thin for the taste/style. As it warms, the alcohol becomes very strongly noticeable. lassem (304), Copenhagen, Denmark
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 24, 2009 Bottle 12 oz- A tribute to the jazzy monk - thats a pretty good idea and thumps up for the lable-work.
The pour is a clear dark brown with a neat inch high latte-brown head. The nose is with caramel, plums, alcohol and burned malts with sweet notes like honney. The taste is disappoitingly anonymous - there are not the power that I expected. High carbonation. The finish is alcoholish with a little burn. I tast the roasted malts, alcohol, sweet corn, almonds and sirup - The taste doesnt really back the ABV imo. jkaiser (219), Orlando, Florida, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 24, 2009 One of the few shining examples of brilliance at beerfest. I will try this one again. That can be assured and banked on. Defreni (999), Frederiksberg, Denmark
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 24, 2009 Flaske: Mørkebrun uklar uigennemsigtig øl. Ikke så pæn. Duft af chokolade og lille karbonering. Behagelig smag af sukker, chokolade og en lille hint af brændt smag. Udmærket øl. Beer2000 (1783), Kristiansand, Norway

Aroma of sweet, overripe fruit, caramel and alcohol. Flavor is sweet malty, dry fruit, brown sugar, a bit vinous and a warming alcoholic finish with balanced bitterness. Sweet, nice and warming. espenra (282), Oslo, Norway
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 21, 2009 Updated: Jun 5, 200935.5cl bottle at Olympen. It poured a dark brown colour with a small, almost non-existant head. The aroma is a sweet with notes of sugar, syrup, malts, banana, and plums. The flavour is also sweet with notes of brown sugar, malts and dark fruits. It has a medium long aftertaste. Overall it’s a decent belgian strong ale, but not one of the best.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 20, 2009 35,5cl bottle. Thanks to Baggio. Pours deep amber reddish with a creamy lasting head and lacings. Nose is sweet of yeast, berries and red wine. Smooth and full bodied. Taste is sweet with a slight sour and vinous note. Lots of dark dried fruits such as plum, raisin and a little caramel and bubblegum. A vinous and warm sipper. Some syrup and sugar as it warms up. Very nice. Nearly quadruple style.
