What a nose! Caramel and toffee with a cough-drop like sweetness, wafting around wonderfully. However seemed to lose it’s consistency and character once in the glass and in the mouth. Wonder if the bottle I drunk from here in New Zealand was poorly shipped? Great start poor finish.

TONS of head. I only poured a little and the entire glass was full of foam. Looks good once it subsided. Nice floral aroma. This is an intense Belgian beer

I had never had a Trappist-brewed beer before this. My experience with Trappists begins and ends with Thomas Merton. That said, the sweet, almost honey taste to this helps smooth out the taste which leads to a soft sense of well-being and cosmic pondering. A must for all beer fans to try.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 AlbertC (264) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - NOV 14, 2010
Appearance is big white head, pale though deep copper-gold colour. Aroma is brett’s with the horse blanket, green apples, yeast and fresh. Taste is green apples, dry, a small acidity coming with some wild yeast-notes. Dry finish with good bitterness.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 mattphilips (718) - Budapest, HUNGARY - NOV 14, 2010
Illata citrusos, gyümölcsös és komlós, nem olyan erőteljes, mint egynéhány IPA esetében, de mindenesetre mosolyt csal az ember arcára, olyan jó érzés fölé hajolni. Színe vörösesbarna. Krémes, felvert tojásfehérjéhez hasonlatos habja van, ami nagyon sokáig kitart, még a legvégén is marad a pohár alján. Akárcsak az illata, az íze is igen összetett és hasonló jegyeket hordoz. A gyümölcsök enyhe édességét és a citrusok frissességét érezzük először, majd megjelenik a komló és az egész átmegy kellemesen keserűbe. Ittam már jobb belga söröket, de ez is kiváló, és szerintem különleges is.

Hazy and bronze pour, puffy and lasting eggshell head. Aroma of citrus and other fruit, bubble gum, some hops and yeast. Taste is hoppy and spicy, a touch sour like citrus and a little bitter. Fizzy, nice bodied, dry finish.
